The factory front air feed, slam panel, airbox, intake tube, and turbo inlet were treated as one complete system. By opening up the front air supply and reducing restriction all the way to the turbocharger, the intake addresses both airflow volume and temperature instead of relying on hot engine-bay air when demand increases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe testing is also especially interesting for cars that see repeated hard use. Infinity Design recorded much more consistent power across consecutive dyno runs, making this a compelling setup for street cars as well as track and drag applications where heat soak and repeatability matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRaw Intake Sound Clips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wMYH6uLKYbs?si=2roXdcYarCSUAQtG\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow It Improves the Factory Intake\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe factory GR Corolla intake incorporates several features that restrict airflow. The OEM turbo pipe uses a large Helmholtz resonator and tight-radius bend, while the corrugated EPDM connection introduces additional turbulence. Airflow through the factory airbox must also make multiple direction changes before reaching the intake tube.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt higher RPM, the factory system opens an additional flap to draw more air from the engine bay. While this increases airflow volume, it also introduces significantly hotter air. Infinity Design instead developed a dedicated front-fed intake path designed to maximize cool air from the vehicle's front grilles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRedesigned Cold-Air Feed\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most significant changes is the completely redesigned carbon fiber slam panel. Rather than working around the restrictive factory opening, Infinity Design created a new panel that seals against the front chassis and directs airflow from the front grille area toward the oversized filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis helps the intake maintain a larger supply of cooler air without depending on hot engine-bay air as engine airflow demand increases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDyno-Tested Performance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/3457\/9704\/files\/GR_Corolla_Stock_VS_Infinity_Design_Run_3_Comparison_-_Test_1_519e276a-648b-4a02-8276-7195c418b497.png?v=1789747644\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFactory Intake Peak:\u003c\/strong\u003e 233 WHP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInfinity Design Intake Peak:\u003c\/strong\u003e 273 WHP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeak Gain:\u003c\/strong\u003e +40 WHP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReported Torque Gain:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to +35 ft-lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFactory Intake Run-to-Run Variation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 9 WHP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInfinity Design Run-to-Run Variation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 2 WHP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTesting was performed on a Dynojet 4WD-linked dynamometer with the vehicle otherwise stock and running 99 RON fuel.
