Does the HPS Intake Kit for Subaru Crosstrek also fit the Impreza and Forester?

Yes. HPS sells part number 827-563 for the 2013-2017 Crosstrek and XV Crosstrek 2.0L, the 2012-2016 Impreza 2.0L and the 2011-2018 Forester 2.5L, all with non-turbo engines. The same tube, heat shield and filter are supplied for every one of those models.

Will it fit a Forester XT, WRX or WRX STI?

No. HPS lists this kit for the non-turbo 2.0L and 2.5L engines only, and does not list the turbocharged Forester XT, WRX or WRX STI. HPS sells separate intake kits for the turbo Subarus, and those carry their own part numbers.

Is a tune needed after the intake is installed?

No. HPS states that kit 827-563 does not require tuning and that the engine keeps a safe air fuel ratio. HPS rates the Intake Kit for Subaru Crosstrek, Impreza and Forester models at 8.5 whp and 8.3 ft-lb from its own dyno testing, without naming the test vehicle.

What does installation involve?

HPS states that no modification is required, and kit 827-563 ships with a step-by-step manual with clear pictures. The work is removing the factory air box, fitting the steel heat shield so it meets the fresh air scoop, then joining the tube, couplers and filter with the supplied T-bolt clamps.

Can the air filter be cleaned?

Yes. The Intake Kit for Subaru Crosstrek, Impreza and Forester models ships with a washable and reusable HPS filter, so it can be cleaned at service time rather than replaced. HPS designed the filter to keep filtration high while letting the aluminum tube flow freely.

Description

HPS Cold Air Intake Kit for Subaru Crosstrek, Impreza 2.0L and Forester 2.5L

HPS’s Cold Air Intake Kit for Subaru Crosstrek, Impreza 2.0L and Forester 2.5L uses one part number, 827-563, across three non-turbo Subarus, and swaps the factory air box for a 2-3/4 inch mandrel-bent aluminum tube and a washable HPS filter. Its powder coated steel heat shield lines up with the factory fresh air scoop, so the filter still receives the cool air the stock box was fed. HPS lists gains of 8.5 whp and 8.3 ft-lb from its own dyno work. It suits owners after a crisper throttle without a tune.

Design and Performance

Because the shield meets the factory scoop, the filter breathes air delivered through that scoop rather than air already heated by the boxer engine, which counts on a Crosstrek or Forester that sits in traffic. HPS tuned the tube for the top end, so expect sharper response and more pull at higher rpm. It is a tidy bolt-on, not a replacement for a tune.

Features

Mandrel-bent aluminum tube replaces the stock air box
Powder coated steel heat shield works with the factory fresh air scoop
High temperature reinforced silicone couplers and stainless steel T-bolt clamps

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
