Default INDUCTION KITS/ AIR FILTERS

was just wondering how many people have induction kits on their scoobys. have heard alot of people say not to put them on, because it causes fueling problems...

But thinking of getting one to achieve that awesome chattering sound, but don't want to cause problems.

I've heard the same and was recommended not to use an induction kit on mine, so I went for a green panel filter instead.

yeah i think most people go for just the panel filter. not sure if it's worth risking anything. considering i have just had an engine rebuild.

Got the APS CAK and turbo inlet pipe on mine, sounds aggressive as f#ck when I come off the pedal as you can hear the air being dumped into the pipe from under the front wing. Well worth it just for the noise

induction kits can screw up the maf on 99/00 models. Not a problem for me as i'm running without the maf.
afaik the MY98 maf is stronger.

Fitted a Big cone K&N filter on my brothers MY98 STi, Had it sitting on my shelf in my garage for ages as it come off my old car, decided to fit it to see how it would perform and It's made a very nice induction roar(removed the standard inner snorkle out the wing, and put a cold air feed pipe to the filter) So far he has had no problems.

Not unless you want the car to go bang!!!!

If you want to go Maf-less then you need a new Ecu such as Autonics or Simtek etc.

Taking out the resonator in the wing is supposed to make things a bit noisier. Just a Simota panel filter in mine but I will be taking out the resonator next week.

yes although there are loads of others around that do the same thing

again its down to choice a filter will give induction roar but not a great deal else on its own.
