Sorry to butt in, but I am looking for an intake for my 98 impreza outback sport (2.2 w/ MAF) Before I read this thread, I was planning to get the Rallitek intake system. Now, I would really like to find a CAI that incorporated the MAF inline like the Rallitek and Weapon R, which I have yet to be able to find. There is also a Ganz flow designed for my model year, and it does not eliminate the stock airbox and incorporates the MAF sensor in line. This is the first significant mod i have planned for my car, and I would like to find the intake system that most fits my needs. I dont exactly race my car; I just want a little more get-up-and-go. But I'm not willing to sacrafice a whole lot of low end power -and none of that stalling/hesitation crap.

So for all of you with experience in dealing with N/A subaru intakes... can you please give me any advise or recommendations? ... anything would be helpful

The answer to your question is: Just remove the fender well intake silencer. Anything else for your car could coss bogging/hesitation that you dont want.

seems to be the conclusion across the boards. but...

edit:cobb's doesnt cause bogging, neither does ganzflow. cobb makes more power than the ganzflow, but how much power are you gonna get out of an intake for a subaru, not much. i would just remove the silencer

Those intakes are for '00-'01 MAP equipped engines. With a MAF car, all you can really do is the silencer mod.

A cobb should work fine, but you have to modify it for the MAF sensor... Not that difficult. But thats $270 + shipping dont forget.

Well now I really don't know what to do... I'd like to know more about the MAF modification which facilitates the Cobb CAI. Would an intake that incorporated the stock air plenum not cause bogging? (see pic) should I just stick with the silencer mod? I was also thinking about a K&N drop-in filter. However, I have read that the oil used on these can cause problems with the MAF. I greatly appreciate your feedback... what should I do?
