Yours being a 98 I don't believe its as much of an issue as it is for MY99/00 cars.

99/00 cars have this fragile maf which can **** the engine up. I think the one with the green blob of paint is the more robust one - least that was what colour the one I bought for mine was.

I'd be interested in the answer to this one cause i think i need a new one, why do yhey have different colour labels, did subaru modify them through the years, do they only work in a specific model/year car???

Forget it. Just use the correct one for your car - it's too much of a ball ache. Probably.

If the worng MAF is fitted, the way it sends it's output voltage to the ECU may differ to the OEM one, for example, etc, etc....
