The AEM 21-772C cold air intake replaces the restrictive factory air filter and intake housing on specific Subaru Impreza, Crosstrek, and XV Crosstrek models with a system engineered, tuned, and dyno-tested for horsepower and torque gains. Air is drawn through an oversized AEM Dryflow synthetic washable filter mounted in the stock air box location and shielded from underhood heat, while a mandrel-bent aluminum tube finished in gunmetal gray powder coat routes air to the throttle body. The system retains the factory mass airflow sensor for an easy installation with common hand tools.
