simplicity. The stock intake works... it is that simple. It allows air to flow from a single pipe to dual inlets at the throttle body. People have tried to say in the past that the junction at the throttle bodies was a good way to increase the plenum's volume at WOT to create more low end tq. As we have seen in the dyno charts, the Tomyx keeps the same low and mid-range tq with the increases primarily in the upper RPMS.

I am sure that if Subaru was really trying to squeeze more power out of this engine it would be rated at 300BHP and it would have a better exhaust and a tuned intake. BUT they were looking for mid-range tq to conform with the low FD of the transmission to make it a good GT car, not a top end sports car.

I hope this helps.
