I'm on First and First. How can the same street intersect with itself? I must be at the nexus of the universe.

Thats a true cold air intake. The price isnt so bad either. Id still go for a snorkelectomy and K&N panel though.

Yep, in the fender, this one is for subarus w/ no MAF sensor. I have the one, only designed for cars w/ the maf sensor, as seen here: http://homepage.mac.com/michaelkuhn/.Pi ... inebay.jpg

any true cold air intake for the MAF cars will most likely be a custom job.

It can be done on the one you posted.....you just get a big enough pipe cutters, cut the pipe to fit the MAF & adapter in, and just put everything back together.

I have on on my GT (97) with a PRM inline filter....unfortunately, I didn't realize how tightly sealed you really need your fender to be when doing this, if you drive 80 in six inches of snow for hours on end....
My car started running poorly, pulled over to find the filter totally clogged with many inches of tightly packed snow.
cleaned it out, took off the attachment from filter to fender, stuff rag in fender hole, problem solved...
any suggestions on how to seal up the fender?
I would think you could just cut that intake up and make it work...its an NA car your putting this on? The filter for that intake is actually in the fender well. I don't really think this is ideal if you live in a wet or snowy area. I would rather have the inline filter. Although I would maybe like to rig up some kind of water drain or something in it before the filter...just to be safe.

THanks for all the replies.

I'm just trying to get info so I'll know what to do when I, hopefully in the near future, get my legacy.

"what to do when I, hopefully in the near future, get my legacy."
Wrong thing to say. You shouldnt even be thinking about an intake. Are you a previous honda owner or something? You havent even driven the specific car yet so who knows what it will need. You should find which items will provide the most fun for the money, intakes are really one of the last mods done because they do so little.

When you get the legacy spend your money on getting it in top shape first. Fix the leaks. Replace all the fluids (including brake). Do a full tune up. Research the suspension options. Get some better wheels/tires. Think about better brakes. If you plan is to get an NA legacy I wouldn't expect to get much additional power out of it without lots of work. Its far easier/cheaper to make the car faster in other ways. If power is your goal a turbo or an Impreza RS may be the better choice.
