K&N filters
Im going to be getting a 2005 Legacy 2.5GT tomorrow, and I want to throw a K&N filter in it. K&N doesnt have a filter listed on their website that will fit the 2005 car. Does anyone know if the filter that fits the 2004 car would work? I dont know if there were any mods to the airbox for the new year that would prevent this. Thanks

I'd stay away from K&N.....they use Oiled filters....I don't know about Legacy's, but they can cause some damage on STis.

To add to what itwrx is saying, the stock intake on the WRX and WRX STI, and i'm assuming the LGT, are more than adequate for large amounts of horsepower. No one has been able to show any benefit over a stock box and filter. Incidentally, Cobb is releasing one for the Impreza simply due to demand, not because it actually does anything. They're going to build one that doesn't detract from performance, but satisfies the consumer's desire.

To be fair, there's nothing wrong with the K&N filter, but there's a problem with K&N users. If you overoil the filter, you'll have problems. If you use it properly, you won't. That being said, as noted, there isn't much gain to be had there, on the turbo legacies.
