Engine/Power - non turbo (All non turbo Imprezas) Who needs a turbo when you have 2500cc? Cams, intakes, exhausts, etc. The 2.2L and 1.8L Subies are cool too.

COBB intake is generally considered best for absolute most power...Cobb Tuning

Ganzflow is probably best bang-for-the-buck...Larry's page

Avoid intakes that use open-element filters in the engine compartment. Good ones all pull air from the fender or by sealing and using the hoodscoop, as with the Gravel Sport.

By the way, welcome to i-Club...

I wouldn't expect 8 hp from intake alone. The real perks to intake are much better sound and throttle response. Light mods will add up and build on each other though- the total gains from intake, headers, exhaust, high-flow converter and pulley is more than each one by itself.

Two basic rules to obey when evaluating said desired cold-air intake:

1.) Metal tubing is a silly thing to employ because of its heat conductivity

2.) Don't be one of those ******* that has an open element air filter sitting on the middle of their engine bay sucking in 200 degree air...

Metal tubing is all you can get unless you go DIY route, but it's far more important to avoid the open-air intakes. Those have much suck. Figuratively, not literally...

I have a DIY plastic intake I assembled for my 98 Impreza RS that I may end up trying to sell. It is very OEM looking but eliminates the so called "torque box" immediately before the throttle body...I'll post pictures soon and see if anyone wants to buy them (geesh talk about a small potential market...ouch)...lol

Rallitek is not a tuner, they are a vendor... they aren't developing anything. I believe they are only selling Weapon-R intakes right now, which are death the MAF sensors.
