The Mishimoto Performance Air Intake is designed to improve airflow efficiency, throttle response, and turbo sound on the 2015–2021 Subaru WRX while maintaining smooth daily drivability.
By reducing intake restriction compared to the factory system, this intake allows the turbocharger to breathe more freely, resulting in quicker throttle response and improved turbo spool. The design focuses on balanced performance, delivering noticeable gains without compromising reliability or drivability in everyday conditions.
Engineered and tested by Mishimoto, this intake system features durable intake piping and a high-flow air filter designed for consistent airflow and long service life. Under boost, expect a deeper, more pronounced induction sound, while normal driving remains controlled and refined.
Whether you’re upgrading from a stock intake or building toward future performance modifications, the Mishimoto Performance Air Intake is a solid foundation upgrade for the FA20-powered WRX.
