Why do you want to sap power? If you want one, there are better filters.

Use the search, do some research.

You wont gain any power on an Impreza and you may also sap some torque.

Unless you are going for way over 300bhp, your stock airbox with a good panel (K&N) will be more effective in reducing heat soak. It gets damn hot under the lid, and you wont have a cold air feed if you put a cone in.

As I said, use the search, there are thousands of posts on this.

Ooh, Ooh Dark Blue Marks back on the scene. Good to see you, i guess the S2000 has gone then ???

P. S Agree with what your saying. Induction kits are a waste of time, make too much noise, gulp air and confuse the eCU load calculations. Only worth chaging if running 360BHP+ and mapped accordingly.
