mk6933 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Hey Guys, So I found a company that make intakes for our N/A engines. I set up a GI-GB for the intakes in the Group Buy section. We can finally get some extra rumble from our engines Cosmo Racing Intakes GB I am no intake specialist, but just want a intake for my car, any thoughts?

Monwells Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I thought the legacy 2.5 sohc didnt like to have a cold air intake done on it. I know mine didnt like it and i was getting all sorts of funky readings from my ecu about cels it was throwing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk6933 Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 Well, the one that Cosmo Racing offers is specifically made for 05-07 & 08-09. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legacyduane Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 It's has more response. And makes a huge suction noise sounds really good. I love it and would recommend to anyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnout8488 Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Your car is slower with that intake on. You lost torque. Throttle response might seem snappier but that's about it. You're just getting sound. Factory airbox has been proven time and time again to be the best solution....unless you just enjoy having a modified engine bay. Not trying to sound harsh, it's just the truth. The "torque box" in front of your throttlebody is there for a reason! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEE-OTTO Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Don't do this. Stick to stock or make a hybrid intake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KurtP Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Please tell me all this "your car is slower with an intake" stuff is actually backed up by real dyno information and not another "intakes and exhausts dont make power until 400whp" type crap. http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1156560 Id be curious to know how putting an intake on the 2.5i legacy is different than doing it to a 2.5i impreza....please educate if I am wrong. With numbers and proof. Not "my buddy's buddy who knows some guy at a shop said on another forum" Again, im not a NA expert by any means, but Ive been looking at putting a high flow cat and an intake on my 2.5i imp. wagon for some extra oomph and in quick searching, all I find are gains....any one have recent, reliable, conflicting data to show otherwise?

N.sane Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 It's not a power thing actually. There are gains, just a bit of a drawback from a standstill... I'm going to do my standard spiel here and chime in with some actual data. On a 05+ Impreza, a full SRI will flow 10-15% more air depending on where you are in the rev range. The majority of the gains are from 4k to redline. HOWEVER, any intake with bypasses or eliminates the snorkus (big gourd looking thingy in the fender, so I'm talking about ALL SRIs, CAIs, and snorkus deletes here) will screw up the MAF calibration and cause the car to run VERY, VERY rich under certain conditions. Depending on the car and the exact conditions, this can be anything from just a "bog" on the low end to the car rich-stalling, bucking, and belching black smoke.

Vinny78 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 i just modified and kn typoon intake short ram for my car, its made for gt legs. Seems to be working fine the way i have it but in the morning now its hard to start, i get a gas smell even after reseting the ecm when i put the inatke on? People at my work said it might not be the intake doing it maybe a sticking injector flooding out the car when it sits any suggestions. once car starts its fine idles good and runs good?

LegacyWGTW05 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Do they run correctly? Rich or lean? Because on the GT models the SPT & AVO cold air intake ones run lean or rich to people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEE-OTTO Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 You only need to look at Willaty's post on NASIOC anything but a stock or hybrid = FAIL. And no intake helps a stock EJ253 the intake lobes won't take in more air because its coming in and available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justcustoms05 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I'd like to see a version of this hybrid intake. I was looking into getting a short ram intake but if I'm going to LOSE torque by getting rid of the torque box no matter how ugly it may be I'll stick with it. I was hoping for more power gain than that of a K&N drop in filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
