CMyLGT Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Do either the STI or Forster XT intakes from Cobb fit our Legacies? I haven't been able to find an intake as cheap ($150) as those so I was wondering if they would fit our cars seeing as they have the same engine.

HansGT Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I don't think so. Is the intake one of your first mods? If so, it's not worth it. The stock set up is plenty good. Just get a drop in filter from AVO or Perrin to get the intake sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stash360 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I noticed that too. I wish COBB would get on that one and make us an intake. In the mean time I think the SPT or the AVO would work fine (K&N is in the ballpark too). Does anyone know if cold air intakes mess with the fuel/air mix enough to get the car re-tuned after installation, or is it a bolt-on-and-go thing?

ssekien Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I think the general consensus is that if you're sticking any new intake on the car (with the exception being panel filters) you should probably be tuned for it. Panel filters = no tune Anything else (short ram, cold air, etc) = tune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panel filters = no tune Anything else (short ram, cold air, etc) = tune +1 (SPT actually makes less power then the OEM air box on the stock tune...see Cobb's test results...do a search on SPT intake) http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39773 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMyLGT Posted December 22, 2006 Author Share Posted December 22, 2006 Hey, no that isn't my first mod, I just got quite a few things (STI TMIC, VF34, STI intake mani, HKS SSQV, Autospeed TBE) but i don't have an intake yet, and i want one before i put all this stuff in and get it tuned. I will probably just go with the panel filter and maybe remove the intake silencer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panel filters = no tune Anything else (short ram, cold air, etc) = tune the K&N typhoon intake and AEI CAI are show to add power without tune. Check TDC's intake test. I have a K&N typhoon and ran without a tune for awhile. They don't lean out the mix. I now have a TDC stage one tune for the K&N. I only heard people talk about it "may" need a tune after modds.

Wait... which one? This thread? http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49554 If so... this is what he said: "For now ill show you an AEM Intake on my TMIC E tune VS my AEM TMIC E-tune ill let the data show what i saw: Lower MAF V= reads from lower Load sites Untuned Leads to LEAN mixtures and tries to run ALOT more timing You can see where it tries to advance and knocks " Untuned, the AEM CAI was knocking... after the tune, it was fine. Which leads me to believe, unless you want to run your car to knock, you'd want to tune for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsme Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 I'm sorry I only glanced and the thread. So that make the Typhoon the only safe one.

CMyLGT Posted January 6, 2007 Author Share Posted January 6, 2007 Well nobody answered my original question, why wouldn't the Forester or STI intakes from Cobb work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noam Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 FWIW, I've had the Cobb (prototype?) LGT intake on my car... My hearing has finally recovered. It was much louder than the AEM intake I now have on my car. It is hard to do an exact apples-to-apples comparison on the performance, but they are comparable on my car (~300 whp).
