Question Pod Filter - Help Please

Hey Guys,

As I have found out, my pod filter is dying as its one of the old foam ones... if not changed will eventually get sucked into the turbo.

I know enough about cars but when it comes to fixing or changing things im a total n00b and generally take the easy way out and pay to get everything done.

Pretty much I was advised to get a K&N pod filter by RMS but they quoted 270 for the filter and the installation etc.

Sounds a bit steep in price to me, K&N is fine by me just need to know if anyone can recommend where I can get it done at a reasonable price. (I live near south perth)..

Your help is always much apreciated,
Cheers!
- Will

An oiled K&N is not a good idea on Subarus. I know a few people have used them, but you need to used the oil sparingly and if you over coat the filter, your AFM is going into the bin in the very near future.

Get on ebay and get a Apexi Pod. Flows better and filters better too. Plus its only like $110 delivered to your door.

Just buy a cheap non oiled filter and fit it yourself. Then spend the money on something else.......

One here for $20

+2 for apexi, apparently i heard that the K&N ones actually damage the air flow meter over time, i got mine done at tenagah and it sounds sweet and u can feel a world of difference from the old one.
