some bummer news from Subaruparts.com

I've been in touch with Allison at Subaruparts.com and below is our email conversation. Bottom line is that Subaru tells her that part is not interchangeable Read from bottom to top.

I'm having a hard time believing that all the intake air boots should be interchangeable with all model SVX cars!!

----------------------------------------------------------------
Most items on SVX’s are the same; some items are different though and this particular item says that it is different. Unfortunately they list no interchangeable numbers for either item.

Ok, thanks for the confirmation. Now, I don't really know what to do with a cracked intake. I know that cars this vintage all should have the same cracked intake issue. Are there any other substitutions? I think the part should be interchangeable between '92 to '97 if that helps.

thanks for any help.

Best Regards,
Ali

Its hard to say if it would work or not, I did call Subaru and they said that it would not work due to a manufacturing date difference.

Hey Allison,

Did 14457AA062 replace p/n 14457AA061? If so, time to update subaruparts.com website!
