Description
The Mishimoto Performance Cold-Air Intake (MMAI-BRZ-13P) is a purpose-built air intake system engineered specifically around the FA20 and 4U-GSE platforms found in the Subaru BRZ, Scion FR-S, and Toyota 86. Built with a mandrel-bent aluminum intake pipe and a CNC-machined mass airflow housing, this cold air intake was developed to deliver a genuine bolt-on power increase without sacrificing accurate sensor readings or safe air/fuel ratios.
As a true cold air intake, this system relocates the filter outside the hot engine bay, pairing it with a powder-coated air diverter plate that routes cool ambient air to the radiator, AC condenser, and intake filter simultaneously. The included Mishimoto oiled air filter offers a 16-percent increase in filter surface area over the stock filter, allowing more airflow through the smooth, mandrel-bent aluminum piping while the air straightener keeps flow laminar across the MAF sensor. Drivers looking to upgrade their air intake filter setup will also notice a distinct improvement in intake tone, especially under full throttle, giving this cold air intake system a throatier, more aggressive note.
