For filters I personally stick with the stock paper air filter. Very simple and effecient. If I got the K&N, I would probably be one of the morons that over oils it, lol. I just replace the stock one whenever it looks like dirt/grime is building up.

Honestly...F the warranty. As long as you take care of the car and do all the required maintanence, you will most likely have no problems. Modded or not. Subarus are truly great cars.
If you are modding the car, you should expect the dealership to deny any warranty work. Like VIBEELEVEN said, some care some dont. I wouldnt take my modded car to the dealership though.

So, I just got the "drive" magazine in the mail which features the spt intake, after seeing it I would NOT buy it, it suffers from the same poor design as most poorly engineered aftermarket short rams.
See the bend before the maf...

Subaru says no tunning and retains warrenty. Engineered to work CORRECTLY with the stock MAF (unlike ALL the others on the market). Every Typhoon owner that shows a gain on the dino is running lean(without a tune). You will notice in my original post I said "If you have to get one". I do not need one as I run the stock turbo and the stock CIA (yes it is a CIA) flows enough air.

I have an 05 STI with a SPT Intake on it and have had no problems with it and the CobbAP. I started with a drop in K&N filter then went to the SPT and installed the ACN91 stage 1 map. I had no problems with either.
I did read in a subiesport a while back that the Ingen CIA had to be tuned in order not to cause problems. The AEM one had little to no tuning needed. Just some food for thought.

Do not get any other AFTERmarket Cold air intake OR short ram! because it can affect your perfomance on ur MAF sensor. the only one u can get that is safe is.. the cobb (cobbtuning.com), its call the SF intake..they run from $189 at there site. YOU wont get any power gain, just the sound
