I know some Subaru owner's that actually remove the entire airbox when replacing the air filter on older models. It's also a pain on some models to get the filter in just right and make sure that there are no leaks. |

Yep I did this on the initial recent new air filter install (removed the whole box from the intake tube clamp back) but didn't on subsequent 2nd & 3rd filter removals due to 'slackism' when I did the oil pressure sensor/gauge & OEM oil cooler installs & I have already noted I somehow easily fudged @ least one of the corners on the damn thing :/ Sh1t air box/filter design.
I may just get a new one & do this properly soon. Thanks @bluesubie for the tip Edit . . . . some pics of that air box . . looks like the air filter fit is about as good as it gets with this poorly made air box. What ya'll think ? Last edited by ZZT86; 03-14-2016 at 06:35 AM. |
