Description
The Mishimoto MMAI-WRX-22MWBK Performance Air Intake (part number MMAF-3007 for the filter) is a purpose-built cold air intake engineered specifically for the 2022+ Subaru WRX and its FA24 engine. Rather than a universal air intake filter dropped into a generic housing, this system pairs a precision CNC-machined MAF sensor housing with a mandrel-bent aluminum inlet pipe, delivering a dyno-proven 75.4-percent reduction in air restriction versus the stock setup.
As one of the most common first upgrades for enthusiasts, a cold air intake system is designed to let an engine breathe easier, and this Mishimoto air intake does exactly that. By replacing the restrictive factory air intake filter with a high-flow, oiled multi-layered cotton performance filter and housing it in a powder-coated steel airbox, this cold air intake filter setup increases air volume while shielding the intake tract from underhood heat. The CNC-machined MAF housing maintains accurate MAF readings and safe air-fuel ratios, so this intake filter upgrade is dyno-tested to work on stock tune without requiring any additional tuning. Drivers can expect gains of up to 13.3 HP and 16.6 lb-ft of torque along with a more aggressive intake tone under acceleration.
Vehicle Applications
This Mishimoto cold air intake is a direct fit for the 2022+ Subaru WRX equipped with the FA24 engine. Coverage includes the WRX Base for model years 2022–2024; the GT, Limited, Premium, Sport, and Sport-tech trims for 2022–2026; and the High, Series.Yellow, Sportwagon, TS, and tS Performance trims for the 2026 model year.

Frequently Asked Questions
What vehicles does this Mishimoto air intake fit?
This intake is a direct fit for the 2022+ Subaru WRX with the FA24 engine, covering the WRX Base (2022–2024), the GT, Limited, Premium, Sport, and Sport-tech trims (2022–2026), and the High, Series.Yellow, Sportwagon, TS, and tS Performance trims (2026).
How much power does this cold air intake add?
Mishimoto reports dyno-proven gains of up to 13.3 HP and 16.6 lb-ft of torque on stock tune, along with a 75.4-percent reduction in air restriction compared to the stock intake.
Do I need to retune my WRX after installing this intake?
No. This intake is dyno-tested to maintain safe air-fuel ratios on stock tune, eliminating the need for a tune after installation.
What type of air filter does this intake use, and is it reusable?
It uses a Mishimoto high-flow, oiled performance filter made of multi-layered cotton (part number MMAF-3007, filter diameter 5.875 inches) that is completely serviceable and can be cleaned and re-oiled for continued use.
How often should I clean and re-oil the air filter?
Mishimoto recommends cleaning and re-oiling the oiled air filter every 10,000–15,000 miles during normal driving, and inspecting/servicing it more often if you frequently drive in dusty or off-road conditions. Filter re-oil is not included in the Lifetime Warranty.
What is included in the kit?
The kit includes one aluminum intake pipe, one CNC-machined aluminum MAF sensor housing, one high-flow oiled filter, one powder-coated airbox, one silicone coupler, three worm gear clamps, mounting hardware, and the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty.
