anybody ever put a k & n intake system in a 92 legacy? Figure while i'm down at autozone tommorrow for the brakes, might as well check into adding a few extra horses. There is a space (looks like you could put an extra battery there) on the passenger side of the engine that looks like a good spot to mount a cone, just curious to see if anybody has advice on if this is a good idea or not? Will it adversely affect a daily driver type engine without any other modifications?

anybody else using anything different that they would suggest?

thanks

Support the filter with some sturdy rubber bushings and the like, too many vibes will kill your MAF sensor - expensive.

 

I would stick with the stock air box and just remove the intake silencer that lives inside the fender cavity. Run a short pipe from the air box into the fender cavity to feed cooler air. End that pipe in a trumpet/bell mouth.

 

In fact, that's what I did do! Makes a nice sound, without being too loud.

PERFECT! that looks like a great idea.(nice pic,very informative) One question, Does that mouth allow for a lot of extra debris to come into engine? I'm probly not going to be "rallying" this car on any dirt courses anytime soon, but Denver doesn't have the cleanest streets in the world...thanks again

Not at all. It still sucks from the same fender cavity as the stock system.

 

Arguably it's gonna be better, 'cause it faces down instead of up like the stock mouth. Although the intake silencer that I suggest you remove may help separate some water droplets, due to the sharp turn inside the silencer.

 

Just throw a K&N filter in the stock airbox.

 

 

Ran my Legacy EJ22 for 70k miles like this, from 120k to 190k and it is still running fine. Now with over 200k on the odo. So, this setup is tried and tested :-)
