They are beneficial in removing some of the restriction in your intake. I'd go for it. I like my samco's

plus the hoses make for easier removal/put back of the IC once you decide to go with an up-pipe and down-pipe

Yes. One of the better bang for your buck mods. Get the Perrin or Samco. I personally used the Vishnu, but the perrin or samco's are the same and cost less. Plus, Perrin makes a quality product.

I totally agree with Etchy in that it's one of the best bang-for-your-buck mods. Samcos are great.

Anyone know if the Forester XT hoses are the same as the WRX?
