An intake upgrade gives you plenty to get excited about. There is the prospect of a more pronounced induction note, the look of new hardware under the hood, and the opportunity to improve the air path feeding the engine. Choosing the right system becomes easier when you look at everything included in the kit.

The filter is one part of that picture. The airbox or heat shield, connecting pipework, turbo inlet, and even the cover can influence which package belongs in your build.

At Extreme Power House, the MST Performance selection gives enthusiasts several approaches to explore. Products include intake systems, inlet hardware, and accessories for selected BMW, Toyota, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, Subaru, and other applications.

For your next upgrade, look beyond a photograph of the filter. Consider the complete assembly, how it fits your vehicle, and which details matter most to you. MST’s range makes that comparison especially interesting.

Start With the Complete Air Path

When comparing intake products, begin with what each package replaces.

Some kits focus on the airbox, filter, and connecting pipe. Others extend the upgrade with a turbo inlet. Accessories may change an existing MST assembly without replacing the full system.

That distinction helps you shop around your car’s current configuration. If you are starting with factory equipment, a complete package may cover the change you have in mind. If you already own an MST intake, an application-specific accessory may be worth exploring first.

Think about the result you want as well. You might value induction sound, a tidy engine bay, a particular airbox design, or an assembly that includes more of the inlet path. Put those priorities in order before comparing product names.

Then check the exact engine and model requirements. Two cars wearing the same badge can use different engines or intake layouts. The right choice starts with the vehicle you own and the hardware already fitted to it.

Toyota Supra and BMW Z4: Explore an Intake-and-Inlet Package

For selected B58-powered sports cars, XPH offers the MST TY-SUP05 Cold Air Intake System + Turbo Inlet Pipe. Its stated fitment covers 2021–2025 Toyota Supra 3.0T and BMW Z4 3.0T applications.

The appeal here is the scope of the package. You can shop an intake and turbo inlet together rather than treating them as unrelated purchases.

The listing describes an HDPE airbox, a 152mm reusable filter, and a six-inch intake tube. It also identifies a direct-fit arrangement that does not require remapping for the specified application.

For an owner planning the first engine-bay upgrade, that gives the purchase a clear identity: a coordinated assembly for a particular vehicle range. For someone comparing several Supra intake options, it provides concrete details to weigh against other designs.

Keep the fitment boundaries in view. A product for the listed 3.0T applications should be selected around those requirements, including model year and existing equipment.

Picture the finished installation, then review the package contents. Knowing which components arrive together helps you plan the upgrade with confidence.

Toyota GR Yaris: A Covered Airbox With a View

A covered airbox can still let you see the filter that forms the center of the upgrade.

The MST TY-GRY06B is listed at XPH for the 2020+ Toyota GR Yaris 1.6 Turbo. Its design includes a covered airbox, a see-through screw-in cover for filter access, and a revised air duct. Installation hardware and instructions are also listed.

For a GR Yaris owner, this offers a distinct approach to the engine bay. The filter remains visible through the cover, giving the assembly an aftermarket identity while keeping the covered layout.

That can be appealing if you enjoy seeing the upgrade when the hood is open but prefer the appearance of an airbox surrounding it. The transparent section becomes part of the presentation.

Existing MST owners should pay attention to the product version. XPH states that this enclosed system is incompatible with the earlier TY-GRY01/GRY01L open-design pipework. The airbox and duct are not offered separately.

Treat it as the specified complete system when planning your purchase. That detail helps you choose the right route from your current setup to the finished assembly you want.

Volkswagen Mk8 GTI: Look at the Pipework, Too

For Volkswagen enthusiasts, XPH lists the MST VW-MK888 Cold Air Intake System for the Mk8 Golf GTI with the 245hp EA888 EVO4 2.0TSI engine.

This package illustrates why the connecting hardware deserves attention alongside the filter.

The product description identifies a three-inch reinforced silicone intake pipe and an oversized aluminum turbo inlet elbow with CNC-machined connections. It also describes a black finish and a direct replacement arrangement for the specified factory intake system.

For the shopper, those are useful comparison points. You can evaluate the material choices, which sections are replaced, and how the assembly will look beneath the hood.

A black finish may suit an owner who wants the engine bay to remain visually restrained. The upgraded pipework gives the installation a defined purpose beyond the visible filter itself.

Confirm the stated engine specification before ordering. The Mk8 range includes different powertrains, and a GTI-specific product should be matched to the precise application.

