Performance Air Intake for Geo Metro LSi XFi (1991-1997) 1.0L 1.3L Engines

Maximize the Volumetric Efficiency of Your G10 or G13 Powerplant

Who It’s For: Engineered for Geo Metro LSi and XFi owners running the 1.0L G10 or 1.3L G13 powerplant who are tired of the stock sluggishness and want every bit of power these small-displacement engines can offer.

The Symptom: The factory intake on the Geo Metro is designed for silence, not performance. It uses a restrictive resonator box and narrow, accordion-style tubing that creates massive air turbulence, effectively choking the engine’s throttle response. For an engine that already struggles with highway merging and steep inclines, this lack of airflow makes the car feel incredibly heavy and unresponsive under load.

The Engineering Fix: This system replaces that restrictive plastic plumbing with a mandrel-bent T304 aluminum tube. By straightening the airflow path and removing the factory baffles, we reduce fluid friction and increase the air velocity entering the throttle body. By relocating the high-flow filter to draw in cooler, denser air, we improve the oxygen-to-fuel ratio during combustion, resulting in a sharper throttle snap and a much-needed boost in torque to help this lightweight chassis get moving.

Why Mechanics Choose This Kit

• Optimized Power Band: By increasing airflow by up to 10%, you’re giving these 3nd and 4-cylinder engines the breathing room they need to maintain momentum on hills and during passing maneuvers.
• Induction Resonance: Replaces the "vacuum cleaner" stock sound with a deep, throaty induction roar that makes the driving experience far more engaging.
• Industrial Build Quality: Constructed from T304 lightweight aluminum piping that dissipates heat faster than stock plastic and includes a washable, reusable high-flow cotton media filter.
