K&N Typhoon Short Ram Intake
2004–2006 Scion xA Base
69-8606TB
Overview:
The K&N Typhoon Short Ram Intake is a high-performance cold-air intake system designed specifically for the 2004 to 2006 Scion xA Base models. This intake replaces the factory air filter and restrictive air intake housing with a free-flowing, mandrel-bent aluminum tube and a high-flow air filter. It is engineered to increase airflow to your engine, allowing it to breathe more efficiently and deliver improved power and acceleration across the RPM range.
Ideal for daily drivers and performance enthusiasts alike, the Typhoon intake enhances throttle response and engine sound while maintaining reliable operation. Its design helps your vehicle achieve better performance without sacrificing drivability or requiring extensive modifications.
Key Features:
The K&N Typhoon Short Ram Intake offers a range of features that improve airflow and durability:
- Mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube with a durable blue powder coat finish for corrosion resistance and a sleek appearance.
- High-flow, oversized cone-shaped air filter with a black rubber top for a secure seal and optimal airflow.
- Water-repellent DryCharger filter wrap protects the air filter from moisture, extending filter life and maintaining performance in wet conditions.
- Designed to replace the factory air filter and intake housing, dramatically reducing airflow restriction by smoothing and straightening air flow.
- Mounts near the driver-side wheel well to draw in cooler outside air, improving combustion efficiency.
- Reusable air filter capable of lasting up to 100,000 miles before servicing, depending on driving conditions.
- Guaranteed power gain over the factory intake system, enhancing acceleration and throttle response.
Construction & Design:
The intake system features a mandrel-bent aluminum tube that ensures smooth, unrestricted airflow to the engine’s throttle body. The aluminum construction offers lightweight durability and excellent heat dissipation, helping to reduce intake air temperatures. The blue powder coat finish not only protects the tube from corrosion but also adds a clean, performance-oriented look under the hood.
The oversized cone filter is designed for maximum surface area, allowing your engine to inhale a larger volume of air. The DryCharger wrap adds an extra layer of protection against moisture, which is especially beneficial in wet or humid environments.
