Product Description

Even though the filter on your COBB SF Intake is designed to last forever, life happens. Maybe a wrench fell on it during a spark plug change, maybe it rubbed against a fender liner, or maybe it's just seen one too many winters. While the original element is fully washable, physical damage can compromise the pleats and restrict flow. This COBB SF Replacement Filter is the exact part you need to restore the performance and aesthetic of your engine bay.

But there is another great reason to grab one of these: Zero Downtime. Cleaning a filter properly takes time—you have to wash it, rinse it, and let it air dry completely before re-oiling. Who wants their car stuck on jack stands for 24 hours waiting for cotton to dry? By keeping a spare COBB filter on the shelf, you can pull a "pit stop" maneuver—swap in the fresh filter instantly and clean the dirty one at your leisure. It fits a wide range of COBB kits (including Subaru WRX/STI, Forester, Legacy GT, and the Mazdaspeed3), ensuring that your specific build gets the clean, cool air it craves without the wait. COBB Tuning builds these to handle the abuse of daily driving and track days alike—don't settle for a generic cone that might slip off; stick with the blue oiled original.
