Description
The Mishimoto Subaru BRZ / Scion FR-S Performance Air Intake (MPN: MMAI-BRZ-13BBL) is a purpose-built air intake system engineered specifically for the FA20-powered BRZ and FR-S platform, delivering a bolt-on 7 whp / 5 wtq power increase without requiring front bumper removal. This particular kit ships with a blue silicone induction hose, pairing a smooth-flowing aluminum intake pipe with a CNC-machined mass airflow housing to help keep sensor readings accurate while unlocking additional airflow.
As a true cold air intake, this system replaces the factory intake filter setup with a fully serviceable Mishimoto oiled air filter that offers a 16-percent increase in filter surface area over the stock piece, translating into greater airflow and stronger filtration while maintaining safe air/fuel ratios throughout the powerband. The black powder-coated airbox shields the filter from hot engine bay air, so this air intake system stays cooler than an open-element cool air intake, while the smooth aluminum pipe and induction hose eliminate the restrictions of the stock intake filter housing. Drivers looking for an intake filter upgrade that also sharpens sound will notice a noticeably throatier intake tone under full throttle.
