The K&N 69 - 6000TR Typhoon air intake system is a top - notch, free - flowing air induction system crafted from mandrel - bent aluminum tube. It's custom - designed to fit select Mazda Miata and MX - 5 models. By replacing the restrictive factory air filter and intake housing, this Typhoon intake significantly cuts down air flow restriction. It smooths and straightens the air flow, enabling your engine to suck in more air compared to the factory setup. More air equals more usable power and better acceleration across the engine's RPM range. The 69 - 6000TR comes with a K&N high - flow air filter with a black rubber top, which fits right into the old air box space. Air is funneled through the intake tube into the engine's throttle body, guaranteeing a power boost. The intake tube sports an eye - catching red powder - coat finish that's built to last. It also accommodates the factory mass air sensor, air temperature sensor, and crank case vent hose. The oversized 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 other states with California emission standards, while others are CARB exempt and legal in all 50 states. Check the K&N catalog or website for vehicle applications and specific CARB status for each vehicle and air intake.
