MAF bolt pattern

Guy's,

I've searched but to no avail, is the bolt pattern of the SVX MAF the same as the WRX? I'm trying to get a pod filter for my car.

Does anybody know the measurements?

Thanks,
Matt

Matt,
I believe it is, as several folks have posted that Impreza MAFs are bolt in replacements for SVX MAFS.

I have found the Outback and some other Subaru models to have a bolt in replacement MAF..... BUT
The range of electronics do not match at wide open throttle above a certian point. I found that for daily driving its not an issue, but for racing or aggressive driving the full range just is not there. This is my findings and $0.02

Thanks guys...I measured it up and it's the same pattern as Nissan's etc, but not WRX's apparently.

Makes me wonder if it's not the same as the Nissan MAF...isn't that a popular upgrade?

Not the same maf, just the same case. So the adapter WILL work... just don't want to see any more people think all they need to do is throw in a MAF from a 300 and expect it to work. You'd need software for that.
