The K&N 69-1016-1TS is a 69 Series Typhoon cold air intake built for the 2007-2008 Honda Fit with the 1.5-liter L4 engine. It replaces the factory air filter and intake housing with a mandrel-bent aluminum tube in textured silver powder coat, paired with a larger conical filter that sits in the space the stock airbox occupied. That layout is the main reason to choose it over the stock airbox or a generic drop-in filter: the filter gets more surface area, and the tube smooths the path to the throttle body. The intake was shaped around the Fit's engine bay, and the factory intake air temperature sensor is integrated into the design, so you are not swapping the sensor setup.
The filter is a washable, reusable oiled-cotton element rather than a disposable paper filter, which lowers long-term cost. The manufacturer backs the kit with a No-Hassle Lifetime Limited warranty and lists a CARB Executive Order (D-269-37), stating it is legal for use in all 50 states. Horsepower and torque gains are estimates, and the manufacturer's published figures are not consistent across its materials, so confirm current numbers before buying.

Yes. The manufacturer states the Typhoon kit replaces the factory air filter and air intake housing, and the heat shield installs into the space the original airbox occupied.
The kit includes a K&N RU-5163 high-flow filter made of oiled cotton gauze. The manufacturer describes it as washable and reusable, so you clean and re-oil it rather than replacing it.
The manufacturer says the Typhoon intake typically takes about an hour with simple hand tools, using the Fit's existing mounting points. Its general cold air intake guidance calls for disconnecting the battery's negative cable first, then unplugging the mass air flow sensor and the EVAP and crankcase vent lines before loosening the clamps and removing the stock tube. The mass air flow sensor moves into the K&N adapter, with the provided gasket, and the vent lines reconnect to fittings on the new tube. Expect the sensor and vent-line disconnects to take the most time, and use the included clamps and coupler at the throttle body and filter adapter. Always follow the instruction sheet for your specific part number.
