What Is MST Performance?

MST Performance is a specialist manufacturer of performance intake systems, induction kits, intake pipes and airflow components. The company was founded in Taiwan in 2011 by a car enthusiast who wanted better intake options for his own performance car. That hands-on approach still runs through the brand today, with MST developing vehicle-specific systems rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all intake design.

An MST Performance intake is designed to improve the route air takes into the engine while also increasing the amount of induction noise you hear under acceleration. Depending on the vehicle and setup, reducing restrictions on the intake side can also help improve throttle response and support the engine as more performance upgrades are added.

MST Performance Intake and Induction Kits

A factory intake system has to meet a wide range of requirements covering noise, cost, packaging and emissions, meaning outright airflow is not always the main priority.

An MST Performance induction kit replaces parts of the original intake system with components designed around improving airflow into the engine. Depending on the application, this can include a high-flow air filter, larger intake pipework, heat shields, air boxes and dedicated cold-air feeds. The result is an intake system designed to allow the engine to breathe more freely while giving the driver more induction sound when accelerating.

Why We Recommend MST Performance

“MST Performance kits are developed around individual cars and engines, so the pipework, filter position, and heat shielding have all been thought about as part of the complete system.

For a standard road car, an MST Performance intake is a good way to add more induction and turbo noise while sharpening up the way the car responds. If the car is already tuned, or you are planning further upgrades, improving the intake side also gives you a better foundation for increased airflow.

They also cover engines we know well, including the BMW B48, B58, and N55, which makes MST a strong fit for the type of performance cars known by the community.”

MST Performance FAQs

Do I need a remap with an MST Performance induction kit?

In many fitments, an MST Performance induction kit can be fitted to a standard car without requiring an ECU remap.

However, requirements vary between vehicles. Certain intake designs or heavily modified cars may benefit from tuning to make the most of the increased airflow. If you are unsure, send DRVN your vehicle details and current modifications before ordering.

What is the difference between an MST Performance intake and a cold air intake?

The terms are often used interchangeably, but a cold air intake specifically focuses on drawing cooler air from outside the hot engine bay.

An MST Performance intake may combine a high-flow filter, revised pipework, heat shielding and a dedicated cold-air feed depending on the vehicle. The exact layout is developed around the space available and the airflow requirements of that particular engine.

Will an MST Performance intake make my car louder?

Yes, in most applications you will hear more induction noise after fitting an MST Performance intake.

Turbocharged cars can also gain more noticeable turbo spool and diverter valve sounds because the factory airbox no longer suppresses as much of the intake noise. How noticeable it is depends on the vehicle and the design of the kit.

Need Help Choosing the Right MST Performance Intake?

Whether an intake is the first upgrade you are making or part of a larger tuned setup, getting the correct system for the car matters. Get in touch and send us your vehicle details and any existing modifications, and the DRVN team can help you find the right MST Performance induction kit for your setup.
