K&N Typhoon CAI

Can anyone direct me to the best place to get a K&N Typhoon CAI? Seems like everywhere I went the price is exactly the same. Didn't know if anyone found a supplier that offers them at a good price.

If you are looking to buy that thing you may as well buy my slightly used NM Engineering intake. It is a much better system than the K&N. Comes with a larger diameter turbo inlet tube and looks much better. And sounds awesome.

E-bay, about $225. I have one and am very happy with it although I have nothing to compare it to since it's the only one I've had. The quality and craftmanship is very nice. It sounds good too.

Ebay also has the Apollo which is the basis of the Defenders of Speed (DOS) that is getting good reviews.

C'mon! That was a good time. A good number of folks actually did some reading on that thread before posting and played a very fair game of "Stump the Chumps" with eachother. Otto's thread had a definite chance of going way down hill, but it managed to maintain some level of relative sanity. Overall, I was pretty impressed.

why is it so much better than K&N, just because it's blue and costs more $$? I actually like mine a lot, who cares how it looks under hood, no one can see it anyway. K&N is a reputable company with a lot of experience.
