I got a piece of rubber pipe from the home depot...it's bent 90 degrees and had two big ends, but the middle section was 3.5 inches. It was a perfect fit. I just hacked off one of the big ends and shoved it through the hole in the fender. I also bought the block off plate for the hole left from the snorkus. Looks great and sounds awesome. Seems like the boost drop off is not as bad as it used to be, but could just be me...

Where did you purchase that cover piece for the other hole when the old intake went through?

You can get the plug from most any on line place that sells OEM stuff or just order it from your dealer.

Any thoughts?

The reason Vishnu does not recommend changing from the stock airbox is that the XEDE is tuned for the stock airbox and not any of the aftermarket intakes. With that being said, you can still replace your intake, but the XEDE may not perform as well as it could. Hope this helps...

I removed the snorkus last weekend on my 03 WRX, but was curious about replacement air filters. I've read some bad things about the K&N and oil disrupting the MAF. Does anybody recommend other filters, or is the stock paper filter the best route?

I've been using K&N panel filters in my Scoobies for years w/ no problems. In my Forester I went and got a "Green Filter" to give that a try. I really think it's better made than the K&N. I think if you don't go crazy over oiling them you will be OK. Here are some pics and info:
