I got a K&N Typhoon on my 03 sti Fits and sounds awesome behind the bumper.

dont bother unless your going for over 350 bhp, stick with the standard airbox or you will end up losing power!!

Otherwise a K&N you cant go wrong with. The problem the the blitz filter is that because its a mesh filter small particals can sometimes get into it and then into the engine!
Apexi are also supposed to be very good though

ah right, losing power due to heat soak or just because you will need to upgrade the ecu etc to match the induc. Kit?

Due to heatsoak. You can make a cold air feed to make it a little better which is what I have done.

Don't do it, you are wasting your cash. Unless you have a front mount or 400 brake you will be wasting your time and money. An enlcosed IK kit with a cold feed is just the same as an OE air box at the end of the day.

Agreed but my car came with the IK and no airbox, which is why I enclosed it and fitted a cold air feed.

Buy an air box then you tight git

I might get slaughtered for this but I do quite like the roar of an induction kit.

Plus the louder recirc.

Yep know what your mean, they do sound good. I have a frount mount so I have a valid reason as well.

Nice motor you have sir

thats what im getting at with the roar of an induction kit...a bloke who lives around my way has a 97 wrx with a little exhaust on it but has an induction kit and it sounds cracking! i have a ninja II exhaust on my wrx and was wondering if fitting a kit would create a nice roar on opening up?

You could always remove the pipes that are inside the wing and fit a good filter, this gives you some more noise.

Thanks

When I looked at yours with no spoiler I thought you may not like my slightly more in your face version!!

Not to mention the non standard front.

Me too Got an A'PEXi Power Intake on mine and love it

wrx21

so whats the general opinion shoudl i get an induction kit to add more noise to compliment the Exhaust or should i leave it?

if the opinion is to get one what make?

Davros 1979

Only you can decide that. What do you want more, a bit more noise or maybe losing a few BHP. Plus the afr may not be correct after fitting one.

I would go with K & N. Good filtration and not to oiled.

T5OLF

No, I like that spoiler on the 2 door cars. I would change the bumper if it was mine but other than that very nice.

wrx21

dont want to lose bhp at all tbh...no point in that is there,lol

i dont know then....... bit of a bugger i think! i think a induction kit would give it grunt but at the expense of bhp is it worth it?

Cheers mate

I quite like the fact that the bumper is different. Plus its not too offensive, like some kits I have seen.

You could always do as T5OLF says and take the resonator out and replace the panel filter with an uprated one. If its still not loud enough then go down the IK route.

wrx21

resonator?

Davros 1979

The pipework in the wing that leads to the airbox.

wrx21

i knew that...just making sure you did! lol
