Review: K/N Typhoon Intake
I didn’t plan on doing this mod anytime soon, as I didn’t really want to spend $3XX on a “hot air intake” as some people like to call them; but one popped up locally for cheap so I grabbed it. I had originally planned to do an install write-up of this intake, but the install…

Install/Review: DSS Carbon Fiber Driveshaft

They can be had for around $100 and the steering feel/handling upgrade is similar to that of improving throttle response. If you like suspension response mods, put this one on your list. The only downside is the installation. You can install…
