Got an Intake Manifold question

Sylon · 02-07-2008, 10:27 PM

This might soound dumb, and I tried searching, but some words are "too common" to search for what I'm looking for.

So anyways, is there a huge difference between the Sti intake manifold and a 2.5i intake manfold? I'm trying to jazz up the look of my engine bay a little bit, and some ideas have been going thru my head.

i was looking for an intake manifold a while back for my 2.5i and was told that the intake manifold on the 06/07 2.5i's is actually one of the best flowing subaru has made so far. I couldnt find any aftermarket stuff anyways. i was mostly interested in a larger volume plenum and it looked like a custom made sheet metal was about my only option. rather spend $800 on some real nice headers and header back exhaust right now then a custom SM intake manifold.

Paint your intake manifold crinkle red. The sti uses the same manifold as the WRX...just the color is different.

And yes, the 05+ with the stacked runners on the intake manifold is probably the best flowing manifold for N/A cars Subaru ever bothered to put in the ej-series...
