Open a fram up and you will understand, they are the single worst filters on the market.
The best, in kind of order:
Penzol one (pro series not the low end stuff)
Mobil 1 / K&N (same filter different can on them...note that the TRD filters are just rebadged K&N)
Stock subaru (made by WIX if memory serves me right)
anything by WIX
AC Delco
anything else

If you're into the Subaru filters, get the BLACK ONES ONLY!!!
They changed to blue ones who are built by FRAM which, btw, stands for:
F***ing
Rebuild
A
Motor
Because the cardboard they use inside disintegrates...

so i find a stranger changing his oil infront of my house today and i introduce myself and tell him about the situation that im in. he says he'll take a look at it for me. he was a HUGE guy. proly 6foot5 atleast 250 inches.
we put my car up on ramps and he goes under to take a look. he struggles around for a bit and somehow gets off the stripped bolt. i thank him and such then we start talkin about cars and mods. he sparked the convo after seeing my cai. so pretty much after telling him about all the illegal parts he goes on and saying, "im friends with your neighbor. he's my mechanic." i knew my neighbor worked with cars but never knew exactly what. so i asked "oh where does he work?" he replies, "he's a police car mechanic. im a police officer"
at this point, i swear my heart was beating. i thought i was guna get reffed but he was soooo chill with it. thank God for cool cops. he told me as long as we (car enthusiasts) dont drive like idiots, he will never care about our mods.
pheeeeeeeeeew. well at least i got that problem resolved. im trying to initiate my cobb accessport and its being a dick. sighhhhhh
