Hello everybody. Many of you are familiar with KS Technology, but I wanted to post a thread with a little general information about it.

We are a small family business that started in 2006 as part-time hobby, and about a year ago it became a full-time venture. Sales have doubled every year since 2006. KSTech designs, manufactures, and tests all KSTech products here in the Reno/Tahoe area of Nevada, USA. The quality, craftsmanship, technical support, and customer service are some of the best out there.

KSTech has been Subaru-focused since the beginning. Some of the milestones are:
* First company to offer real phenolic thermal intake spacers for Subarus (in 2 thicknesses before anybody else had any).
* First company to offer Air-Pump Delete Plates. Still the best and the least expensive.
* First and only company to offer DIY TGV Delete Kits.
* First and only company to offer weld-on MAF Flanges machined for pipe diameters from 2.5" to 4".
* First company to offer big MAF intakes in multiple MAF diameters to match power levels.
* First company to offer intakes specifically designed to fit around different FMIC's.
* First company with intake options for the LegacyGT with multiple MAF diameters to fit multiple FMIC's.
* More Subaru intake combinations than everybody else combined.

The KSTech intake line is vast. It would be safe to say that we make more different intake configurations for Subarus than everybody else combined. We have many different intake designs offered in 3 MAF diameters with heat shield and filter options. The different configurations allow fitment with APS, TurboXS, Perrin, Ultimate Racing, Cosworth, "itsme", and other brands of FMIC. These are basically custom intakes at generic-intake prices.
