Any intake systems for 2008 legacy 2.5 non turbo?

Hey I have a 2008 legacy 2.5i "special edition" and I am looking for a intake system for it. As of now I have found nothing. I got this car used so right off the bat I changed multiple things, oil bulbs etc. When I looked at my air filter I found it was filthy, so I went ahead and put the drop in k&n filter and got a very minor power boost. I want something more so if you guys know any aftermarket intakes for my car, please reply to this or pm me. Fyi sorry if I am doing anything wrong? This is my first post.Aloha!

Dude don't waste your money on crap like that, i have an 07 outback and i put a cosworth airfilter in, night and day difference. and only 45$ also get better mileage.

Forgot to mention the benefits of the K&N panel filter you already have, I run those in all of my cars, so +1

Thanks for the advice, if the intake is a waste of money, what else would you recomend for a little more power? Becide the obvious like turbos?

Thank you for the info! I was wondering if you knew any thing else I could do to my car? A lot of people say dont bother with my car because its a na but I want to pull atleast a little more power out of it.

Do some of the easy stuff like light crank pulley, if it's manual lighten up flywheel.

Dunno if they make em but a throttle body spacer and intake manifold thick gaskets may help.
These usually help in the torque/response department.

Possibly an exhaust and a panel filter which I believe you already bought, but that's pretty much it, anything beyond that, you might as well look into a lgt.
