The K&N 69 - 6000TP Typhoon air intake system is a high - performance air induction solution crafted for select Mazda Miata and MX - 5 models. It replaces the restrictive factory air filter and housing, slashing air flow restrictions by smoothing and straightening the air flow. This enables your engine to suck in more air than the factory setup, delivering a significant boost in usable power and acceleration across the RPM range. The intake comes with a black rubber - topped K&N high - flow air filter that fits neatly into the old air box space. Air travels through the intake tube to the engine's throttle body, guaranteeing a power increase. The intake tube has a long - lasting, chrome - like finish and can accommodate the factory mass air sensor, air temperature sensor, and crank case vent hose. The large cone - shaped air filter can go up to 100,000 miles before servicing, depending on your driving conditions. Installation is a breeze, usually taking 90 minutes or less using existing factory mounting points. Note that some Typhoon air intakes aren't legal for sale or use in California and states following its emission standards, while others are CARB - exempt and legal in all 50 states. Check the K&N catalog or website for your vehicle's application and specific CARB status.
