kkushner4474 Posted April 10, 2006 Author Share Posted April 10, 2006 so if it's just for nosie reduction it wont effect anything if i rip it off/???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookslikeanevo Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 im thinking it will affect it, due to the fact that its after the MAF and not before Current:MY05 SWP wagon - 253/290 UP, AEM CAI, Invidia Q300, tuned@yimisport OLD: MY06 GRP - 274/314 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rao Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 add waht about the huge box behind the throttle body There needs to be some way for the air to make it to the throttle body. Rob IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR CAR YOU SHOULD NEVER DRIVE IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkushner4474 Posted April 10, 2006 Author Share Posted April 10, 2006 y not a straight hose y the huge box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallispec Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 add waht about the huge box behind the throttle body most likely noise reduction as well..., but i'm not sure.... Doesn't seem easily removeable unless you wanted to bypass the whole thing with an aftermarket intake. otherwise i'd just leave it alone.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallispec Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 y not a straight hose y the huge box my only thought is that it may also have something with directing airflow into the cylinders better.?? less turbulence??? not sure. i wonder if they make a square turbonator that you could put in it.

rao Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 You can use a tube, but you need to account for the several (3 IIRC) pcv hoses that attach to the box. The best bet is to buy one of the available aftermarket intakes which are plug and play.

Aczwild Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Um a good bit of rumble, better gas milage when behaving and as for HP, um prolly not that much, semi, kinda noticible, but enh I know crappy explanation of the power increase, but I havent dyno'd the thing (not worth it), so Im not gonna say numbers, but it helps JDM'd All to hell Thanks Jimmy @ Hkc-Speed.com!

nKoan Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 y not a straight hose y the huge box noise reduction mainly. many 2nd and 3rd gen Legacy (and Impreza RS) intakes do just what you are wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
