The K&N 69-8010TTK is a Typhoon cold-air intake for the 2.0L H4 fuel-injected engine in the Subaru Impreza. Per the manufacturer, it uses a mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube paired with an oversized cotton gauze filter (RU-4960XD replacement), which replaces the factory airbox and intake tube with a larger, smoother induction path. The manufacturer's estimated gains are 5.22 hp at 4,683 RPM and 3.6 lb-ft of torque. Those are estimates, not dyno-guaranteed results, but they give a buyer a concrete baseline. The kit's appeal over a generic plastic-tube intake is its aluminum construction, black powder-coated finish, and K&N's filter design, which together support durability and a cleaner engine-bay look for enthusiasts searching for a mandrel-bent aluminum cold air intake for a Subaru Impreza 2.0L H4.
Fitment is the first thing to verify. The manufacturer lists this kit for the 2017-2023 Impreza with the 2.0L H4 F/I engine, but sources differ on year range and some list Crosstrek applications, so confirm your exact VIN and model year with the manufacturer before ordering. The kit is not CARB legal and is not for sale or use in California on pollution-controlled vehicles. Because the intake replaces the factory air filter housing and tube, plan for a longer, more involved install than a simple filter swap, and keep the mass airflow sensor and crankcase vent hose connections in mind. Search terms this kit matches include 2017 2018 Subaru Impreza 2.0L cold air intake, 69-8010TTK Typhoon intake, and K&N RU-4960XD replacement filter.
