K&N Typhoon Intake Kit

who woulda thought the sound difference it makes over stock. holy cow! sure i read about it making a huge difference but jesus, it almost sounds turbocharged aside from the tell-tail blow off noise. nice little pep to the car too. im not trying to sell the part or anything just wanted to say "look at me " so to speak. but yeah, didnt make a bit of difference in first gear, but she pulls more in 2nd and 3rd. good investment. ok here is a question just cause i thought of it half way through this post. i have every intention of putting on a header, and i know i need poly mount to prevent exhaust flex. my question, on a 2005 2.2 eco how many mounts are there? i know of the upper and lower and trany, i was making sure there arent any others. also, anyone done this? i mean all 3 mounts, does it cause the rattling like just the upper? or is it secured. no i havent done this before and dont have too much of a clue what im talking about, so any information helps and bashing just isnt cool :P. thanks in advance guys

Upper, Lower, tranny mounts are not needed per say for a new header. Since there aren't any stiffer mounts for auto trannys that i know of, i am going to assume you have a manual. Your car should have little vibs if at all any since manuals idle at a higher speed than autos. I have the upper and lower mounts in my car and i have vibs yet, but they are not bad. First week is usually the worst till they break in.

thanks for the info. btw, did you install them yourself or have someone else do it? how long did it take you?

Probably 15 min tops for both. Your Upper engine mount for the ecotec is going to be almost 8X what i paid for my upper incert. CHeapest i have seen the upper one for the ecotec is somwhere near 125 bucks, and the lower is the same from 95-05 which runs around 40-45 bucks. Lower one should take about 5 min. Remove 2 bolts and swap the new one in. Upper mounts involes gettin the coolant resovoir out of the way.
