COBB Redline Carbon Fiber Intake 2008-2014 WRX / 2008-2014 STI | 2x2 Twill Carbon Fiber | High-Flow Performance Intake
Overview
The COBB Redline Carbon Fiber Intake is a premium performance upgrade designed specifically for the 2008-2014 Subaru WRX and WRX STI models. This intake system replaces the restrictive factory airbox with a lightweight, high-flow carbon fiber assembly that enhances airflow and engine response while adding a striking visual upgrade to your engine bay. Ideal for Subaru enthusiasts seeking both performance gains and refined aesthetics, this intake is engineered to complement COBB’s tuning ecosystem and support increased power potential.
Crafted from multiple layers of 2x2 twill carbon fiber, the Redline Intake features a high-quality gloss clear coat finish that resists heat and UV fading, ensuring durability and long-lasting appeal. The design incorporates a bespoke black COBB Redline badge and an integrated carbon fiber scoop that optimizes air capture. The intake’s velocity stack MAF housing, combined with a unique airflow straightener grid, minimizes turbulence and delivers precise mass airflow sensor readings for consistent tuning results.
Beyond its visual appeal, this intake system offers a 35% larger pre-oiled filter compared to COBB’s standard SF Intake, improving filtration and airflow for better throttle response and potential power gains. While compatible with COBB Off The Shelf maps designed for the SF Intake, this system requires custom charge piping when paired with certain intercooler kits. The Redline Carbon Fiber Intake elevates the Subaru ownership experience by blending performance, style, and reliable fitment into one comprehensive package.
