Cold air induction kit - please help
 

Hi
I am looking to make my 2.5 WRX a little louder as it is very quiet and have been told to replace the air induction kit. I have been looking around and there are lots of different prices so I am unsure what is good and what I should avoid. Can any one help please?

I looked on ebay and found the following. Not sure if you can view the link and let me know if this kit would be ok please? Thanks

A snorkusectomy is probably a good idea too.....as the Snorkus does it's job of quietening rather well.

This is what comes out of a Forester for example:

I would not change it at all, It will hurt performance in a bad way. I ran the air box on mine right upto 400bhp before having to replace it due to Front mount inter cooler. If I could I will still run it! :)

You would be better off saving and changing the backbox/exhaust system fully. you can get away without a re-map changing just the backbox, changing the downpipe/ cats etc will require a re-map. getting an STI up-pipe to replace the existing WRX one is also a step in the right direction ;)

Exhaust noise is better than induction noise anyway ;)

Thanks.

I would rather not re-map the car, so I should look into replacing the exhaust back box then?

Should I be looking for anything in particular (Sorry, very blonde lol)

If you have a new age and can wait a month I will have a standard 2.5" piped 5" backbox for sale when my new system gets fitted :ok:

Thanks. I have an Impreza WRX 2.5L (2006) Hawkeye if that helps.

I am in no rush, so can wait. Would that make my car sound nice?

Thanks

Well sure one of the other peeps will let you know if it fits - mines a bug, and mine sounds nice with a good burble...pm me ur email if you want some pics...and once it's off I'll send you some more and you can let me know if you want it... New exhaust being fitted 25th April so that's when we be available if you want it :ok:

I would stay away from an inducton kit then, as it can lead to running rich or lean. My 2.5 ran rich until it was remapped.

Thanks for the advice :-)

Rdlangly's will fit fine ;)

Cheers dave

:worthy:

:agreed: with the above. :doubleup:
