Performance Air Intake for the 2015+ Subaru WRX Installation Video

[@lansonfloyd]

This has to be one of the best install videos I've ever seen, excellent production and overall presentation! Well, guess I'll be watching Mishimoto videos all damn night now (thanks, KZbin)

[@robbiexiong3508]

Thanks for the vid tutorial. Made my first time doing this a breeze. Super helpful and I absolutely love the hissing free air flow to the WRX turbine!

[@felixsandrino3380]

Intstalled this two weeks ago and it sounds amazing. And i feel the hp gain. One thing i was disappointed with is that the 90 degree coupler didnt fit properly with the bracket. The clearance was too small. I wish i can attach a picture so i can show what im talking about..

[@mikeprodanov7468]

Great information... particularly about the alignment of the intake boot on the bottom of the engine. Will be getting more Mishimoto parts.... 2018 WRX

[@chadwingard5524]

Thanks for the install video! Just got mine today :)

[@M4rc221]

Great video! I would like to know if you have to retune the car with this air intake? I have 94oct gas by my home. Thanks

[@clairvoyantdetails8423]

That looks so sexy inside the engine bay, way better looking that stock airbox and the ETS one (though I am not sure if they have a box) and I hate it when people put aftermarket intakes and you can see the rest of the frame >.>

[@mishimoto]

Robert Nguyen, CMA We are clad you like the design! Let us know if you have any questions! - Patrick M.

[@clairvoyantdetails8423]

I'd be all over this + tune if it wasn't for this thing we all know and love called the "War On Tea" I had question of fitment for the Mishimoto 2015 STI oil cooler, I got one BNIB in a trade, wanted to know if there was anything I could do to get it to fit anything other than the 2015 STI, because it does me no good on my 2015 WRX :( I posted this question on the oil cooler video as well..

[@scottsprague407]

Nice setup. When will this be available and for how much?

[@sinjitsu]

Does this installation void manufacturer warranty?

[@mishimoto]

We would suggest checking with the dealer who is offering the warranty for your vehicle.

[@edycaballero1037]

would this fit for a 2020 sti? if not.. can you send me a link of some that can fit my car. or nothing manufactured yet for a 2020??? thank you

[@mishimoto]

As of this current model year we have not been able to identify any changes that would cause our current intake to not work for the 2020 model year. You should be okay picking this up for you vehicle!

[@baradspogi]

Can i run my car without a tuning? Or accesport. ? Is it safe to put octane 91??

[@mishimoto]

+baradspogi please email [e-mail] - they will be more than happy to answer any technical questions! :)

[@ravinderbrar9065]

no

[@zclements09]

will the optional front splitter change the install any

[@Patrick_Felipe]

Will this fit the 2014 forester xt? Is it CARB approved?

Hey ever find out if it would fit the 2014 forester XT?

[@mishimoto]

Patrick Felipe It is certainly possible, however we have not been able to 100% confirm fitment. We need to bring in a FXT and check this one out! - Patrick M.

[@Monsters-bs1vm]

Do we need a tune with this air intake too? Thx

[@mishimoto]

A tune is not needed but you will want to use a minimum of 93 octane if the car is not being tuned.

[@Crlsprds]

Does this fit a 2019 wrx?

[@mishimoto]

This unfortunately will not fit the 2019 model due to some changes that affect the airbox fitment.

[@JoseHernandez-tz6xl]

Will this apply to my 14 forester xt also?

[@mishimoto]

This will not fit the Forester XT. Sorry!

[@johndavis5976]

This may be a dumb question but I just want to make sure I do everything the right way. I've been wanting to put your intake on my WRX. Once installed, will my car need a tune?

[@recordobell2615]

John Davis did you have to tune your car after installing ?

[@sawcytube]

Is there an OTS tune for this?

[@mishimoto]

Nothings we can offer, but you could try with some of the tuning companies and see what they offer.

[@Cincybrz74]

what kinda hp gains can I expect? ?

[@DLMedia0216]

This is a dumb question, Could it possibly install this set without lifting the car up?

[@MyFearEatsMe]

+DL Tips If you can fit haha

[@Cincybrz74]

on the stock 2016 wrx??

[@iamnasmalixi]

Will this fit on the 2018 wrx?

[@mishimoto]

Yes, this will fit a 2018 without any issues!

[@boomfricle9782]

What’s the air filter I’d, I need to get a new one

[@mishimoto]

You would be looking at a filter with an ID of 3". If you are looking at our filter it would be model MMAF-3006

[@DemonHunter_GTR]

Would this fit a 2016 subaru levorg?

[@mishimoto]

A lot of the front end parts for the Levorg are interchangeable with the WRX. However it would be best to compare your OEM parts to be sure.

[@nantalan8456]

Is it bad to use 92 octane when tuned for 91?

[@fartknocker7246]

+n antalan No. On the flip side, you probably won't see any noticeable improvement to performance either.

[@tunerlifestyle]

Does the WRX require a tune after the install

[@mishimoto]

Hey BLUU BOY! We do not recommend using this intake with 91 octane fuel and no tune. We recommend purchasing the www.mishimoto.com/tuning-kit.html tuning kit if you live in an area where only 91 octane is available. Using the intake with 91 octane and no tune may damage your engine. You can run the intake without a tune, but the gains are more than doubled with our tuning kit!

[@Adamzn6]

Mishimoto Automotive g'day mishimoto from Australia, was just wondering if 98 octane would be fine with this and also whether I would need to take the car to a professional tuner with the mishimoto tuning kit or if I could do it my self with the tunes provided. My mod list consists of; Mishimoto cat-back exhaust, Mishimoto CAI and soon to be a mishimoto tuner kit. Cheers lads

[@Brionesweekofeagles]

Is it worth getting the air box? If so, then why?

[@ravinderbrar9065]

yes cause it prevents it from sucking in hot engine air.

[@marinoint]

Despite the excellent installation instruction, the music at the beginning of the video is much louder than the presenter's voice, which is extremely annoying. I really love the Mishimoto videos, but please turn down the startup music, thank you!

[@Brionesweekofeagles]

Is it worth spending the extra hundred dollars

[@woohunter1]

valentino briones I can't believe it's even an option to get without box, otherwise it will be a hot air intake with a lot of knock.

[@kotskazki]

Hi good day. Can i use this on wrx CVT plus the access port? Thanks!

[@mishimoto]

Hi! Our intake is designed to fit all 2015+ Subaru WRX models with both manual and CVT transmissions. The Accessport will not impact fitment.

[@kotskazki]

That means i dont need to buy the accessport?

[@mishimoto]

Correct - we were able to maintain safe AFRs on the stock tune, so in essence, it's up to you! :)

[@kotskazki]

Thank you.

[@Cincybrz74]

what is the real world hp gains on stock car. No way is this thing gonna give me 20plus more hp...common.

[@MyFearEatsMe]

+phijef89 Around 5-6 hp gain

[@tonycristello8102]

Will this fit a 2021 WRX?

[@mishimoto]

Yes, this will fit the 2021 model year

[@rayanrashid7055]

will this fit the 2020 wrx?

[@mishimoto]

Yes, our intake should have no issues installing onto a 2020 model
