Ramair Carbon Fibre Air Intake Kit Toyota Yaris GR (Foam Filter)

Ramair Carbon Fibre Air Intake Kit – Toyota GR Yaris (Foam Filter)

This performance air intake kit from Ramair is a direct replacement for the factory airbox on the Toyota GR Yaris, designed to improve airflow into the engine and sharpen the driving experience. If you want more responsive throttle, a better induction sound, and a cleaner engine bay look, this is a straightforward and effective upgrade.

The GR Yaris runs a 1.6-litre turbocharged three-cylinder engine – a small but highly capable unit that responds well to better breathing. The standard airbox is designed with cost and noise reduction in mind, not outright performance. Ramair’s kit replaces it with components that allow the engine to draw in air more freely, which can improve throttle response and help the turbo spool up (spin up to boost pressure) more readily.

What Makes This Kit Different

The standout feature is the carbon fibre lid, which keeps weight low while also looking the part under the bonnet. Paired with a black powder-coated heat shield, it helps keep the intake away from hot engine air – important on a turbocharged engine where heat can reduce performance. Cooler, denser air entering the engine means more efficient combustion.

The kit also includes a CNC MAF housing – this is the housing for the Mass Airflow Sensor, the component that tells the engine’s ECU (the car’s engine management computer) how much air is entering the engine. A precision-machined housing ensures the sensor reads accurately and the airflow is smooth and consistent.

What’s Included

• Carbon fibre intake lid
• Black powder-coated heat shield
• Ramair foam air filter
• Black silicone intake hose
• CNC machined MAF sensor housing
• Full fitting hardware and step-by-step instructions

Ramair’s foam filter element is a reusable, oiled foam design – it flows well and can be cleaned and re-oiled rather than replaced, making it a practical long-term choice. The silicone hose connecting the filter to the turbo inlet is flexible, heat-resistant, and a significant step up from standard plastic pipework.

What to Expect

On a car like the GR Yaris, the gains from an intake kit are noticeable rather than dramatic on a standard map. You can expect a more immediate throttle feel, a more audible induction and turbo sound under acceleration, and a tidier engine bay. If you’re planning further modifications – such as a remap – this intake gives the engine better foundations to work from and can help unlock more from a tune.

This is also a well-presented kit. The carbon fibre lid and black powdercoat finish give it a premium appearance, so it holds up well on a car like the GR Yaris where the engine bay is often on show.
