I didn't know that is was the cause of a lot of the oiling problems in the engines. The replacement pick-ups are cheap insurance for your engine.
Every pick-up is checked before shipping.
Educate yourself and do some research on the oiling pick up issue, mainly in the 2.5's.
The spill from Killer B Motorsport:

"We have all heard the horror stories. You’re just driving down the road minding your own business and then boom your engine blows without warning.
This ULTIMATE OIL PICKUP uses a .12” thick double bracket, 3X OEM oil pickup tube thickness and a brace between bracket and oil pickup tube to further strengthen the assembly. This is a super duty, engineered solution. No other vendor has anything this rugged available, although I’m sure it will be copied. You asked for it, so here it is. Fits all EJ25 motors
Fits All 2.5 Turbo WRX, STi, Legacy GT & Forester XT models"
