Default Inlet Manifolds

Hi all,

I'm rotating my inlet manifold another day and figured whilst I'm at it I may aswell upgrade the inlet as I am still currently on stock WRX one with TGV etc...

My questions are

1) Which Versions will fit my V7 ? (Or is it just V7's that will fit??)
2) Are they all the Versions the same performance wise?
3) are aftermarket inlets like the below worth it or not at my stage (450BHP)

Don't bother upgrading bro, standard inlet is more than up to the job

It's worth upgrading to an STI inlet manifold to get rid of the TGV's - many people see 30bhp gains just by removing the TGV's - my old WRX bug made an extra 29bhp off just this mod and a map tweak

You can but the standard ecu wont run the dbw setup, thats the main issue. If you are already on the dbw setup as standard then no issue rotating the inlet

Hi Sam

I wouldn't fit above inlet manifold,this manifold run my friend on his car and he cracked after 3 months,this Inlet manifold is copy of Magnus,I think Magnus running SteveBT from here

I would go as above guys suggest STI V7-V8 earlier types and non DBWmif its budget then JDM Inlet manifold V7-V8 are best



Thanks,Jura
