Had mine well over a year,not had chance to fit yet,I've taken the car off the road now so I'll be doing it before I start using it again.
Awful system is the Subaru abs!
Is it pretty straight forward to do Rick?

Easy job mate.i did mine in work on a Saturday morning. Basically just two T pieces find a good spot to mount them .The two pipes from master cylinder go into the top of each T Piece then plug fronts in to one T Piece And the backs in the other. mine was a bit of a rushed job its my daily driver and had mot day after at work.

Don't you have covers over your vents?

Pretty sure they don't do much tbh,I think a proper cold air feed is needed to benefit.
Maybe they might help get rid of some heat from under the bonnet but even then I'm not sure you would gain much/anything?
Plus I'm fmic so heat soak isn't a problem.

They look crap imo. If you want cold air flow, do it either from fog light with a tube coming out of inner wing or morrette light intake etc
