bosco Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 were's the heat shield? i have one on order an parts guy said it comes with it. then i read it does'nt. what is correct? bosco Stay Stock Stay Happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKEBRAVO Posted June 8, 2006 Author Share Posted June 8, 2006 The shield is extra. I just put mine on without it, I'll retro fit it later I couldn't wait. The only thing I can say is if the whooshing of air and the spool of a turbo turns you on buy it:icon_bigg :icon_bigg If you can afford College, you probably don't need to go.

MIKEBRAVO Posted June 8, 2006 Author Share Posted June 8, 2006 Power gain- Its more like throttle responce. It reminds of when I put a pulley on my outback. Seems like it spools faster. Butt dyno- Maybe a little torqe 5-7flb Sound-Way louder if you nail it sounds alot like an STI. Maybe alittle louder:icon_bigg Install- smooth 20 min. The instructions said to remove the air intake scoop but I put it back on looks way better-covers up the hole the resonator made. If you can afford College, you probably don't need to go.

MIKEBRAVO Posted June 8, 2006 Author Share Posted June 8, 2006 I'll have a better idea about performance tomarrow on the way to work. I haven't really stood on it yet- letting the ECU do its thing for a bit. Overall, I am very pleased so far. If you can afford College, you probably don't need to go.

KTM 525 Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 P.S. for all members that have any questions just feel free to ask (I work for Subaru) Has any datalogging been done to compare this intakes MAF readings (G/S) VS the stock airbox?? I think that is the biggest concern here for some of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *Jedimaster* Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Have you heard a K+N Typhoon to compare this one to? My birfday is coming up and I'm thinking either K+N or the SPT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaStaMooN Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Is that a washable/oilable filter? If so, is Subaru going to release a 'cleaning kit' of some sort for it? Jon - vBGarage Profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dvdt Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Looks good! Good idea w/ covering the hole w/ the intake scoop. But I assume this wouldn't work if you had the heat shield, right? Anyone know if this intake is CARB exempt/smog legal in CA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekdut Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Anyone know if this intake is CARB exempt/smog legal in CA? It is. The CARB sticker is included in the package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HansGT Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 TDC once they finish it. I'm thinking that's what I'll do....plus Crucial Up (w/minor change, what ever that is), Crucial Dp, SPT intake w/ heat sheild (using subie bucks ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniStiGuy Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 MikeBravo got his intake from my dealership when I was putting mine on so I have met him in person and talked to him and he is a great guy. There is a Carb sticker that comes with the intake as someone else allready stated. With the heatshield I'm pretty sure you wont be able to use the scoop still but I don't know that for a fact. I'll have to find out about the filter (oil or not) and get back to you guys on that. If I had to say what kind of performance gains it gives I would say with the intake alone and no exhaust (stock turboback) your not gonna feel anything much but it gives better throttle response and maybe 2-3 hp at most so far. I'm certain that with a full turboback installed and a protune you could expect near 50hp+. OEM HID's Rx330 Retro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKEBRAVO Posted June 8, 2006 Author Share Posted June 8, 2006 Looks good! Good idea w/ covering the hole w/ the intake scoop. But I assume this wouldn't work if you had the heat shield, right? Anyone know if this intake is CARB exempt/smog legal in CA? Yes, it is California CARB legal. In fact, there is a sticker in the kit that you are supposed to apply which indicates this. The only exception is for NEW California Vehicles. Covering the hole w/ the intake scoop wasn't my idea it was Ministiguy's, he has one too, and I have to admitt it does look good If you can afford College, you probably don't need to go.

snoman Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Is that a washable/oilable filter? If so, is Subaru going to release a 'cleaning kit' of some sort for it? It is a disposable filter. Subaru will be selling replacement filter media that is pre-oiled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
