The aFe Takeda Momentum 56-70014D Cold Air Intake System with Pro DRY S filter is engineered to boost airflow, enhance throttle response, and deliver noticeable performance gains for the 2018–2021 Subaru WRX STI. Featuring a sealed XLPE polymer housing, a massive 7.5-inch oil-free air filter, and a dyno-tuned intake tube, this intake system is built for efficiency, simplicity, and everyday drivability.
With dyno-proven gains of up to 10 horsepower and 11 lb-ft of torque, plus 49% more airflow than the factory intake, the Momentum intake provides improved breathing for the EJ257 engine. The sealed one-piece housing incorporates a clear sight window for easy filter inspection and works with the included Dynamic Air Scoop and fender well inlet to draw in cool outside air.
The Pro DRY S filter offers maximum convenience with three layers of synthetic, oil-free media that deliver excellent filtration and long service intervals while requiring no oiling. Ideal for street and light off-road use, the large radial flow filter provides a high-flow design within a simple, easy-to-maintain package.
Designed for fast installation with minimal hardware, the Momentum system includes stainless steel clamps and silicone couplers. It installs in approximately 30 minutes and offers OEM-like fitment with high-quality construction throughout.
