MST Performance Air Intake Kit – Subaru Forester XT 2.0 (2015+)
This air intake kit from MST Performance is a straightforward upgrade for the Subaru Forester XT 2.0, designed to improve how air flows into the engine. Better airflow means the engine can breathe more freely, which can result in improved throttle response, a more engaging intake sound, and modest performance gains over the standard factory setup.
The stock air intake system on most production cars is built with cost and noise reduction in mind, not outright performance. MST Performance replaces these restrictive factory components with a more direct, higher-flowing intake path, helping the turbo (the forced induction unit that pushes compressed air into the engine) work more efficiently.
What You Can Expect
Fitting this intake kit to your Forester XT should give you a noticeably crisper throttle response, particularly useful when pulling out onto faster roads or during overtaking. You may also notice a more audible intake tone under acceleration – a characteristic many enthusiasts enjoy. While this is not a dramatic power modification on its own, it forms a solid foundation for further engine upgrades and helps ensure your existing setup is not being held back by a restrictive airbox.
