MDW25gt Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I dont understand all the hype of putting a chrome tube from the throttle body to the air box?? What am I missing? Guess it looks kinda snazzy?? I put a K&N panel in the box, removed the snorkus and let her rip. No codes! Snappier throttle response. Also borla header and full Stromung exhaust.

hawker800mech Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Here's mine. The other tube guys have with the 'T' at the throttle body looks better to me. Has a nice growl and seems a little peppier. http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e311/hawker800mech/DSC00611.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaldebris Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Cool so it does look like this one will work... and I guess you can find it in black. http://images.andale.com/f2/123/120/20768948/1154311636125_SR_IMPR_9899_NT_BK.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawker800mech Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 It's an okay piece. Not the best, but works. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/97-01-SUBARU-IMPREZA-L-2-5RS-AIR-FILTER-INTAKE-98-99-R_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ38634QQihZ017QQitemZ270025708244 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMBIVALENCE Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 wow!! it's so cheap too!! this is amazing. did u change the filter too? Just the pipe alone does it make any difference? No need for cutting or anything? Plug and play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawker800mech Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 wow!! it's so cheap too!! this is amazing. did u change the filter too? Just the pipe alone does it make any difference? No need for cutting or anything? Plug and play? Not plug and play, unfortunately. You have to take about an inch or so off the end that goes into the filter box. They have a hose nipple that needs to be cut down by half because it is too long. It is located on the bottom by the filter box and hits the green bracket of death. I just capped that one. You will need to buy a 3" silicone coupler for the intake at the filter box. I went ahead and got a 3" to 2.75" silicone coupler for the throttle body. The one supplied was hoaky. Also, a 1/2" T-fitting and 1/2"-3/8" barbed fittings are needed for the case and head oil vent hoses. As for the filter, I did go with a K&N filter. I, also, removed the silencer below the intake box (twist and pull). You will need to leave the bolt at the bottom of the intake box out so it can pivot to meet the intake tube.

AMBIVALENCE Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 sounds so difficult... =( I dont know anything about T-fitting, and barbed fitting... Sound alien language to me... You must have did a lot of study to get it working... With such a low price, this is definitely cool! Well, i have a friend that opens a garage, he had cutting tool, i think i could get some help from him =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also borla header and full Stromung exhaust. from K&N "A smooth intake tract optimizes airflow and uses fluid dynamic principles to pack more air into your car’s intake." The more oxygen there is available to your cylinders, the more fuel they can potentially burn. translation.....better air flow=more power better looks are a plus too!!

AMBIVALENCE Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 so, ldc, how much percent would you rate the effectiveness of filter compare to pipe? 100%: Pure look 75:25? 50:50? 25:75? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldc2335 Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 even if it looked like $HIITT i would still be using it, it made a huge difference....pulls alot harder, i took off the pipe when i took it to the dealer and for the week it was off i missed it.. only cost like 75 bucks at the most....very worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaldebris Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 yeah I'd agree... I only put about $40 into mine... minus the K&N.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMBIVALENCE Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 so intake works. And digitaldebis, u made yours with the black pipe? Any pics? The $15 seems to be a good deal even after i took account of shipping into canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digitaldebris Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I'm pretty sure the one you've listed under "unknown" is the same one that hawker800mech used... just in black.... and it does seem all tubes will have to be cut about 1" to 1 1/2"s to fit with the stock airboxes.

AMBIVALENCE Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 For all the pipes that works, they have the common problem: 1. They all need to be cut about 1" to 1 1/2"s to fit with the stock airboxes. 2. They all have engine light problem. Anyone can continue to add on or correct me if i am wrong?

(Thx Digitaldebris) sorry to be a richard crainium... but apparently none of them really work without some kind of piggyback ecu. my heart and desire to mod grows weary. I will say that i appreciate everyone that has had the balls to try, but it seems like such a hassle with the F'ing intake. it may be best for me to focus my efforts and money towards a cat-back.
