I am going to and order a few from Scooby Sport (For me and some friends, MY01 WRX). What do you guys think of them? How is the filtration? Performance?

TIA,
Ken

I had one on my 99MY and replaced it with a K&N as I was fed up with the thick slimmy blue gunk in the airbox. Last service there was about a tablespoon of it. I have always rum K&N on my bikes for the last 20 years and they are still the best.

Question

I'm confused about these panel filters

Do they actually improve performance at all?
Any increases in induction noise?

Oh, and how much do they cost?

Cheers

Yes, there is a performance increase, and yes, there is a more defined and and graphic induction sound. (ITG in MY94 WRX/STi)
I suppose that something like a cone will give even greater increases, but to have a flow increase, you have to trade filtration, which is fine if you are able to use it tactfully, ie only fit it in extreamly low dust conditions.
Remember also that by removing the existing scoob airbox + inner wing, your car will be more at risk from higher intake temperatures at standstill or in trafic.
At first, I wanted to fit a Blitz, because i knew it would probably give the most exiting performance increase, but in the end i didnt want to reduce the cars all road, all weather ability etc.etc. by confining it to extreamly low dust conditions, and excessivly avoiding traffic so I went for the ITG, as it seems to be the favorite and most well documented and have had no problems yet.

I pulled out the stock resonator, and funnel.
Installed the K&N, and a section of hose pulling air from the wheel well. I then cut a sheet of white plastic, and covered the emply hole to the fender to reduce the amount of warm engine air getting into the intake.
The car responds a lot better, and pulls a little harder.

In route is a BPM downpipe/single cat/mid pipe and back box. I have an EVC4 that will be going in once that is received.

I also have a set of Cusco Zero1 coilovers,whiteline rear 22mm sway bar and an anti lift kit coming in shortly as well.

Already fitted are OZP1s and Kumho 712s.
I love this car.

Ken
