When it comes to performance upgrades for your Subaru, you want something that really delivers, right? Well, let me tell you about this intake system that’s been a game-changer for my ride. After years of waiting for a solid intake solution, the folks behind this product have finally nailed it. They didn’t just throw something together; they took the time to really dig into what’s out there, pinpointing the flaws in existing options. And trust me, they’ve come up with something special for the 2008-2014 Subaru WRX and STI, along with the 2009-2013 Forester XT.

So, what’s the deal with this intake? First off, it's got this hybrid design that blends the best of cold air and short ram intakes. That means you get the cool air benefits without the usual downsides. The air straightener is a nice touch too; it’s designed to mimic the factory setup, which is crucial for accurate MAF sensor readings. Plus, the MAF sensor itself is tucked away inside a heat shield, keeping it safe from all that engine bay heat that can mess with performance.

One of the standout features is the custom reusable high-flow air filter. It’s not just any filter; it comes with a velocity stack entrance that really smooths out the incoming air, giving your engine the airflow it craves. And let’s not forget, it’s made right here in the USA, so you know you’re getting quality.

Installation? Super straightforward. You can have it up and running in about 30 minutes, thanks to the clear written and video guides they provide. Just a heads-up though: you will need to do some tuning, as it’s not compatible with the factory tune or any off-the-shelf maps.

Here’s what you get in the box:

  • 1x Intake Tube
  • 1x High-flow Dry Filter
  • 1x Hump Hose Connector
  • 1x Heat Shield Assembly
  • 3x Hose Clamps
  • 2x MAF Flange Screws
  • 3x Precut Rubber Sealing Strip
  • 1x MAF Wire Grommet

And just to be clear on fitment, this intake is designed for:

  • Subaru WRX 2008-2014
  • Subaru STI 2008-2014
  • Subaru Forester XT 2009-2013

If you’re looking to boost your Subaru’s performance and sound, this intake is definitely worth considering. It’s not just another part; it’s a step towards unlocking your car’s true potential.
