i have a '98 2.5 rs and i'm planning on gettin a cold air intake but i dont know which ones to consider..does anyone have any suggestions?

thanks

 

The only one i see on the sites is the Injen cai so it must be somewhat good.

 

I have a 98 rs also. There aren't really any choices for the 98. The intake I wanted to get was the cobb intake, but they told me that they don't plan on making an intake for the 98 rs. All I see that are currently available is the injen cai, and those don't seem to get any good reviews performance wise, just a nice bling factor. I've looked into others, such as the rally spec, but those aren't being made anymore. GL if you find any good ones, inform me.

 

I have an Injen CAI on my 98 rs. Had it for over a year now. It works well, with some noticeable gains. The best part is the sound. even without a new exhaust system, it makes the stock engine sound great. i would highly recomend.

i say best bang for the buck would be an ebay cold air intake, they are basicly the same as any name brand one, only about 1/8 of the price, ebay is an awesome place for mods, like UD pulleys, exhausts, bla bla bla

 

I don't know if you could still find them all, but https://www.i-club.com/forums/engine-power-non-turbo-all-non-turbo-imprezas-61/whats-best-intake-647/ has a fairly comprehensive list of intakes for our NA cars. If it matters, I have a ganzflow which I got for like 50 a few months ago

 

please tell me you're joking about ebay intakes. especially with the 98rs. the injen has the MAF adapter, which is crucial, unless you want problems.

 

kidding about ebay intakes...well let me see arent ALL intakes some kind of a metal or aluminum tube? with some sort of maf adaptor (if applicable) so explain to me why in gods name a piece of tube would need to be name brand? the intake i bought is an exact replica of a 2.5 RS injen intake, and i payed 18 bucks for it, with filter, minus the sticker that says injen! so go ahead and pay 300+ dollars for your TUBE, whatever makes you sleep soundly *rolls eyes*

 

<applause> the only intakes i've seen on ebay are the ones that stick out about a foot from the throttle body without any of the holes drilled for the 4 hoses that need to be connected and without the MAF adapter. but yes, its all the same if you found or made a good one.

i didn't sleep a wink last night
