Hi,
I have a my99 with a scooby sport back box, will replacing the airflter with the Subaru replacement one make any difference.
The cars in for a service today so thought may be good time to have them put it on, but is it worth it?????

Dave.

 

Hi Dave

I had an ITG panel filter put in at the last service. The engine definitely breathes easier but oddly enough, it's made my Scorpion BB a bit quieter.

Cheers

Spent a load of cash on a Blitz SUS panel filter but I have to say I don't notice the difference over the normal Subaru paper one

 

ITG panel definately made a differance. No lag between up changes.

ITG is the way to go....
Scoobysport £40 + vat
Cheers

 

have you taken out the resonator box which is inside the wing, i know this makes a difference

The filter was sucked into the engine, neatly compressed, spat into the exhaust and now firmly resides in the Scorpion where it does a commendable job of reducing noise!!
I have a K&N panel filter and find no discernable difference?

Thanks for the replies.
I did have them replace the filter with there sporty one (whatever its called) and I have got to say it has made quite a difference. It seems to be more responsive throughout gear changes and pulling away. Also I can stay in 5th gear a lot longer now.
Seems to be a worthy upgrade.
Also in this post you mention removing the resonator, what does that do?

Cheers,

Dave.

 

What type did the dealer fit then?
How much was it?
I've got a my00 with a scoobysport back box same as you..wouldn't mind changing my air filter to get some more air in.
