Shop intake systems for the Subaru Forester XT 2004–2018 (SG, SH and SJ chassis). The XT spans the SG (2004–2008), SH (2009–2013) and SJ (2014–2018) generations, all-wheel drive throughout, with the 2.5 L EJ255 turbo flat-four in SG and SH cars and the 2.0 L FA20F direct-injection turbo flat-four in the SJ 2.0XT. Intake and intercooler airflow differ on the SJ, which feeds its top-mount intercooler without a hood scoop. You will find intake systems, air filters, inlet hoses and piping here — every part in this collection is fitment-tagged for the Subaru Forester XT 2004–2018 (SG, SH and SJ chassis), so check your trim, year and engine against the product fitment notes before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

What intake systems fit my Subaru Forester XT 2004–2018 (SG, SH and SJ chassis)?
Every part in this collection is fitment-tagged for the Forester XT, but fitment splits by generation and engine: SG and SH XTs use the EJ255, the SJ 2.0XT uses the FA20F, and transmissions range from 5-speed manual and 4-speed automatic on earlier cars to CVT-only on the SJ XT. Confirm your generation, year and engine on the product page before ordering.

How does the SJ Forester XT feed its intercooler without a scoop?
On the SJ 2.0XT, Subaru replaced the hood scoop with under-hood ducting: air is drawn through the grille and ducted under the hood to the top-mounted intercooler. SG and SH XTs use the earlier scoop-fed layout, so check intake and ducting fitment by generation.