Once that is settled, compare the complete package against your priorities. A well-chosen intake should make sense as an assembly.

Mercedes-Benz M276: A V2 Package With an Upgrade Path

MST’s selection also includes products that give existing owners another route forward.

XPH offers the MST MB-C4301L V2 intake system for selected M276-powered Mercedes-Benz C400, C450, C43 AMG, and GLC43 applications. The listing describes additional inlet pipes and an adapter as part of the V2 configuration, along with a heat shield and washable filter.

For someone starting from the factory intake, the complete V2 system provides one package to evaluate. For someone who already owns the earlier MST C43 intake, the listing states that the V2 inlet pipes and adapters can be purchased separately.

That makes the current equipment on your car especially relevant. Identify which version you have before deciding whether to shop the full kit or the compatible upgrade components.

It is also an opportunity to be precise about the engine. The M276 application is central here; later models carrying familiar AMG badges may use a different powertrain.

With the correct configuration identified, you can choose a purchase that moves the existing build forward. That is part of the enjoyment of a developing project: finding the next component that belongs with what you already own.

BMW X3 and X4: A Heat-Shield Design for B58 Applications

An intake upgrade can also bring more character to a performance SUV’s engine bay.

The MST BW-X301 is listed for BMW G01 X3 and G02 X4 models equipped with the 3.0T B58 engine. Its package includes a black powder-coated inlet pipe, a heat shield, and a washable dry cone filter. XPH’s description highlights airflow, throttle response, and a stronger induction sound as the system’s aims.

For an owner who enjoys the combination of SUV practicality and a turbocharged six-cylinder, the intake offers another way to personalize the driving experience.

The black components give the assembly a coordinated appearance. The reusable filter is also a detail to consider when planning ownership and maintenance.

Match this product to the B58 engine specified in the listing. An X3 or X4 model name alone does not establish compatibility across the full range.

Then consider what you want to hear and see from the upgrade. An intake can become a satisfying part of a build when its sound, presentation, and maintenance requirements fit your expectations.

Toyota GR86 and Subaru BRZ: An Option Beyond Turbocharged Platforms

MST’s range at XPH also reaches naturally aspirated sports cars.

The MST TY-GR8602 Cold Air Intake System is listed for the 2022+ Toyota GR86 and Subaru BRZ with the 2.4L engine. The product describes a larger airbox, a 3.5-inch high-flow reusable filter, and a direct-fit design intended to add a sportier induction note.

For owners of these lightweight coupes, that offers a different intake experience from the turbocharged examples above. The shopping decision can center on the intake sound, assembly design, and how the upgrade fits the character you want from the car.

There is no need to copy the priorities of a completely different platform. Build around the aspects of your GR86 or BRZ that you enjoy most.

Before planning installation, review current availability. At the time checked, XPH listed this particular kit as out of stock without an estimated arrival date.

Already Own an MST Intake? Look at the Clear Cover

An existing MST assembly may have another option available.

XPH offers the MST Clear Heat Shield Cover for specific MST intake kits. It is an accessory for compatible existing systems, allowing the filter to remain visible within a covered arrangement.

The listing matches covers to intake part numbers. Examples include CCSUP01 for TY-SUP01, TY-SUP01L, and TY-SUP03L, and CCMK777 for selected Volkswagen kits including VW-MK777, VW-MK802, and VW-MK888.

For an owner who already likes the intake, this can be an appealing detail to explore. It changes the presentation of the existing assembly while retaining a view of the filter.

Order by the compatible intake part number. The cover is not universal, so identify the kit already installed before selecting the accessory.

This is a useful reminder that the next purchase does not always need to be a complete replacement. Sometimes a compatible addition is the detail that finishes the setup.

Choose the MST Setup That Belongs in Your Build

The MST selection at Extreme Power House gives you several ways to approach an intake upgrade: a coordinated intake-and-inlet package, a heat-shield system, a covered airbox, or an accessory for equipment already installed.

Review filter-care instructions for the exact kit, and confirm intended use before ordering. Several XPH MST listings specify that the intakes and inlets are not CARB compliant and are intended for off-road or racing use.

From B58-powered BMW and Toyota applications to Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, GR Yaris, GR86, and Subaru BRZ options, the rewarding choice is the one that matches your vehicle and your goals. Compare the details and find your next upgrade in the MST Performance selection at Extreme Power House.
