Performance Air Intake for Toyota Corolla (2009-2017) with 1.8L Engine Red

Maximize Throttle Response and Airflow for Your 2009-2017 Toyota Corolla 2ZR-FE

Who It’s For: Designed specifically for 2009-2017 Toyota Corolla owners running the reliable 2ZR-FE engine family. Whether you are daily driving an E140 or the later E170 chassis, this kit is for the owner who wants to hear the Dual VVT-i work and feel a sharper response during gear transitions.

The Problem: The factory airbox on the 2ZR-FE is engineered for silence above all else. It utilizes a series of restrictive baffles and a narrow plastic inlet that creates significant turbulence and air-speed drag. Furthermore, the stock plastic housing is prone to heat soak, causing the intake air temperatures (IATs) to spike and the ECU to pull timing, which kills your low-end torque.

The Solution: We engineered this performance intake to eliminate the factory bottlenecks. By utilizing mandrel-bent T-304 aluminum and a dedicated steel heat shield, we provide a direct, high-velocity path for oxygen to reach the throttle body. This setup corrects the 2ZR-FE’s breathing limitations, delivering more consistent power even in stop-and-go traffic.

Why This is the Ultimate Upgrade

• Optimized Power Band: By reducing pumping losses, this intake delivers an estimated 7–10% increase in horsepower and 6–8% more torque, specifically noticeable in the mid-range where the 2ZR-FE usually falls flat.
• Thermal Management: The included carbon-black powder-coated steel heat shield acts as a physical barrier between the engine’s radiant heat and the filter, ensuring a denser, cooler air charge.
• Precision Fitment: This is a true bolt-on system. It utilizes factory mounting points and is compatible with both manual and automatic transmissions, requiring zero cutting or permanent modification to your engine bay.
