The K&N 69-5325TS is a 69 Series Typhoon cold air intake for the 2.0L four-cylinder in the 2019-2020 Hyundai Veloster. It replaces the factory air filter and intake tube with a mandrel-bent aluminum tube in a silver finish, paired with an oversized, oiled cotton gauze filter. K&N guarantees a horsepower and torque increase and estimates a gain of 9.7 HP at 6088 RPM. The reusable filter is washable, so you avoid replacement paper filters. Owners on user forums generally describe intake-only gains as modest and more noticeable alongside an exhaust or ECU tune, so treat this as a sound first bolt-on rather than a standalone power upgrade.
Fitment is aimed at the 2.0L L4 gas engine, so check the application list against your exact trim before ordering. The kit carries K&N's No-Hassle Lifetime Limited Warranty, and the manufacturer says the filter needs cleaning only about every 100,000 miles under normal highway driving. It is not legal for sale or use in California on pollution-controlled vehicles, so buyers in that state should look for a CARB-exempt option.

The manufacturer states it is not legal for sale or use in California on pollution-controlled vehicles. Confirm the CARB status for your specific vehicle with the manufacturer before purchasing.
The manufacturer says the oiled cotton filter only requires cleaning about every 100,000 miles under normal highway driving conditions. Harsher or dustier conditions will call for more frequent cleaning.
The manufacturer states a typical installation can be completed in 60 minutes or less with simple hand tools, and the system replaces the factory air filter and intake tube, so the stock airbox comes out first. Owners on user forums report that the job is manageable for a home mechanic, but the exact tool list and hardware steps should be confirmed against the manufacturer's installation sheet before you start.
