I just use a big ass K&N filter for Fords. And I put it under the driver's fender so it's not getting heatsoaked by the headers.

Feel free to ignore the massive suspension failure that's going on here, the filter is right in front of the broken wheel:

Yeah, I can't imagine that it'd have fitment issues with any header or manifold. It allows PLENTY of room. Even the tight fit on the 08 and up 2.5i, which is pretty ridiculous by my standards, it has no clearance issues.

Sweet. You mind if I ask you how much they cost? And I'd have to go to Nissan to get them right?

My parts dept. sells them over the counter for about $8 if I recall correctly. If you come down and don't remember the part number, tell them you want a 350Z filter for your Subaru. They'll know what you're talking about.

Haha sounds good cory.

Sperry, maybe a noob question, but how did you get your filter over there? Is it in a different spot on WRXs?

It's a remote oil filter and cooler.
