Super Hybrid Air Filter for the 2013-2016 Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S

The HKS Super Hybrid Air Filter for the 2013-2016 Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S is a direct-replacement performance filter for the FA20 applications in these early-production chassis. The hybrid cotton gauze and mesh construction provides higher airflow than the OEM paper element while maintaining filtration quality adequate for engine protection. It fits in the factory airbox without modification. The simplest intake upgrade on the platform.

Pre-Facelift Element, 420 cm² Filter Area, 30-Micron Rating

The early FA20 airbox in the first-generation BRZ and FR-S uses a filter element that is accessible for replacement without removing the airbox from the car. The HKS Super Hybrid drop-in replaces this element directly and improves the flow area immediately. Maintenance is simpler than OEM. Wash, re-oil, reinstall.

Airbox-In Filter Swap, No Modification Required

For the 2017+ Toyota 86 application, a separate part number applies. Verify your chassis year before ordering. The BRZ and FR-S share the same filter element format through 2016.

The FT Breakdown

The Super Hybrid is the first modification for any FR-S or BRZ build. It is the right starting point before moving to intake systems, exhaust work, or engine modifications. The cost is minimal, the installation takes five minutes, and the improvement is real. The 420 cm² surface area at 30-micron filtration is the pre-facelift FA20's correct specification — using the AT132 post-facelift element results in incorrect seal geometry and potential unfiltered air bypass. The cost of ordering the wrong part number is a MAF sensor or engine damage on a car you are maintaining to a high standard. Verify the production date of your car before ordering.
