[subarupagan]

so my car tripped a code for to lean , also i saw the performance loss tomorrow i'm putting a hybrid in and just selling the cone to some one

[subarupagan]

hybrid done

That setup should treat you a little better then the cone filter.

[subarupagan]

apparently if i use the stock maf housing and exhaust piping i can use the cone with no repercussions

You're better off using metal piping, but no matter what you do the cone filter is a bad idea.

Stick with the hybrid setup, its the best you can do.

[subarupagan]

but i love that roar of the cone can't get that from the hybrid
plus everythign is a tight fit that hybrid wants to rip off every time i gun it

Cone filters on Subarus are almost always a bad idea.

The only luck I have ever had with a cone filter on a Subaru was on a turbo using speed density tuning (no MAF).

a guy at advance auto parts who went to uti and built cars says it shouldn't have any problems as long as i build it right and secure it right and that he could do parts to gain 35hp with out even having to touch the computer
