I've got a 2004 WRX all stock, except exhaust and I was looking for some recommendations on what kind of intake to get. I'm just looking to get my car to breathe easier. Also, I was thinking about taking out the intake silencer for a little more turbo noise. Any and all feedback is much appreciated. Thanks
http://mnsubaru.com/threads/first-modifications-faq.10698/#post-190187 Save your money. There is zero benefit for a mildly modded stock turbo car. Your best bet would be to save up and get an uppipe and downpipe and a tune for Stage2 from one of the local tuners.
Intake doesn't do much for your cat besides noise. There are better options for performance and the money. What sort of a price range are you looking to spend?
Spend a few hundred dollars on a decent uppipe and a decent downpipe. Just remember, they are all just pipes. As long as the welds are good, and fitment is alright, you're fine. They all move exhaust the same way through them really. Then install them and give someone like Ron down at RS Motors, or Nuke at NF Performance a call. They can get you tuned for your new parts so you can not only make that extra power, but do so without blowing up your engine.
get an ebay silicone inlet. they are like $80 and have read on nasioc that they are compare to the perrin or samco ones. its smooths up spool
