Frayz's V7 Prodrive Edition Impreza STi - "The Bomber"

frayz · Post by **frayz** » Sun May 25, 2008 6:36 pm

Got my intercooler back from the paintshop today, fitted it up and offered up the bumper too. Gotta have the bumper re done as we're not quite happy with the colour, but either way i cant fit it until the towing eye turns up.

Heres my new matt finish gunmetal APS core

Well not much of an update,

Remember the bespoke hose i wanted made? Well a superfast turn around from my buddy ensured it turned up today. So i set about fitting my intake filter.I had it made in 4 ply so is very rigid and has no chance of collapsing under boost.

Here you can see the 2 filters together the APS (left) and the AEM dryflow (right)

Now you can see how limited you are for space trying to get the APS to fit alongside the FMIC charge pipe.

And the reasons i didnt like the APS, internally it has no strengthening cage, where as the AEM does and it also has a bellmouth to aid flow (You cant see this bit im afraid)

I cut a small piece of 3.5" ally tube to couple the filter to the hose.

Here you can see the new filter tucked out of the way in the big cavity behind the foglight port.

Much better i think you will agree

Now cant wait to get my bumper bolted up

Will your lighting boxes stop cold air getting to it ? Or does it suck the air from underneath ?

Looks cool.

Fitted up the bumper this morning, it needs polishing and its new decals applied.

Im really pleased with the finished article, also the eagle eyed amongst you will notice some new graphics not previously fitted.

Hope you like it
