Every Subaru enthusiast knows the iconic look of the WRX STI WRINKLE RED INTAKE MANIFOLD ASSEMBLY. Bold. Aggressive. Purposeful. That brilliant red finish isn’t just cosmetic—it’s a signature of performance and engineering excellence that has become synonymous with Subaru’s EJ platform.

Why the WRX STI WRINKLE RED INTAKE MANIFOLD ASSEMBLY Matters

Think of the intake manifold as your engine’s lungs. It distributes air from the throttle body evenly into each cylinder, ensuring combustion is balanced and efficient. Without it, your EJ engine simply can’t breathe properly.

The WRX STI WRINKLE RED INTAKE MANIFOLD ASSEMBLY provides:

• Optimized Airflow – Precision-engineered runners feed each cylinder consistently.

• Improved Throttle Response – The design reduces lag between pedal input and engine reaction.

• Factory-Tuned Balance – Maintains the perfect ratio of performance, reliability, and efficiency.

• Iconic Subaru Look – The wrinkle red finish is instantly recognizable among enthusiasts.

Whether you’re replacing a worn manifold or upgrading a build, this assembly ensures your EJ engine runs at peak performance.

The Power of OEM Subaru Engineering

Aftermarket manifolds may promise more horsepower, but many fall short when it comes to reliability and fitment. Subaru engineered the WRX STI WRINKLE RED INTAKE MANIFOLD ASSEMBLY specifically for the EJ257 platform, meaning every curve, runner, and connection was designed with precision.

Why OEM matters:

1. Perfect Fitment – No grinding, trimming, or adjusting needed.

2. Durability – Built to handle heat, pressure, and long-term use.

3. Resale Value – OEM parts keep your Subaru true to factory specs.

4. Performance You Can Trust – Proven in countless WRX STI models worldwide.

When you install this manifold, you’re not just replacing a part—you’re restoring your STI to its intended performance standard.
