![]() My shocks/struts are not quite shot but the bounce test is taking about 2.5 rebounds to settle so I figure it's time to replace them for the first time. Such a small thing that others wouldn't think twice about but I totally respect.Īlright, so FINALLY to my question. And true to my word in respect to you TRUE Redline owners, I have not yet placed my Redline emblem on my trunk lid and will not do so until I am supercharged. Still have not gotten around to getting the ZZP bolt on supercharger kit but if I don't do it this year I will next year for sure. So as you can see, I may have been away but my passion for these great IONs has never left and I've been busy upgrading as well. It's different but you'll have to wait for the pic! Also, need to bake them open again to change the LEDs as natural 5K white looks yellow compared to the 5K HIDs so I'l going to change them to cool white. Along with the HID kit also installed LED "DRLs" (but not really, just tapped into the side marker light) but did NOT do it Audi R8 style as I originally longed to do. Finally got brave enough to bake open my headlights and install the Morimoto Mini H1 HID kit with 5000K bulbs Wrapped above wheels in Michelin PilotSport A/S3 Asymmetric 225/45/R17s Upgraded wheels to 17"x7" multi-spoke OZ Italia 150 that were black but I painted white with black accents to match my car Replaced stock front rotors and pads with slotted StopTech discs and Hawk HPS pads Stock air filter changed to K&N (still in regular airbox, not cold air) Changed high center brake lamp lights to LED I'll post pics when I have a chance but here's a quick recap: I've even done some mods/upgrades to her since my last update (beyond the hidden antenna mod lol) that I hope to make some of you proud. ![]() Just wait til the next one by August!Īnyway, enough about me and back to my awesome 2007 Saturn ION3 QC who is still running like a champ now at 46000 miles (yeah, I've finally taken her on some long trips and she's stretched her legs a bit. To date I have had: '14 Chevy Trax LTZ, '15 Chevy Impala LTZ, '15 GMC Terrain Denali, and am currently in a '15 GMC Canyon SLT. Get a new company vehicle every 4 months or 7400 miles, whichever comes first. Very cool stuff, basically makes me the equivalent of a GM Geek Squad rep (a la Best Buy). Basically that means I educate dealership staff on in-vehicle technologies focusing primarily on OnStar and the infotainment systems. So quickly on myself, I've got my MBA and actually now work for the company I've always wanted to work for and will make a lot of you happy - General Motors of Canada! I've been with them just over a year (started May 2014) and work in the field covering a territory as a Connected Customer Specialist. Nice to see that a lot of the forum members I recall are still here - very nice! Check the K&N catalog or website for vehicle applications and specific CARB status for each vehicle and air intake.Apologies as I have not posted in here in FOREVER but I have been very busy over the past few *years* but have logged in and read up every once in a while. Some Typhoon air intakes are not legal for sale or use in California and other states adopting California emission standards while others are CARB exempt and 50 state legal. The tools needed are a couple of screwdrivers, a ratchet set and an Allen wrench. This cold air intake is relatively easy to install usually in 90 minutes or less using existing factory mounting points. The air filter can be used for up to 100,000 miles before servicing is needed depending on driving conditions. The oversized cone shaped air filter comes with a water repellent Dr圜harger filter wrap to protect the filter from moisture. The cold-air intake system accommodates the factory mass air sensor and crank case vent hose. The intake tubes have an attractive chrome-like finish that's made to last. The 69-8431TP cold-air intake consists of a black rubber topped K&N high-flow air filter that mounts near the driver side wheel well directing cooler outside air through free-flowing aluminum tubing into a short ram induction tube that delivers high volumes of clean, colder air into the engine's throttle body for a guaranteed power gain. More air means more usable power and acceleration throughout the engine's RPM range. This allows your engine to inhale a larger amount of denser air than the factory air intake. The restrictive factory air filter and air intake housing are replaced by the K&N Typhoon cold-air intake which is designed to pull in relatively cooler air and dramatically reduce air flow restriction by smoothing and straightening air flow. ![]() The K&N 69-8431TP Typhoon cold-air intake system is a free-flowing, mandrel-bent aluminum tube air induction system designed to fit some Saturn Ion models.
