Okay, this might be a n00b question, but what about K&N's filter systems? I don't think they're good for our MAFS because they use oiled filters and what-not, but I was reading the latest Road and Track issue and they are advertising that the 2005 WRX STi gains 12 horsepower to the wheels, GUARANTEED. So are the intake systems good for STi's and not WRX's?? Any thoughts on this? Here's a web page worth checking out concerning this...

I had a Perrin Short Ram Intake....it didn't do much for performance....except make a lot of noise....plus it made the engine compartment a little dirty

Did you feel any performance gain?
Also, did it make the intake hella loud?

im confused...how does the velocity stack in the fender well create any more power? does it create a vacuum of some sort that would be more beneficial than just removing the snorkel and injesting air from the fender?
