If you really want your car to go faster on a track or auto-x course, concentrate on your driving, tires, chassis/suspension & brakes. An STi has plenty of power stock. The powertrain is not something to expend any effort on until you've maximized everything else.
So what you are saying is you want to reduce the hot air behind the steering wheel? Got it.

And after all, that $3 is about 1/50th of a track day. Just think, if you hadn't spent that, you would be that much closer to more track time...

While I agree with Austin, most of us have spent some money on some silly little mod; be it a gear shift knob, grounding kit, drop in filter, fancy battery & billet hold down, carbon fiber something, window tint, lug nuts, etc all of which have little if any measurable benefit. But for the most part, we like them, and are glad we did them, or a least won't admit we aren't.

Let Alex have his $3 CAI mod.
