Intake for 2011 GT ?

Is there any recommended intake for 2011 GT ? Also, what type of gains can I expect from just an intake add on?

<crickets> search noob

No intake for the 5th gens yet. There are a few panel filters that are probably not worth getting. KS Tech is currently designing one for us.

No gains. Don't waste your money. A panel filter at most.

Don't get a BOV either.

This,,x100

since there are no maps available, what should be my first mod to experience some gains in torque/hp? Any benefit of putting in a K&N filter?

Contact EFI Logics about getting a stage 1 map if you can't wait on Cobb to release their's.

Since there is no Access port specifically for 2011 model, can I just get the one for 2010.

I believe so otherwise EFI would not be advertising to contact them for a stage 1 map. Maybe when you contact them you could ask them that as well...just a thought.

Read their posts on this page:

You actually posted in the middle of the two posts you should read very closely.

Don't bother. I have to ask, why are you so obsessed with an intake? Do you just want more turbo noise? Are you coming from another car that an intake was very beneficial on?

Go to EFI Logics dyno database and see the results. One 2010 was tuned with a K&N filter at stage 1. All the others have used the OEM airbox and you'll see that the car with the K&N filter is in the middle of the pack. Some cars made more power, some made less. There are probably no gains associated with the use of the filter. When you contact them about getting a stage 1 map you should also ask Pete or Chris his thoughts on the K&N. They have first hand knowledge so call them at 203.748.1115.

Not obsessed with intake but just want to get some noticeable gains without breaking the bank. This is my first turbo car so I'm not sure what advantage an intake will have. I came from a 2004 Accord Coupe and I had Injen CAI on it and I did notice a significant increase in response and torque with CAI compared to stock air box.

Ok that makes sense then. You probably also didn't have to do any tuning for the intake did you?

The stock airbox is not restrictive on these cars like it was on the previous Legacy and WRX/STIs. A cold air intake requires tuning on those cars for safety and to see any gains.

If you really have $50 burning a hole in your pocket my advice is to buy some bushings to firm up the rear diff or transmission area.

I posed this few days back and I was told that there are no bushing for our cars.

For the shifter you can get transmission cross member bushings. Whiteline, Kartboy, and TurninConcepts all make them. I just ordered the Whiteline part KDT901, it's called the Positive Shift Kit. They're pretty much the same just depends on if you want yellow (Whiteline), black (Kartboy), or cherry blossom red (TiC).

A 5-speed (yes, five-speed) Group N transmission mount will fit. Our trans is pretty much the 5-speed from the WRX with an extra gear.

And for the rear diff, try Whiteline rear diff inserts. Part KDT903.

I just ordered these three items but I won't get a chance to install them for a couple weeks.
