K&N Typhoon Cold-Air Intake System

2004–2006 Scion xB Base

69-8605TS

Overview:

The K&N Typhoon cold-air intake system is a high-performance upgrade designed specifically for the 2004 to 2006 Scion xB Base models. This intake replaces the restrictive factory air filter and intake housing with a free-flowing, mandrel-bent aluminum tube and a high-flow air filter. By drawing in cooler, denser air from outside the engine bay, it improves airflow and reduces intake restrictions, allowing your engine to breathe more efficiently.

Ideal for daily drivers and performance enthusiasts alike, the Typhoon intake enhances throttle response, acceleration, and overall engine performance throughout the RPM range. Its durable construction and easy installation make it a practical upgrade for those seeking reliable power gains without complicated modifications.

Key Features:

This intake system combines advanced design and quality materials to deliver improved engine breathing and performance.

• Mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube with a silver powder coat finish for durability and corrosion resistance
• Oversized cone-shaped K&N high-flow air filter with a black rubber top for superior sealing and airflow
• Blue water-repellent DryCharger filter wrap protects the filter from moisture and contaminants
• Designed to pull cooler outside air from the driver side wheel well, reducing intake air temperatures
• Reduces airflow restriction by smoothing and straightening airflow into the throttle body
• Supports increased horsepower and acceleration across the engine’s RPM range
• Reusable air filter with service intervals up to 100,000 miles depending on driving conditions
• Backed by K&N’s No-Hassle Lifetime Limited Warranty and Million Mile Limited Warranty

Construction & Design:

The Typhoon intake features a mandrel-bent aluminum tube that ensures smooth, unrestricted airflow with minimal turbulence. The silver powder coat finish not only enhances the intake’s appearance but also provides resistance against corrosion and heat. The intake tube’s design directs air from a cooler location near the driver side wheel well, helping to reduce intake air temperatures compared to the factory setup.

The included K&N air filter is engineered with a durable black rubber top and an oversized cone shape to maximize airflow. The DryCharger wrap adds an extra layer of protection against moisture, extending filter life and maintaining performance in various weather conditions.

Installation & Fitment:

The K&N Typhoon cold-air intake is designed for a straightforward, bolt-on installation that typically takes 90 minutes or less. It replaces the factory air filter and intake housing without requiring cutting, drilling, or special tuning. The system uses existing mounting points and OEM air inlets to ensure a secure and proper fit.

• Direct fit for 2004–2006 Scion xB Base models
• No cutting, drilling, or special tuning required
