well i have seen people reccommend a drop in to use with my standard air box instead of say a hks mega flo cone intake. is this because it could mess up my engine or becasue it doesnt change the power received?
is there a drop in that is suggested to use for an 06 TR?
i saw a fram at pep boys but is that any better than the stock one?
In general a short ram, or a cold air intake on a WRX will drop the power numbers on the low end and not gain on top end.. That is unless your tuned for it.. However, the stock setup flows actually very well.. Most people suggest the K&N.. I don't know how the Fram would stack up to the K&N...
Check out ebay for the Perrin, I scored mine for $25 and change plus shipping. !Thumbs Up I have the K&N short ram and I'm taking that off in favor of the stock airbox, if that means anything.
Since my car's mostly stock, I don't need that intake yet.
I received the Perrin yesterday and installed it. Just gotta remember how oiled it was for next time when I clean it. Its running nice and I'm getting a lot more of a spooling soung from my engine, VERY NICE!
im not sure on WRX's but you'll be suprised a drop in will change sounds 2 i know on my girls srt-4 it did and my friends SS cobalt whined like a motha.....so it should
dont wast the time or money on a short ram...
Yes it does. You will also notice quicker throttle response, at least I did.

1) Sound - "Luke, I am your father" *breathe in* *breathe out*
2) Air flow - If you're not getting tuned for it, it's all placebo effect. It makes you think your turbo spools faster, but in reality it does very little (maybe 50 RPMs faster).
Recommendation: Go ahead and buy the aftermarket drop-in filter if you wish (re-usability factor).
Not Recommended: Don't buy anything special for the silencer/snorkus (all just bling bling). Save your money for premium gas.

To reset your ECU pull your Negative Battery Cable, then press the brake peddle for 15 seconds or so to drain all the (lingering voltage) out of the system.. Reconnect your Negative battery terminal and your done.. Well, until you notice your clock and radio presets are all messed up..
y the need to reset ecu after the velocity stack? i did the silencer delete this weekend and add my own elbow from pvc pipe..i never reseted.. should i have?
It doesn't hurt to flash out the memory of the ECU.. The ECU kind of gets used to a setup so once you change that setup it's nice to clear the ECU so it starts all over again..
