The K&N 69-6030-1TFK Typhoon air intake system is a high-performance air induction system designed to enhance airflow and power output in select Mazda RX-8 models. By replacing the restrictive factory air filter and air intake housing, the K&N Typhoon system provides a more efficient path for air to enter the engine. The system features a mandrel-bent aluminum tube, a high-flow air filter encased in a lightweight carbon fiber housing, and a heat shield to optimize air intake efficiency. This design allows for increased air flow, resulting in improved power and acceleration throughout the engine's RPM range. The intake tube is finished in a durable flat black coating and accommodates the factory mass air sensor, air straightener, and vent lines. The K&N air filter is designed for long-lasting performance, requiring servicing only after approximately 100,000 miles under typical driving conditions. Installation is generally straightforward, taking around 90 minutes or less using existing factory mounting points. Please note that the legality of this air intake system may vary depending on local emissions regulations. It is recommended to consult the K&N catalog or website for specific vehicle applications and CARB status.
