K&N 04-06 Subaru Forester XT F4-2.5L Silver Typhoon Short Ram Intake

This K&N Typhoon Short Ram Intake system is built for your 2004-2006 Subaru Forester XT with the F4-2.5L engine. When you install this kit, you get the K&N High-Flow Air Filter, a mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube, and a custom heat shield designed to keep engine bay heat away from the incoming air. This setup is engineered to help your engine breathe easier, which can lead to a noticeable increase in horsepower and torque.

The intake tube is made from aluminum and is mandrel-bent, meaning it has smooth, consistent bends for better airflow compared to tubes with sharp angles. The included K&N High-Flow Air Filter is washable and reusable, and it uses oiled cotton filter media to capture dirt while letting air pass through freely. K&N states you can go up to 100,000 miles between servicing the filter under normal highway driving conditions. The system also comes with a custom heat shield or air box to help isolate the intake air from the hot engine bay, which is crucial for maintaining the performance gains. Installation is typically straightforward and can often be completed in under 90 minutes.

This intake system is backed by K&N's Million Mile Limited Warranty, and it's designed to not void your vehicle's factory warranty. Remember to check the product specifications for CARB status if you are in California, as some performance intakes are not street legal there.
