Both Vishnu and Cobb will tell you not to bother with intakes. Vivid will try to sell you the most expensive intake, drop shipped from Korea.

Unless the STi is somehow greatly different, a CAI or short ram will just lean out the car, causing it to pull timing to avoid knock, resulting in lower overall power and responsiveness. We can usually get away with it up here at altitude, but you'll be really hurting the car down in Sac.

For $300, I'd go cat-back, or put it aside as half an XEDE... assuming they figure out some way to control the AVCS with the XEDE.
Exactly my point.. will either tell you NO or try to sell you their shirt on their backs and tell you that the shirt will keep the heat from entering the Intercooler thus keeping it cooler, hence more power!!! ... Get the Point... lol
