almondcookie Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Hey all, Does anyone know what the real story is about the Air Filtration System option that is backordered apparently for 3 months? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feersum dreadnaught Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 It does not exist, and most dealers now say "forget it" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almondcookie Posted February 14, 2005 Author Share Posted February 14, 2005 well what I got was .. and this could be them pulling on my leg .. that some last minute design change took place and because of that all the new filters are on back order. probably 0.00% validity on that huh?

Xenonk Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 it's behind the glove box and it's kinda extensive to install it (gotta take a lot of parts off to get to the actual slot to the filter). Do a search as someone already did a how-to on getting to the filter compartment. Keefe Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firedawgs Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 I ordered my interior filter back in late Nov/early Dec. I just received it a few days ago. I'll tell you what, the install kicked my arsss. I followed the directions, which I thought sucked. It did not take that long just a P-I-T-A. For $35 the filter is pretty small and flimpsy. The only reason I got the filter in the first place is because my wife has alergies, and it made a difference in my WRX I had. SOA recommends to change the filter every other oil change, I say yeah right. Maybe if it was easier to access. Updated my vBGarage: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almondcookie Posted February 22, 2005 Author Share Posted February 22, 2005 so then is it worth it? I remember for my honda it had "in cabin air filter" option and it was suppose to be changed every 30k. Luckily I don't have really bad allergies. The only difference I can see is that a car with an in-cabin filter seems to have less dash dust versus a car that does have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firedawgs Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 If you or your significant other has allergies than yes. If not, keep your money for something better. For a few more dollars you can by a better panel filter that will make your car breath better. Updated my vBGarage: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tu11ym0n Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 I was scheduled to have this installed tomorrow but the dealer called and said that this is no longer being offered due to Subaru discontinuing the kit. he said apparently that Subaru considers the kit defective and so has stopped offering it and is working on a better version. DAMN! my allergies are killing me. anyone else know what the scoop is - especially what kind of timeline we're looking at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeyshack Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 Me to. I wonder what that means for us that got the kit installed? It didnt come that cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tu11ym0n Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 actually i think it's a matter of the service person not knowing about the retrofit kit. I called the Parts dept directly and asked them about the following: AIR FILTRATION RETROFIT KIT SOA342L500 and the parts guy said they could order it. I told him that the service guy told me that the part was discontinued and that Subaru was working on a new one. he then said that there was a tech bulletin that announced the part I was ordering as the replacement part. so i'm now scheduled to get it installed next Wed. case of one hand not knowing about the other.
