Default worth buying one of these....?

i do actually need one, but is it worth forkin out for this one or just save my cash and get a 2nd hand standard one...? its about £70 btw


MRT Inlet Plenum Pipe
Suitable for 1993 to 1996 Subaru Imprezas. Also early model Legacy Turbos. It replaces the standard factory plastic resonator part which is quite restrictive to airflow. Although a small increase in induction noise may be heard, low end torque and high RPM throttle response will be significantly improved. Made completely from steel with powder coated black finish.

i made one out of drain pipe on my old legacy was a perfect fit, but had a tendancy to melt if it wasn't insulated can't remember where i put the pipe that runs in to it though

i'd definitely ditch the standard plastic thing though

lol good work!!

well I bought a standard airbox, and waited about 3 weeks for an sti panel filter from sti racing, went to look at fitting it, and realised I was missing something! iv only had the car a few weeks!

If its gonna be worthwhile forking out £70 on a bit of platic, i will buy it if it will be an improvement on the standard part.

Cheers

I have one fitted to my legacy, i got it from a chap who makes them in OZ, i noticed an increase in induction noise and nice smooth pick-up. The main diffence was the increase in recirc, BOV noise.

I paid 20 quid for mine though and the quailty was awesome
