The K&N Typhoon Performance Air Intake System is designed to increase horsepower, torque, airflow, and induction sound on the 2022–2026 Toyota GR86 and Subaru BRZ 2.4L. This system replaces the factory air filter and intake tube with a mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube and oversized oiled cotton air filter engineered for high airflow and strong filtration.
