Quality Carbon Fiber Air Intake Kit for Subaru Impreza 1.6 AWD

Give your naturally aspirated boxer engine the breathing room it deserves. The APD Apex Carbon Fiber Cold Air Intake System drops directly into your Subaru Impreza 1.6 AWD, replacing the restrictive factory plastic air box with a lightweight, aerodynamically optimized intake track. Utilizing authentic 3K twill carbon fiber, this kit doesn't just look the part—it serves as a highly effective heat barrier, ensuring that your engine inhales cooler, oxygen-rich air from outside the engine bay for a sharper, more responsive driving experience.

Key Features

• Genuine Carbon Fiber Housing: Lightweight 3K woven carbon fiber naturally insulates the intake air tract from high engine bay temperatures.

• High-Flow Washable Cone Filter: Engineered with a multi-layer pleated media that increases surface area for maximum filtration and optimal airflow.

• Streamlined Internal Geometry: Smooth internal walls minimize turbulence, allowing air to transition smoothly into the intake manifold.

• Direct Bolt-On Fitment: Designed to use existing factory mounting points for a clean installation with zero cutting or drilling required.

Performance & Benefits

• Sharper Throttle Response: By eliminating factory baffling and restrictions, air travels faster to the engine, noticeably sharpening acceleration from a dead stop.

• Enhanced Boxer Sound: Complements the unique signature rumblings of your Subaru engine with a deeper, more aggressive growl under heavy acceleration, while remaining quiet at highway cruising speeds.

• Superior Thermal Efficiency: Unlike aluminum or plastic tubes that heat-soak rapidly, the carbon fiber construction maintains lower intake air temperatures (IATs) to sustain consistent power delivery.
