The COBB SF Intake System is a proven short ram intake solution designed to improve airflow, throttle response, and turbo sound while maintaining excellent drivability and tuning consistency.
The SF Intake features a high-flow intake tube paired with a custom-designed air filter and an enclosed airbox. This design helps manage intake air temperatures more effectively than open short ram intakes, reducing heat soak and maintaining stable performance in real-world driving conditions.
Developed by COBB Tuning, the SF Intake System is engineered to work seamlessly with COBB Accessport calibrations, making it an ideal upgrade for stock vehicles and Stage 1 builds. The system delivers faster turbo response and a noticeable yet controlled induction sound without sacrificing reliability or daily usability.
This intake is built for enthusiasts who want dependable performance gains, straightforward installation, and strong tuning support.
