K&N 18-19 Subaru WRX 2.0L Turbo Typhoon Air Intake

K&N Engineering is well-known for making performance air filters and intake systems that help engines breathe better. This Typhoon air intake system is built for your 2018-2020 Subaru WRX 2.0L Turbo. It replaces the factory air filter and intake housing, which can be pretty restrictive, with a free-flowing, mandrel-bent aluminum tube. This design smooths out the airflow, allowing your engine to take in more air, which translates to more usable power and better acceleration across the RPM range.

The intake tube itself has a tough, textured black powder-coated finish that looks good and is made to last. It's designed to work with your car's factory mass air sensor. You'll also notice a more aggressive and deeper engine sound when you accelerate. The kit includes a high-flow air filter with a black rubber top, and a heat shield that fits into the original air box location to help keep hot engine air away from the intake.

Installation is generally straightforward, often taking 90 minutes or less, using existing factory mounting points. You'll typically need basic tools like screwdrivers, a ratchet set, and wrenches. Keep in mind that this specific intake is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California or other states that follow California emissions standards.
