The COBB Turbo Inlet V2 is a game - changer for your Subaru. It replaces the factory 'accordion - style' hose, which can create turbulence in the intake tract. By increasing the inlet's efficiency, it reduces engine stress, allowing your engine to breathe more easily through a high - flowing intake path.
**Fitment**: This inlet is perfect for 2008 - 2014 Subaru WRX, 2005 - 2009 Subaru Legacy GT, and 2005 - 2009 Subaru Outback XT models.
**Features**:
- Crafted from 5 - Ply Silicone in Stealth Black, it's both stylish and durable.
- With a larger diameter, it can deliver more air to the turbo, potentially boosting performance.
- You'll notice an increase in horsepower, a decrease in turbo spool time, and improved throttle response and acceleration.
- It's a direct OEM replacement, which simplifies the installation process.
- Designed for standard 2.4' sized inlets on the turbo.
- Although installation is a bit challenging, an installation guide is provided.
- Tuning is required for optimal performance.
The custom silicone construction resists high engine bay temperatures, keeping the intake air close to ambient temperature. The steel - wire reinforced design prevents hose collapse under vacuum, while still allowing enough flexibility between the engine and the intake. The V2 Inlet has been updated for easier installation. It features machined billet aluminum adapters for the Post - MAF hose and BPV return, ensuring a more secure fit. The new fittings make the installation cleaner and stop them from protruding into the inlet airway. Also, the overall path of the inlet tube has been adjusted to fit better around TGV Housings and simplify installation.
Using the COBB Turbo Inlet V2 is straightforward. First, make sure to follow the included installation guide carefully. Since the installation is a bit difficult, if you're not experienced with car parts installation, it's a good idea to get help from a professional. Once installed, your car will benefit from better airflow and performance.
When it comes to maintenance, regularly check the silicone hose for any signs of wear or damage. If you notice any cracks or tears, replace the hose immediately. The steel - wire reinforcement should also be inspected to ensure it's in good condition.
Remember, this product requires tuning. So, after installation, take your car to a trusted mechanic or tuning shop to get it properly tuned. This will ensure you get the most out of your new turbo inlet and keep your engine running smoothly.
