from what im told, the hp gains are minimal. but the sound of the turbo spool is much more evident with an aftermarket intake.

Pm us, we'll get you what you need, i personally prefer the blitz SUS with the godspeed MAF section. I can get you one. I love mine. But i definately recomend a short ram rather than a cai.

intakes are good if you have some form of engine management, on the wrx that is. puting an cai or shortram on a stock wrx will lean it out.

I bought the injen. Felt a minimal power increase, but the loud spooling was worth the money itself. If you are looking for power, go other places first.
I took it off because I got scared of sucking water into the fender. Then I cut it in half and put it back on.....

personally if this is your second mod save your money, it will be better spent elsewhere, just get a k&n filter for your stock intake and reomve the silencer
WIth an intake and not a real tune in engine managment as someone said early it will lean it out, now it makes more power but not real good for the motor at all |

a lot of people automatically swarm towards intakes as early mods on WRXs, but its not going to give you a noticeable difference like on other cars. there is an airbox silencer mod you can do which is completely free and relatively easy which will increase intake and turbo noise and is pretty nice is thats what you're going for. i'd suggest getting a downpipe and/or an uppipe if you're looking for bang for the buck. the uppipe install is pretty tricky but you might be able to find some experienced guys to help you out with it. the downpipe install isnt bad at all. oh and fwiw, i have a Blitz SUS intake on my car but i also have a wideband 02 and have been tuning for it so i know i'm not running too lean. bryan

i have heard that the up-pipe is the way to go, but it deletes the cat.
i can only assume that it will not pass inspection, or do you guys know some one that does "state inspections". :D |

with out the cat in the uppipe you will still pass inspections
i have even heard people get rid of the cat in the downpipe pass with just the stock midpipe cat piece in place all depends on how you get the car tuned and what not |

but to avoid any confusion the CEL fixes are inexpensive and easy to install, especially for the uppipe. to summarize, the uppipe is a great mod that will not cause you to fail inspection, but it is a long involved install.
