mrbrashear Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Hey there ive been looking alot on the internet about intakes for legacys and im seeing when you put a cone filter on it makes the MAF sensor read wrong voltages and makes the air/fuel ratio very rich. When i bought mine it had a small cone filter put in and i also had 2 error codes 23 and 49 both for the maf sensor. So i went to a junkyard and got a new air box and now i have no codes, but i was wondering if i could just replace the plastic tube with metal piping(Hybrid intake). Has anyone done this on a 1st gen and if so were could i get the piping. Ebay has the whole system for like 170 but i just need the 40 dollar piping any ideas?

Legacy Wagon Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Why would you want to? You want to put a cone filter inside of the box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbrashear Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 no i just want metal piping from the maf sensor to the manifold because the cones cause rich air fuel mixtures. I just need the 3" piping and couplers but cant find any. What do you run for intake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy Wagon Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I see. So you just got the box, but no piping? I mean it'll have to be something that has the same bend. I'd say see if ebay sells a cheaper kit. You just need a knockoff at that point and then you can cut the piping to suit your needs. Or keep looking for the stock plastic piping in junk yards. And yeah, the cone filters can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbrashear Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 looked on ebay and only the expensive kits for my car i seen some for the newer subies for cheap but im not sure if they will fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbrashear Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 they were selling just the piping for the 2000 and up subies for like 40 bucks but it said it would not work for a 1991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy Wagon Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Yeah, I'm not really sure what are compatible either. Sorry that I cant help you there. And 40 bucks for some piping is ridiculous. Unfortunately all the intakes on the Legacy's down here have been ripped apart too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poonhandler Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 You can always go to autozone or anyplace like that and buy all the seperate pieces. Spectres the brand I'm pretty sure. Don't know how good those are... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sqc151 Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 if u dont want future problems, leave the stock intake. its the best out there for subarus anyway. your not driving a civic, so leave the spectres and autozone stuff alone. your wasting ur money and time trying to get power out of these cars. if you want to FEEL any power. do suspension mods, thats where these cars start to shine.

92.Legacy.SS Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 or just get the ej22T modle you can put a cone filter on them and not have any problems with running rich unless your car is the turbo modle lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy Wagon Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I think he's just looking for a replacement for stock, guys. I think he couldnt find what he needed in a junk yard and just wants it back to normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbrashear Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 yeah i just wanted the piping to make it look nice i wasnt going to change the filter at all i just found the stock airbox and it runs alot smoother than the little cone filter did and now i dont have any ecu codes. No big deal really just thought it would look nicer with stainless pipe rather than the old black plastic tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbrashear Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 where could i find those hell cams at baddog? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baddog Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Should've said "Hell, cams" Delta Cams in Tacoma,Washington can do regrinds for under $200. You will have to send them your cams or send them a core. Pretty good turn around times. You have to be capable of pulling the engine apart sort of.

mrbrashear Posted July 24, 2011 Author Share Posted July 24, 2011 thats not a bad price, depending on the rocker set up it should be kinda easy i believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
