So what's your take on this intake? Did it do anything for you?

Seems to be drawing too much from inside the engine compartment.

 

Thanks for the link! I thought they only made a CAI. How do you like yours?? Is the filter washable? Thanks again! That's a pretty good price too. That's about the cheapest priced intake I've ever seen.

 

You'll notice a bit of gain in the high end, while on the highway. I noticed whild in 4th and 5th gear, the pick up speed was increasing and was more responsive than the stock intake.

As for low end torque, there's not much of an increase, but you'll feel 'something'.
You'll hear your engine noise increase by A LOT, and you'll have this 'sucking' noise coming from the intake as you are under WOT.
Other than that, it also adds "Blinginess" to your engine bay lol.

I do not believe that the filter is washable, therefore, you have to switch to another cone filter. I'm planning to switch mine for a K&N cone filter.

Indeed, it does suck a lot of air coming from the engine bay, but that's what you get for a SRI, unless you get the CAI, which sucks air from the fender on the passenger side.

 

^^ just ordered one.

 

K&N would seem a good choice for replacment, as long as the the oil doesn't throw cels.

J-Chow, do you know the exact K&N part # for replacement?

 

I've had 5 different OBD II cars with K&N filters and have never had a CEL. Some people must be over oiling these filters.

 

unfortunately, I do not know the exact K and N part # for replacement. I'll be searching around and probably going to a shop and asking them which filter is replacable.

Also, I'm not sure, but I could also ask Subaru Genuine Parts, if they're "SPT turbo air intake filter replacement" would work as a filter replacement for our intakes.

 

alright just wondering... i didn't know there are certain intake filters we need to have for our cars.. i just went and got one from autozone since my intake that came with the pipe broke but right now its temporary so yeah... does it really matter? unless you guys are determining from the size of the filter

 

just bought one, take measurement's and go to a authorized dealer with a part #
