2011-2014 WRX Intake

Enhance Your 2011-2014 Subaru WRX with High-Performance Intake Upgrades

Optimizing the intake system on your 2011-2014 Subaru WRX is a smart way to improve airflow, throttle response, and overall engine efficiency. Whether you’re replacing aging factory parts or aiming for performance gains, the right intake components can unlock more power and deliver a more engaging driving experience.

What are the benefits of upgrading your intake on a 2011-2014 WRX?

Upgrading your WRX’s intake system improves the volume and quality of air entering the engine, which can enhance combustion efficiency and throttle response. This often results in a noticeable increase in horsepower and a more aggressive engine sound. Additionally, aftermarket intakes are typically designed with better materials and engineering to withstand heat and wear better than stock parts.

  • Improved airflow for better engine breathing
  • Enhanced throttle response and acceleration feel
  • Potential horsepower gains with supporting modifications
  • More aggressive and sporty engine sound
  • Durable construction for long-lasting performance

How do I choose the right intake for my Subaru WRX?

Selecting the right intake depends on your driving style, goals, and supporting modifications. Cold air intakes are popular for daily drivers seeking improved airflow and sound without complex installation. For more aggressive builds, high-flow filters and custom inlet pipes can further reduce restrictions. It’s important to consider fitment, MAF sensor compatibility, and whether your intake requires tuning to maximize gains.

Understanding intake tuning and supporting modifications

After upgrading your intake, proper tuning is often necessary to optimize air-fuel ratios and ensure reliable performance. Intake modifications can affect MAF sensor readings, so recalibrating your engine management system helps prevent drivability issues. Alongside intake upgrades, consider complementary parts like upgraded intercoolers or exhaust components to fully unlock your WRX’s potential.
