Will be interesting to see some results from CAMS/Bolt Ons for the 2017 intake as it appears to shift the peak power to the right slightly. Other than that there doesn't appear to be an affordable intake option on the market.

The engine is pretty well sorted with just bolt ons + E85. Useable torque curve with 200 peak WHP is nothing to complain about... 250+BHP would be nice though.
What if you could make the same power without E85? With enough flow (and managed properly), the same power can be achieved with less stress and lesser fuel. Many Subaru enthusiasts would say impossible, except Honda has been doing it for decades already
