Overview: The 69 Series TyphoonTM Air Intake System includes a free flowing mandrel-bent aluminum tube and airbox assembly. Typhoon intake tubes have a durable powdercoat finish. Fitment is exceptional, while pricing is extremely competitive.
Analysis: This intake system works very well from 6,500 RPM to redline. Lower RPM operation doesn’t allow the system to outperform the factory airbox.
