K&N Performance Intake Kit TYPHOON; CHRYSLER PT-CRUISER GT, 2003; BLUE

The K&N 69-2541TB Typhoon air intake system is a top - notch free - flowing, mandrel - bent aluminum tube air induction system. It's specifically designed to fit various Chrysler PT Cruiser models from 2003 to 2008. By replacing the restrictive factory air filter and housing, it dramatically cuts down air flow restriction, smoothing and straightening the air flow. This allows your engine to suck in more air, resulting in more usable power and better acceleration across the RPM range. The intake comes with a rubber - topped K&N high - flow air filter that fits into the old air box space. Air is directed through the intake tube into the turbocharger inlet, guaranteeing a power boost. The intake tube has a durable blue powder - coat finish and can accommodate the factory crank case vent hose and a replacement silicone vent hose. The oversized cone - shaped air filter can last up to 100,000 miles before servicing, depending on your driving conditions. It's relatively easy to install, 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 with similar emission standards, while others are CARB exempt and 50 - state legal. Check the K&N catalog or website for specific vehicle applications and CARB status.

Using this K&N Typhoon air intake is simple. First, gather the necessary tools and find a suitable workspace. You'll use the existing factory mounting points to install the intake, which usually takes about 90 minutes or less. Make sure to connect the intake tube properly to the turbocharger inlet and the vent hoses. As for maintenance, the oversized cone - shaped air filter can go up to 100,000 miles before needing service, but this depends on your driving conditions. If you drive in dusty or dirty areas, you may need to check it more often. When servicing the filter, follow the instructions in the K&N manual. Also, always check the K&N catalog or website to ensure your vehicle is compatible and to know the specific CARB status for your area, as some air intakes aren't legal in certain states.
