Wai, why dont you get your facts right before you go posting things that arent true??

A K&N panel filter will NOT DAMAGE THE CAR.

A lot of people are running them with no problems. Where problems come in, is when they are over oiled. If you dont over oil the filter, no worries!!

K&N panel filters are great because you can clean and re-use them, you dont have to buy an OEM paper filter every scheduled air filter change. I dont know about power gains, but they would probably be minimal.

I am no expert but I have read plenty on iwsti.com and nasioc.com on the subject of CAI for MY06 WRX/STI. My gut feeling is that it's a waste of $$. Best money spent would be flash of ecu like ecutec. If you want you can also look at getting rid of the snorkus (intake resonator) on the factory intake. Carefull with oiled filters as they can cause you problems with oil on MAF if you are not careful, notice I did not say "will cause you problems". Best mods in my mind is the exhaust to free the boxer beat, a bit of suspension work such as whiltelines sways, endlinks, lowering springs or if you have the $$ then coilovers. Once you have these things in place then the flash on ecu and you have a new and vastly improved ride over stock.

Right on Joe, Problems occur when people dont follow the instructions..

YOU DONT OIL THE THING UNTIL ITS DRIPPING!

The instructions tell you to use a "THIN" film of it.
