I LOVE the Tyhpoon.The sound is amazing, and coupled with the ground wires, the car feels a LOT better in the pickup. The Vibe can be described as a "mean-looking" car, now it has a sound to go along with it. I would highly recommend this Short Ram to any and all if you don't want a CAI. I picked it because it looks better than a CAI, easier filter maitanence, and I don't have to worry about water at all (even though you have to worry about it almost never with a CAI). So far, it has NOT thrown any CEL on for me, and the engine is running beautifully!As for cost, I got it from AJUSA.com (K&N Dealer site that I got from the K&N webpage) and it set me back roughly $230.Money well spent. The install took under an hour, directions aren't that hard to understand either. Intake + Groundwires = best $$$ I've spent on the car's performance so far! :D
