The K&N 69-9507TTK Typhoon air intake system is a free-flowing, mandrel-bent aluminum tube air induction system designed to fit some Volkswagen Jetta, Jetta GLi and Passat models. The restrictive factory air filter and air intake housing are replaced by the K&N Typhoon air intake which is designed to dramatically reduce air flow restriction as it smoothes and straightens air flow. This allows your engine to inhale a larger amount of air than the factory air intake. More air means more usable power and acceleration throughout the engine's RPM range. In addition to more power, this air intake system improves engine sound with more aggressive and deeper acoustics during acceleration. Included is a black rubber topped K&N high-flow air filter and a heat shield that installs into the original air box space. Air is directed through two coupled intake tubes into the engine's turbo inlet for a guaranteed power gain. The intake tubes have an attractive black powder-coated finish that's made to last and they accommodate the factory air injection hose and vacuum line. The oversized cone shaped air filter can be used for up to 100,000 miles before servicing is needed depending on driving conditions. This air intake is relatively easy to install usually in 90 minutes or less using existing factory mounting points. The tools needed are a screwdriver, ratchet set, pliers and several wrenches.
