So I'm looking to get some wheels for the spring and summer but I'm debating now on size, 18", 19" or 20".

 

I'm in Northern NJ and there are pot holes. Should I just get the 20", be careful and accept the ride comfort it will have? I will also lower the car about 1 inch.

 

I know it's mostly my personal preference on what to choose but why are most people not going to 20"?

This person is on IG and told me his are 20" and fenders are rolled.

that looks nice. ride quality will be harsh with low profile tires and lowering springs though. BUT, it looks bad@ss.

I have not torn apart the air filter yet to see what's inside my new 2017 Legacy, but I'm assuming it has one of those charcoal PZEV filters in the back of the air intake?

 

If I'm wrong, please correct me.

 

If it does, then has anyone noticed an increase in performance (low end torque), or perhaps even increased gas mileage (a little) by removing the PZEV charcoal filter, the OEM air filter, then installing a K&N, or AEM air filter alone?

 

I searched this thread, but not many results after searching for charcoal filter, or K&N/AEM filter usage. Just wondering what all your thoughts are. Lots of supercharger talk, and Takeda intake stuff, but not much on just air filters.

 

Also, does removing the charcoal filter void the warranty? If so, doesn't installing a Takeda intake do the same?

my 2013 2.5i was a pzev. i think you're supposed to keep the charcoal filter on to keep it from throwing codes because the ecu is calibrated differently from regular 2.5i cars. someone correct me if i'm wrong.

on that note, i just dropped a k&n filter.
