Cheers,
Nick
P.S. If you think that is expensive, then just don't Phone Grahame Goode about their 'Tweeked' version

I believe you can get a similar kit to the GGR one from STi in Japan, only that's about twice the price. The only difference with the GGr one is that they use a larger K&N cone. It's certainly not cheap but like I say, less than half the STi price.

About the K+N Generation II induction kits, I was led to believe that there wasn't going to be a version produced for any turbo Impreza. I first heard this from a performance parts reseller last year, subsequent enquiries to other dealers have given me the same answer. I finally asked a K+N tech guy at this years Autosport show who confirmed it. The 2 kits available at present are for the Impreza Sport and a Peugeot model. He went on to explain these cars benefit greatly from having the filter boxed in, but Impreza turbo models showed little or no gains over the current kit, so K+N had no plans to manufacture one.
Bummer I say, as it looks quite cool.
Cube.

Huxley,
this one www.filterpower.com quotes the same price
Im sure you could get it a lot cheaper. Got mine as a 1 off trade price, it came to about £69 including vat (Uk MY00 btw). That is one fat profit margin

Huxley,
Sorry m8 am here...just
if you use the filterpower website above its £93 odd sorry delivered, better than the £110 u were quoted.
Speak to Croydon Road and Rally in Croydon, Surrey, I know for UK cars they were doing them for a little over £80 the other week.
