Hey there, fellow gearheads! If you’re looking to give your 2008-2014 Subaru WRX STI a serious boost, let me tell you about the HPS Black Cold Air Intake Kit. This isn’t just some run-of-the-mill upgrade; it’s designed for both performance and show, and it really delivers.

So, what makes this kit stand out? For starters, it relocates the HPS Performance Air Filter outside the engine compartment. This means you’re pulling in cooler air, which is crucial for getting the most out of that turbocharged 2.5L engine. Cooler air equals more oxygen, and more oxygen means a more explosive combustion. We’re talking about some solid dyno-proven gains here—like +27.1 Whp and +26.8 Ft/lbs of torque. Plus, you’ll notice a snappier throttle response, which is always a win.

Installation is straightforward, thanks to the included manual that’s packed with clear pictures and instructions. You won’t need to tune your engine after the install, which is a huge plus for those who want to keep things simple. Just a heads up, though: you will need to remove the front bumper to get everything in place. But once it’s on, you’ll be riding high with a setup that clears 35s on a 2024 Tundra with just a bit of trimming.

The kit features lightweight mandrel-bent aluminum alloy tubing that replaces the stock restrictive air box, optimizing airflow and ensuring excellent heat dissipation. The HPS signature reinforced silicone hoses and industrial-grade stainless steel T-bolt clamps are built to last, even if you’re pushing your car to the limits. And let’s not forget about the air filter—it’s washable and reusable, so you won’t have to keep shelling out cash for replacements.

Just a quick note: this setup isn’t CARB compliant, so keep that in mind if you’re in a state with strict emissions regulations. But if you’re all about performance and aesthetics, this intake kit is a fantastic addition to your WRX or STI.
