GULLABLE0NE Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 i need some advice on intakes for my 08 LGT. originally i was just gonna put a drop-in k&n filter but now i'm thinking i should just get a CAI or SRI. i poked around and only found like 2 cold airs, 2 shrot rams, and 2 drop ins. i know i'll get slight gains from the CAI, slightly less with the SRI and even less with the drop-in. i wanna know what you guys are running? any driving differences, if any? and the type of sound from the intakes? also will you hear any difference with a drop-in?

CTATV Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 until you do other major mods should just get an AVO drop-in filter. no oil is better than the K&N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C_randyjones Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Rule of thumb is that the drop in for our cars is about equal in gain to the CAI, which is still not much. It helps more if you are stage 2 or 3. Just go with the drop in for now. The CAI pickup too much hot air under the hood, but they do allow for a lot of turbo sound. If you go with one of those I would recommend one with a good heat shield or intake box. COBB has one that utilizes the factory snorkel to bring in some cold air. I modified a COBB SF intake box to fit my AVO intake but it was a PITA. i hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This obviously could cause you major issues. Just my $0.02. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GULLABLE0NE Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 well i was leaning towards the drop-in because i don't have the patience to install an actual intake. i saw hat there is also a perrin drop-in. any difference between the perrin and the avo? (quality, cost, etc.) also are these drop-ins able to be cleaned and reused like the k&n? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKLGT Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 go with whatever one is cheaper. And really, as everyone has pointed out, don't go with an intake unless you are either tuned for it or have a larger turbo. No gains at all, just loud noise and making your car lean.

fonts Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 All quite similar with minor differences. I was running a Perrin before. No issues at all. Think that the Perrin is a little less expensive. Think the AVO is slightly higher quality. In all honesty they are both a good product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKLGT Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 should also look at K&N if they have them. Wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle yeah!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(quality, cost, etc.) also are these drop-ins able to be cleaned and reused like the k&n? An intake takes like 30 min to install, max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTATV Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 there ya go. I love my setup with no intake silencer and an AVO drop in, will probably stay that way for good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgray Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 No doubt the car will run margnailly leaner then without an intake. and so will 99% of other cars on the market that people put Aftermakret intakes on. Many poeple have been runnign intakes on the legacys for many miles, problem free. I know there will be a big reaction to this, but lots of people run them, with no tune, aad get many problem free miles with them.... Just take that into consideration....of course it will run lean..all stock cars with a larger inlet intake will... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiscoWagon Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I can do it in 20 mins. I can do a Subaru engine swap in one day. (Done twice) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infamous1 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Just take that into consideration....of course it will run lean..all stock cars with a larger inlet intake will... No, all MAF based cars run the risk of running lean. The problem is you don't know how lean you could be running without a wideband. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcTec34 Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 ..so get an avo drop in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgray Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 it comes down to being your car. Go with the majority, or try the intake out, see how the car runs, and go from there. they are fairly cheap, and easy to sell, give it a shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
