This system features a free-flowing mandrel-bent aluminum tube that is engineered to boost horsepower and torque while providing improved throttle response. Plus, it maintains a safe air-fuel ratio, ensuring your engine runs optimally.
The included heat shield is a game changer, maximizing cooling efficiency and protecting your intake from heat soak. Unlike cold air intakes, which can be problematic in wet conditions, the HPS short ram intake is designed for convenience, making it a reliable choice even on rainy days when water intrusion is a concern.
Worried about installation? Don’t be. The HPS short ram intake kit comes with a detailed manual featuring clear pictures and step-by-step instructions. This kit is truly a bolt-on solution—no modifications are required, and it won’t trigger a check engine light (CEL). It’s a straightforward upgrade that even DIY enthusiasts can tackle with confidence.
Constructed from lightweight mandrel-bent aluminum alloy, this intake system replaces the restrictive factory air box, optimizing airflow and enhancing heat dissipation. The HPS signature reinforced silicone hoses and industrial-grade 100% stainless steel T-bolt clamps ensure reliability, even in extreme driving conditions. Plus, the high-flow air filter is washable and reusable, making maintenance a breeze.
One Toyota Matrix owner shared, "After installing the HPS short ram intake, I immediately felt a difference in throttle response. It was a breeze to install, and the sound it produces is definitely a nice touch. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to get more out of their Matrix!"
Upgrade your 2009-2013 Toyota Matrix 2.4L with the HPS Performance 827-501WB Short Ram Air Intake and experience the difference in performance and drivability. This is not just an enhancement; it's a step towards a more engaging driving experience.
