Mishimoto MMAI-STI-15WRD Wrinkle Red Cold Air Intake for 2015–2017 Subaru WRX STI

The Mishimoto MMAI-STI-15WRD Cold Air Intake System in Wrinkle Red is designed to deliver proven performance gains, enhanced airflow, and a deeper, more aggressive induction sound for the 2015–2017 Subaru WRX STI. Engineered specifically for the EJ257 platform, this intake replaces the restrictive factory airbox with a high-flow system that works safely with the stock ECU tune.

Extensive testing and development allow this intake to produce dyno-proven increases of up to 20 whp and 18 wtq. The mandrel-bent aluminum intake pipe provides smooth airflow, while the CNC-machined MAF housing and integrated air straightener ensure accurate sensor readings and consistent power delivery across the RPM range.

To help maintain lower intake temperatures, the oiled high-flow air filter is positioned outside the engine bay, and the included heat shield prevents heat-soak. The washable, reusable air filter offers 16% more surface area for increased airflow and filtration efficiency. The wrinkle red finish adds a bold visual upgrade to the STI engine bay, while the included sound generator cap cleans up the factory intake routing.

This kit installs in under an hour using basic tools and includes all necessary hardware, couplers, and mounting components. Designed in Delaware and supported by the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty, this intake is a reliable, high-quality performance upgrade.
