The COBB Turbo Inlet V2 is a game - changer for your Subaru. It's designed to fit 2008 - 2014 Subaru WRX, 2005 - 2009 Subaru Legacy GT, and 2005 - 2009 Subaru Outback XT models. Say goodbye to the factory 'accordion - style' hose that creates turbulence in the intake tract. This turbo inlet boosts efficiency by providing a higher - flowing intake path, making it easier for your engine to breathe and reducing stress. Key features include a 5 - Ply Silicone construction in Stealth Black. The larger diameter allows more air to reach the turbo, increasing horsepower, decreasing turbo spool time, and improving throttle response and acceleration. It's a direct OEM replacement, designed for standard 2.4' sized inlets on the turbo. Installation is a bit tricky, but there's an installation guide to help you out. Tuning is also required. The custom silicone construction resists high engine bay temperatures, keeping intake air close to ambient. The steel wire - reinforced design prevents hose collapse under vacuum. The V2 Inlet has been updated for easier installation with machined billet aluminum adapters for the Post - MAF hose and BPV return, ensuring a more secure fit and a cleaner installation, while preventing fittings from getting in the way of the inlet airway. The inlet tube's path has also been adjusted to fit better around TGV Housings and simplify installation.
Using the COBB Turbo Inlet V2 is a great way to enhance your Subaru's performance. First, make sure you have the right tools and follow the installation guide carefully as it can be a bit difficult to install. Before starting, check that your vehicle is one of the compatible models: 2008 - 2014 Subaru WRX, 2005 - 2009 Subaru Legacy GT, or 2005 - 2009 Subaru Outback XT. After installation, you'll need to tune your vehicle to get the most out of the new inlet. As you drive, you'll notice improved acceleration and throttle response. When it comes to maintenance, keep an eye on the silicone hose. Check for any signs of wear or damage regularly, especially after long drives or in extreme weather conditions. If you see any issues, it's best to replace the hose right away. Also, make sure the steel wire reinforcement is in good shape. The billet aluminum adapters should be inspected for tightness to ensure a proper fit and prevent any air leaks. With proper use and maintenance, this turbo inlet will serve you well and keep your engine running smoothly.
