Accessport...Stock Intake Required?!?!?

311grassroots · 03-24-2005, 01:15 AM

So....does anybody have any suggestions for somebody who would want to buy an Acessport but already has an APS Intake in place and does not want to pay Subaru to reinstall the stock airbox? Would the StreetTuner Fix this?

Reinstall the stock airbox yourself.

Street tuner can definitely take care of it. YOu'll just need to tune to the intake, that's all.

I have a Cobb Stage 2 STi with an APS CAI. The 65 mm one. I haven't had any problems with it. You don't need to fine tune your car if you get the AP and have an APS CAI on it. Getting a Street Tuner isn't a bad idea though. It will net another few hp or two, but not necessarily from the intake alone.

Putting in the stock intake would be far less expensive than the ST especially considering whether or not you're able to tune the car yourself.

I put down 240whp in 100 degree Texas summer heat with the stock airbox and filter.

I have the same exact setup, and I have no problems at all.

I know of at least one guy over at wrxforums.com that ran that intake with the AP no problem. I ran the K&N typhoon with it and it was fine as well. Not lean.

Pretty much everyone with a K&N Typhoon reports no problems at all.

Here's some evidence that a properly designed intake should not need special tuning if you have a Cobb AccessPort reflash. This is an e-mail reply I got asking about the new Cobb intake that is coming out soon:

Keep an eye on www.cobbtuning.com for further product information.

Cobb released Injen CAI specific maps, so you're good.

Yeah, only for WRX's, not for the STi
