Reply to PM sent. :)

The STI panel filter is just an upgrade to the regular paper filter that comes in an STI from the factory (Subaru claims an extra 2hp).

You can order one from your dealer as it has a Subaru part #.

The STI panel filter also fits the WRX, SVX and previous generation Legacy (possibly a few other models as well).

Is there an advantage to this over like a K&N??

None really - the STI filter just costs more! :D (~$70)

Alright so why did you go with the STi then?

Three letters: STI!!!! :D :D :D

-Chike

HHAHAHAH so u paid how much for those 3 letters? Has anyone done any flow testing on it vs like a K&N or a team green? does team green even make filters for our car?

Yeah you can by green filters for our cars. Dayle from motorsports warehouse sells them but you could maybe get it for cheaper.

Fixed that post for you Chike :p :D

$70 seems like a lot of cash for a filter that may or may not give you a power increase that is so small you probably couldn't measure it accurately on a dyno.

As far as I can see, it only makes sense if you are racing and trying to gain hundreths of a second. Otherwise IMHO, just put a $10 paper filter in and change it regularly.
