I don't know/remember the Subaru part number. The Subaru filter I removed is the original one that came on the car from the factory and the Toyota filter was the YZZS1 I bought from the Toyota/Scion dealer.

I did notice that the Subaru filter also has a baffle or restrictor or something in the core of the filter that the Toyota filter does not that you can see if you look inside. I am curious/intrigued about the metal thickness, though, now...

I didn't take it that way. I just had information that didn't match yours so I thought I'd mention it.
