If you're looking to give your 2012-2017 Subaru Legacy 2.5L Non Turbo a little extra pep in its step, the HPS Red short ram air intake is a solid choice. This isn't just any air intake; it's got a 2.75" mandrel-bent aluminum tube that really opens up airflow. We're talking about an impressive +8.5 Whp and +8.3 Ft/lbs of torque—those numbers are not just for show. Plus, you’ll notice a snappier throttle response, which is always a win in my book.

One of the standout features is the heavy-duty, powder-coated steel heat shield that comes with it. This bad boy keeps engine heat at bay, ensuring cooler air gets into your engine. Unlike cold air intakes that can be a hassle in wet weather, this short ram setup is designed for those rainy days when you don’t want to risk water getting sucked in. It's all about practicality without sacrificing performance.

Installation? A breeze. The kit comes with clear instructions and all the mounting hardware you need. No tuning required, and you won't be staring at a check engine light after you’re done. Just swap out the stock air box for this lightweight aluminum piping, and you’re good to go. It's built to last, too, thanks to HPS's reinforced silicone hoses and stainless steel T-bolt clamps that hold everything tight, even when you're pushing it to the limit.

And let’s not forget the HPS Performance Air Filter. It’s washable and reusable, giving you great filtration without choking off airflow. All of this is made right here in the USA and comes with a one-year limited warranty, so you know you're getting quality.

Just a heads-up: this setup isn’t CARB compliant, so keep that in mind if you’re in a state with strict emissions regulations. It’s specifically made for the Legacy, but if you have a 2016-2017 Subaru Crosstrek, a 2011-2018 Forester, or a 2012-2016 Impreza, you’re in luck—this air intake fits those models too.
