I wonder if they make an FXT application. I'm sure the tubing will fit just fine, but the heatshield probably won't seal up against the ceiling of my hood properly.

"namakemono is the typhoon a short ram or CAI?" Did you even look at the link? I think all K&N filter have to be oiled.

I swear I read somewhere that these figures are misleading. Something about the ECU not having enough time to compensate for the additional airflow causing a temporary lean condition. You know what they say: "Leaner is meaner." He did mention in the post that the air/fuel stayed the same but the change could have been subtle enough (12 hp gain) to not be picked up by the A/F/02 sniffers. *shrug*
In addition, I find it curious that Vishnu prefers to tune Subie's that have the factory intake.
Then again, what the hell do I know, I'm just a former Mustang owner that's a n00b Subie owner.

If the ECU didn't see the change because it is so small then there isn't really anything to worry about...Aron, that site http://www.imprezawrxsti.com/postnuke/ has a little more tech info and the best thing it's all STI related...
Read some reviews...

I bought it and it sucks. removed it two days after installing it. took it to 6k rpm in 2nd and after that my car ran like ****. probaly a bad air/fuel mixture after the ecu tried to adjust, anytime my turbo would spool up it sounded like the motor would start to bog. anyway after putting on the stock intake it corrected itself and i havent used it since.

I've had the k&n CAI for while now and love it. Really sounds better than stock, the gulping sound of the turbo is sick and it also comes with a "sleeve" that protects the filter from getting dirt and water in it and prolongs filter life.
