Litte red - best for street
Velocity stack - best for strip When do the BBS's go on!

Sorry, I don't walk on water. Unless it's a frozen lake, then I could walk on that...
Here are some more photos of the filters. |

I tried on the intakes last night. Didn't get anywhere testing them though.

I like the fine mesh. Just cool you can see the compressor fins imo lol, not sure how it would affect flow compared to the others though. Let us know how they test out!
Also, how is the daily drivability with the side exit exhaust? |

The side exit exhaust is quite loud on cold start. When the idle is high, it is much louder than your average exhaust. Once the car is warm and the idle drops down, then the car isn't much louder than your average fart can exhaust. |

You'd be surprised how much that mesh will hold things back
My mesh screen was a full 2 psi back to back on my 68. It also breaks down super quick. At least the one I had. The turbo tried to suck it in even when it was super tight. Different screens but still looks similar. Sent from my iPhone using NASIOC |

Compared to what? Open inlet or a filter?

Are we voting? I like the short one with the hole in the middle. It looks like it could be a fog light. I'd be too afraid to drive around with just a screen.

I am hoping that either the KN or the other short one will be decent. Or even better, the honeycomb one (but I am doubting that). My fear is that I'll find that all the small filters are terrible and I really need to run a big giant cone to get performance anywhere near an open inlet. |

its not a hole, its just a small cone i think
the big cone isn't so bad looking as expected. maybe get the fog cover and cut them to fit around it, do you need a cone that big? is there one smaller but bigger than the others? regardless, i think you should spray the polished/chrome finishes black. less attention. wish your cold side was black too for ultimate stealth. next time |

Forward facing and a velocity stack would prob show the best gains. I believe a large quality filter will be much better then the mesh due to surface area also though when it comes to protecting things. Sent from my iPhone using NASIOC |

Here are the results from my intake filter testing.

The 04 STI BBS wheels are gone, and in their place is a set of black 17x9" +45 Enkei RPF1's with 255/40R17 Federal 595 RS-R's. Unfortunately I haven't been able to drive the car yet because the rear tires rub on the struts. I have ordered a set of 5mm spacers to help them clear.
The fronts look like they're poking a little, but it looks like camber is close to 0. If I dial in a degree or two of negative camber I think they should be fine. I think I may end up having to roll the rear once the spacers go on. Possibly the front too, but it might clear. I'm happy to be on a wider set of tires. Hopefully the weather warms up soon! |

I have noticed that power drops off up top. I wasn't really sure what caused it, but when I looked back it appears to have started showing up sometime around when Fuji from NF and I advanced the cam timing by one tooth last summer. Prior to that the plots mostly showed power holding pretty flat out past 7k. This was on smaller turbos and lower power levels, so not a perfect comparison to now, but it seemed like something to look into. A little more info on the cam setup here:

Yeah that drop off is weird, my 62 gen 1 never did that even on a 2.5inch downpipe, and a trash fmic.
Is your intake choking it up top? Sent from my iPhone using NASIOC |

I do still think the intake could be part of it. Looking forward to trying out the open inlet at some point . |

I did a few quick 50-100mph pulls tonight and the cam timing change seems like a decent improvement over the 3.9sec range that I had been running.
50-100mph: Pull #1: 3.65 sec Pull #2: 3.74 sec Pull #3: 3.67 sec |

You'd never know anything is going on under the hood of that car if you saw it from the left or the back.... and based on that dyno if you drive it around under 3000 rpm it looks about as fast as a base model Impreza too, ha ha.
