▶ Vehicle Fitments
The COBB Short Ram SF Intake System is a high-performance MAF-style intake designed to enhance airflow and engine response for turbocharged Subaru models. Featuring a composite body, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD)-designed velocity stack, and airflow straighteners, this intake system reduces pre-turbo restrictions found in stock setups. The custom conical cloth air filter element improves filtration while maximizing airflow, resulting in better throttle response and increased power potential. The design minimizes turbulence, which helps maintain stable engine management and consistent performance under various driving conditions. Built with precision and quality materials, the COBB SF Intake offers durability and reliability for enthusiasts seeking a refined upgrade.
This intake system fits 2002–2007 Subaru WRX, 2004–2007 STI, and 2004–2008 Forester XT models, providing a direct replacement for the factory intake. It is engineered for street and track use, delivering improved airflow without compromising drivability or engine safety. Installation is straightforward, requiring no major modifications, making it suitable for daily drivers and performance builds alike. The kit includes the intake assembly and filter element, designed to integrate seamlessly with the vehicle’s existing MAF sensor and turbo inlet. This system is ideal for those looking to optimize their Subaru’s intake efficiency and overall engine performance.

COBB Short Ram Intake System
Fitment: 2002-2007 WRX / 2004-2007 STI / 2004-2008 Forester XT
Part #: 712100
Overview
The COBB Short Ram SF Intake System is a high-quality performance drivetrain component designed to improve airflow and reduce restrictions in the stock intake setup. Specifically engineered for select Subaru models, this intake system is ideal for enthusiasts seeking enhanced throttle response and smoother engine operation. By removing the pre-turbo intake restriction, it supports more efficient air delivery to the engine, which can contribute to improved performance and drivability.
This intake system is perfect for drivers who want a reliable upgrade that balances airflow optimization with engine management stability. Its design helps minimize turbulence, which can otherwise lead to inconsistent sensor readings and reduced engine efficiency.
Key Features
The COBB Short Ram SF Intake System offers several advanced features that make it a standout choice for Subaru performance upgrades:
- Custom conical cloth air-filter element designed for high airflow and filtration efficiency
- CFD-designed velocity stack that optimizes airflow by smoothing air entry and reducing turbulence
- Composite intake body engineered to maintain structural integrity while minimizing heat soak
- MAF-style intake system that integrates seamlessly with factory engine management systems
- Removes pre-turbo restriction to support improved engine breathing and throttle response
- Designed to maintain optimal flow characteristics for consistent performance
Construction & Design
The intake system features a composite body that balances durability with heat resistance, helping to reduce intake air temperatures compared to metal alternatives. The velocity stack and airflow straighteners are carefully engineered using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to ensure smooth, laminar airflow into the engine. This attention to detail supports both performance and reliability by minimizing airflow disruptions that can affect sensor accuracy.
Installation & Fitment
Installation is designed to be straightforward, utilizing factory mounting points and connections. Fitment is specific to the listed Subaru models, but it is recommended to verify compatibility with your vehicle using the part number and detailed listing information before purchase.
