home made intake
I searched to no avail for this one. i saw a post a while back where someone removed the stock airbox and made their own sort of short ram with a k&n cone style filter. i would like to know how this was done, where the map sensor went and the like. I tried it one day with a cheap ___ filter and the car sounded awesome for the 2 seconds it ran....then she died, so i musta done something wrong right!>! lol I know it probably wont do much in terms of performance but again not lookin for that going for more of a tuned sound, if ya cant BE fast might as well sound it and look good doing it

Search for the post by "SUPASCIONXB" called "poor man's intake"
He had a nice setup... He changed it out for a real intake later...
I copied his setup, and also later opted to buy the real thing...
It works for while, but you don't get the sound or performance from the real thing.
I felt like it was actually hurting my performance... It was cheap though
Peace

Yeah, just get a K&N or TRD drop-in filter and fasten it (either make a frame, modify the lower portion of the box/snorkel, or duct tape!!!). A friend of mine bought a Blitz Induction Cover for his WRX last night. Works well...

PM Tamago. He modified a stock air box he bought off ebay. Ask him to post pics!

the suprascion intake is not really worth the effort. . . and it doesn't seal up very well, IMO, especially at the filter box. Get a REAL intake. I fabbed my own short ram, but it took quite a bit of work. . .

That's what I did. . . but there is an extra tube within the OEM intake, which can be fabricated into a short-ram, blitz-type intake. You'll need a filter that will accept 2.5" or smaller piping. IMO, just get a pre-made CAI/short-ram.
