Also, the metal drilling and cutting is first rate-from the black-coated aluminum intake tube, to each bracket.

First, it includes nylon lock nuts for all of its bolts, ensuring a long-lasting hold. K&N has added a few nice touches to this kit. You'll want to follow those instructions carefully, as there are a surprising number of parts to this intake, when you include all of the brackets, nuts, bolts, washers, etc. The kit includes instructions with a useful exploded view of the system, a listing of parts (with part numbers and description), and step-by-step installation instructions. Everything is packaged nicely the parts are of high quality metals and many parts even have part numbers stamped onto them to avoid confusion during installation. Speaking of power, K&N claims 4.56 more horsepower than with the stock intake they also include a dyno graph.įrom the get go, you can tell this is a well-made, well-thought-out unit. See, unlike most other intake systems for the Yaris, K&N's Typhoon employs a metal heat shield designed to keep power-robbing warm air away from the filter. However, I've been curious about this specific Yaris intake for some time. I'd installed a K&N AirChrager Intake Kit on my dad's 2006 Corvette last summer. I know K&N makes great products-I've been using their air filters for years (my Yaris actually had a K&N panel filter before this install). Recently, I received a K&N Typhoon Air Intake System for my 2007 Yaris from Truck Champ Truck Accessories (yes, they sell parts for all kinds of vehicles, not just trucks). It allows the car to breathe better and, in theory, make more power. An air intake system is a great modification to nearly any vehicle.
