Greddy Direct Air Intake
2022–2026 Toyota GR86 / 2022–2026 Subaru BRZ
12515002
Overview:
The Greddy Direct Air Intake is a high-quality air intake duct designed specifically for the 2022 to 2026 Toyota GR86 and Subaru BRZ models. Crafted from vacuum molded polypropylene (PP), this intake duct replaces the factory air intake duct, which has its intake port concealed behind the front bumper. By relocating the intake to a large duct positioned in the radiator grille, it actively channels fresh, cool air directly into the air cleaner, enhancing airflow efficiency.
This product is ideal for enthusiasts seeking improved engine breathing and a more responsive driving experience without compromising compatibility with the genuine air cleaner boxes. Its lightweight construction also contributes to overall vehicle weight reduction compared to previous FRP designs.
Key Features:
The Greddy Direct Air Intake offers several technical advantages and thoughtful design elements:
- Constructed from vacuum molded polypropylene (PP) for durability and lightweight performance.
- Weighs approximately 300 grams less than Greddy’s FRP intake duct designed for earlier ZN6/ZC6 chassis.
- Features a large duct intake integrated into the radiator grille to maximize fresh air capture during driving.
- Replaces the factory intake duct whose intake port is hidden behind the bumper, improving airflow path.
- Compatible with genuine air cleaner boxes, maintaining OEM filter usage and fitment.
- Designed to actively draw cooler outside air, supporting better combustion and throttle response.
Construction & Design:
The intake duct is expertly vacuum molded from polypropylene, a material known for its strength, heat resistance, and light weight. This construction method ensures a precise fit and consistent quality. The design strategically relocates the air intake from a concealed position behind the bumper to a prominent duct in the radiator grille, allowing for a more direct and less restrictive airflow path.
This thoughtful design not only reduces intake air temperatures but also contributes to a more efficient engine breathing process. The duct’s integration with the factory air cleaner box means no modifications are needed to the filter housing, preserving OEM filtration performance and ease of maintenance.
Installation & Fitment:
Installation of the Greddy Direct Air Intake requires moderate modification and mechanical skill. The process involves removing the front bumper to access the factory intake duct area. Additionally, drilling and machining of the reinforcement hose are necessary, along with cutting the energy absorber (styrofoam) to accommodate the new duct.
While installation is more involved than a simple bolt-on, these steps are essential to ensure proper fitment and optimal airflow. This intake duct is designed exclusively for the 2022–2026 Toyota GR86 and Subaru BRZ models, guaranteeing a precise fit when installed correctly.
