Pros:
|
no cost standard equipment, flows enough air to feed most street engines
|
|
Cons:
|
functional, but not very pretty
|
|
I'm very satisfied with my factory airbox, complete with 'snorklepuss' intake snorkle. It is trouble-free and only requires filter element replacement at 30,000 miles.
The factory filter element flows as well as aftermarket replacements due to the high number of pleats, which increases filtering area without making the element larger. No messy cleaning solvents or filtering oils to apply!
Filter element replacement is simple, with only four clips holding the airbox closed. Be sure that the lip of the airbox is fully seated before locking down the clips.
I think that Subaru did a fine job with their factory airbox and intake and I don't foresee ever replacing it with anything prettier.

I had a rice cone filter on my last car and it destroyed my TPS and MAF over time. Also, cleaning the filter was a PITA. Why not just use the intake that works and pay two bucks for a brand new filter when it needs to be changed? If anything, do the silencer removal.

I like it. All you have to do is remove the silencer to hear a more audible turbo and bov.
