What are the best induction kits for the hatch. I'm looking for one with a decent sound to it too

 

In my experience of induction kits on Imprezas, they have very little impact on induction noise. If I was to get another Impreza, I would be looking at a panel filter

 

I have the AEM kit and it definitely does not have the usual induction "roar" you can experience on other cars. I Had a decent panel filter before and have noticed little difference between the two.

 

I have the cosworth one on mine, and the noise is a massive difference.

 

i had the forge caik on my hatch and the induction noise was very noticeable,quite liked it,you could hear the oem re-circ valve quite clearly through it.

 

But If that's the sound your after beware. It will probably be a muffled darth vader breathing type noise. Nothing like a child scaring vta being pumped out the bonnet scoop

 

I have the Mishimoto fitted to mine and I get the same effect (sounds like a VTA on full chat), looks like the OP has a few options to choose from

 

yeh i agree,its not as in your face but still there.i guess each to their own.ive recently sold my hatch and moved over to the dark side and the noises that makes are pretty different.

 

I've heard some really good things about the mishimoto kits. Good sound, good power increase and they look nice.
I've seen them around the £180 mark. Is that a decent price for them?

 

Yeah, I got mine from eBay when I had a 20% voucher and I reckon I paid around that. Mine made 370bhp, with a forged engine and H&S decat so the Mishimoto isn't restrictive

In fact the place I got mine from is offering it for 180 (Bugger! )

What else have you done to get that sort of power?
Is yours an STI?

 

I made my own up as I wanted a copy of bob Rawles induction kit as its 80mm all the way ,, RCM trumpet and K&N , and custom 80mm maf housing ,, been fine @ 420bhp and should be fine next week when I increase the boost over 1bar

 

Yup, 08 STi. Rebuilt engine with forged pistons, induction kit, Full H&S 2.5" decat exhasut, HRC fuel pump and a Bob Rawle map.
