there isnt any cai for the 2.5 lib, but i think there is a cai for the 2.5 impreza rs which should be similar..

different.

one runs MAF, the other runs MAP sensor

u can use the piping, then bolt onto a HKS intake kit for the GT.

sorry, the above post is only for the Gen IV.

if you have a gen III, the RS intake kit will work

there's a few more out there which i found when i was doing research for my car, but i'm too lazy to find the links right now.

edit: i've asked them in the past if this will work with right hand drive cars as the americans use left hand drive. they infomred me that they have sold several of these kits to the UK and have had no issues.

ebay link here. edited to make post shorter

Thanks for the suggestion. Have any of the members in the forum tried the filter? I have my eye on the Ram Air kit, hopefully i can find a local dealer that carries them. The instructions guide provided most information needed to install it.

my guess would be "no"

most of the traders here focus on the JDM parts. which mainly cater for the GT.

the NA parts only really come out of the US. like cams and stuff. which no one to my knowledge here does.

my brother is in the US and i can't be bothered getting parts out of the US....

Yeah, you are right. Thanks for the information. I'm planning to order via eBay. Can't wait to try it out. :D

I had it installed but the pipe does not suit MY07 2.5, so I brought another piping set for it. The intake does not give any extra power to the car but only some extra noise.

I agree with sinist4. Naw, it won't void anything. I put it equivalent to removing your engine cover. Doesn't effect the drivetrain, suspension, etc.
