The K&N 69-3533TTK is a Typhoon cold air intake from K&N's 69 Series, built for the 2.5L four-cylinder fuel-injected Ford Fusion. It replaces the factory airbox and intake tube with a mandrel-bent aluminum tube finished in black powder coat, paired with a washable, oiled cotton filter. The manufacturer describes a guaranteed horsepower and torque increase, but owners on user forums are skeptical, noting that the stock Fusion snorkel already draws in plenty of air and that many aftermarket intakes pull in warmer engine-bay air. Buy this kit for the smoother intake path, the reusable filter, and the sound, not as a guaranteed power upgrade.
Compared with the stock airbox, this system is built to reduce restriction between the filter and throttle body. Against cheaper universal intakes, the mandrel-bent tube and round 2.75-inch filter outlet are designed to fit this specific engine bay. The manufacturer lists an estimated 6.7 HP gain at 5929 RPM and 7.4 lb-ft of torque. Fitment is listed for 2013 through 2019 Fusions, but listings vary on model-year coverage, so confirm your VIN with the manufacturer before ordering.

Yes. The manufacturer describes an oversized, oiled cotton air filter, and it lists RU-9350 as the replacement filter number for this system.
The manufacturer states an estimated gain of 6.7 HP and 7.4 lb-ft of torque. User forums disagree, arguing the factory intake is already efficient and that aftermarket intakes often draw warmer air, so results may be small. Details vary, so confirm expectations with the manufacturer.
Owners report this is a manageable driveway job, though one owner's install took about two hours, mostly because of the mass airflow sensor and vacuum connections. Disconnect the sensor and vacuum lines carefully, then remove the factory airbox and tube. The new tube attaches to the throttle body through a rubber coupler secured with hose clamps. Gaskets seal the tube, heat shield, and filter adapter, and the heat shield mounts with two screws into the factory tray holes. Reconnect the sensor and vacuum lines, then start the engine and check for vacuum leaks and warning lights. Have your tools ready before starting, since owners report repeated trips for missing tools.
