Using the AMS Performance Intake Manifold is a great way to boost your Subaru WRX or STI's performance. First, check if your car model (2002 - 2014 WRX or 2004 - 2021 STI) and engine type (EJ20 or EJ25) match the fitment requirements. If you have a 02 - 05 WRX with EJ20, you'll need an adapter to use a WRX - style drive - by - cable throttle body. For 08 - 14 WRX with EJ25, use an STI - style drive - by - wire throttle body. When installing, be aware that 08 - 21 STI models may need mild clearancing of the A/C compressor line. Due to the large variety of rotated turbo kits on the market, double - check for any potential interference with the cylinder 3 intake runner. If you're using CNC or hand - ported cylinder heads, some port matching may be required. You can use larger throttle bodies, but they'll need proper modifications and possibly adapter flanges. Maintenance is simple. Keep an eye on the texture red powder coating. If there are any signs of chipping or wear, you can touch it up to prevent corrosion. Regularly check the intake runners and plenum for any debris or blockages. When it comes to injectors, use the recommended Injector Dynamics brand injectors, as standard Subaru style injectors won't work. And always remember, this intake manifold requires aftermarket rails and lines, so make sure they're in good condition.
