Product Information

Full details

The MST Performance Induction Kit is designed for automotive enthusiasts looking to enhance their vehicle's throttle response and power delivery by replacing restrictive factory air systems with a high-flow, cold-air solution. While this kit offers noticeable gains in acceleration and an improved induction sound, potential users should note that installation involves modifying the stock intake path, which may require basic mechanical proficiency.

FAQs

Is the MST filter oiled?

No, the MST Performance Induction Kit uses a dry pleated synthetic filter, which does not require oiling.

Does this kit void my engine warranty?

Modifying your intake can impact warranty claims related to the engine. Consult your local dealer or vehicle manufacturer for specific warranty policies.

How often should I clean the filter?

It is recommended to inspect and clean the filter every 5,000 to 7,000 miles, depending on environmental conditions.

Can I install this myself?

Yes, if you are comfortable with basic automotive tools. The kit includes all hardware needed for a bolt-on installation.

Will this increase fuel economy?

While the kit is designed for performance, fuel economy is primarily dictated by driving habits. Increased power can lead to higher fuel consumption if driving aggressively.

Troubleshooting

Check engine light appears after installation

Check all vacuum lines and intake connections for air leaks. Ensure the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor is seated correctly.

Increased induction noise or whistling

This is normal for high-flow induction kits; however, ensure all pipe couplers are tight, as a loose connection can cause high-pitched whistling.

Reduced performance after extended use

The filter is likely saturated with dust; perform a routine cleaning to restore airflow.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Improved throttle response and acceleration
  • Noticeable induction sound profile
  • Heatshield prevents heat soak
  • Reusable, cost-effective filter material
  • Comprehensive hardware included

Cons

  • Requires mechanical knowledge for installation
  • More audible intake noise than factory setup
  • Filter requires regular cleaning intervals
  • Not compatible with all factory intake sensors

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires removing the factory airbox and housing, then securing the MST heatshield in the original mounting points. Always ensure that all hose clamps are tightened to prevent vacuum leaks, which could cause a check engine light. For care, the dry synthetic filter should be inspected every 5,000 to 7,000 miles. If the filter shows signs of dirt buildup, remove it and clean it using mild soap and water or a specialized filter cleaner. Ensure the filter is completely dry before re-installing it to avoid moisture entering the intake track.
