I take my filters off with a chain wrench, ratchet and extension bar, no issues. There's not a lot of clearance for a strap wrench or plier type tool. Those Impreza filter size socket tools are the ideal
Expanding and contracting under temperature is the reason they go tight.

Agree jay
KnN filters don't do anything different apart from make your wallet a bit lighter

Genuine Subaru black filter at £8? Or is it a blueprint one?

I’ll take 10 at £8 if it’s the genuine black ones
