It did come with a bit too much excess oil, which makes it take a while to install. Once you get it in solid though, it works like a charm. Got it in my SG forester XT (2005) in under two hours, no check engine lights or other issues so far. I can definitely feel a HP increase in the higher rpm’s, as well as my turbo and blow off valve noises being noticeably increased. Showed up on time, and is a great deal compared to Perrin’s price on their website! Highly recommend as one of your first mods to your subaru.
I purchased this Intake after purchasing an Accessport for my 2005 FXT, and together they are a nice package. The intake was relatively simple to install (the filter/bracket/clamp part is mildly annoying), looks good and sounds good as well. It’s as nice as a short ram intake can be.
