Don't bother with an induction kit, unless you need one because of a FMIC for example.

Waste of money and the standard airbox is good enough for over 420bhp.... just get an uprated panel filter.

All in my honest opinion of course.

Hi, I also have a WRX 01 Bug Eye and was also looking at induction kts and panel filters. I think I'm just going to go for a new filter to start with. I've been looking at the K&N filters, are these the best to go for or are there others out there that people would recommend? I noticed someone else on here had the sane car and a "Green panal filter" is this a brand name and are they any good?

Thanks...

Green and K&N are both good, but musn't be over oiled if you don't want to replace the MAF, alternatively Subaru's own STi (disposeable filter) gets good reviews!

I have had a KN panel filter on mine for 7 months now, no problems at all. As I have a MY99 the MAF is notoriously weak and its been fine. As previously said just don't over oil it and it will be good for 350bhp.

So does this mean I have to oil it before fitting it? I presumed it would just be a straight swap? Is it a special type of oil and does this have to be done on a regular basis?

NO! do not oil it, it comes pre-oiled. Just give it a light oil at service intervals. You can buy a 're-charge' kit from KN, basically a light oil in a tin, just use it sparingly along the grooves on the element.
