   I certainly would recommend this to any owner of a 2003 Impreza wrx with high miles that hasn’t had the intake piping replaced. I would recommend having a avid subaru technician install it. It is simply not an easy installation unless you remove the full intake plenum. Be prepared to purchase all the surrounding hoses and vaccum lines from the dealership. All are going to be brittle and hard and will break upon removing the old pipe. After the installation was complete it works great. Its certainly a strudy pipe and made of robust materials. If you attempt this installation without removing the plenum good luck to you..I also purchased the mishimoto intercooler pipng kit along with this. Great Buy

   Bought this for my 2002 Subaru Impreza Wrx (turbocharged 2.0L) at 107k miles. I had originally purchased the oem part from Subaru, but decided against it because I didn’t feel like removing the entire intake manifold and read that this one meant I didn’t have to. Mishimoto’s website has an instructional video for installing the part, which was pretty helpful, but also a little misleading as to the amount of effort it takes to wedge the thing in there. You need to use a hacksaw to cut out the old part too… there’s no going back from then on. The power steering pump and the ignition cables to the spark plugs were very much in the way and it took two of us to finally get the piece in place. Used a couple of long thick flathead screwdrivers as pry-bars to maneuver it and attach it to the port at the base of the top-mount intercooler. Otherwise a great part. I don’t have anything to measure the horsepower or efficiency or anything, so I can’t tell you how much it’s improved performance, but it seems like its going to outlast the rest of the engine.A word of caution: your old hoses will likely be cracked or will be slightly the wrong size for the connectors on this part. It is very well made, but the ports seem slightly larger than their plastic counterparts on the old part I removed. The part itself is much thicker than the oem, so the hose ports are not quite in the same positions, which leads to some awkwardness if you don’t replace those hoses too. Also, this part is NOT compatible with the oem hose that connects the original part to the air filter box. You need to buy that from Mishimoto as well (it was not on Amazon when I bought this part), which I then had to cut down to size because it was 1.5″ too long at one end. Finally, I’d recommend replacing your spring clamps with screw clamps. It’ll save you a lot of pain.

   So, I bought this knowing Mishimoto’s name and quality but never having replaced this part before.If you’ve never done it either, get ready for a fight on both sides, taking the old one out and putting this one in.I managed to do it without taking the intake manifold off, it is possible. Lots of squishing a wiggling to get it up to the turbo. Two hints I’ll pass on here, 1, get yourself a set of picks to help pull the new inlet hose on to the turbo snout and 2, little WD40 on the turbo snout to get the inlet hose to slip on. Be careful with the picks you don’t rip the new hose. Once you get it it just kinda pops into place. Really rewarding when it does but it’s a struggle.That all said, it’s Mishimoto so it’s really well made. Instructions are lacking so be sure you know what you’re getting yourself into. Haven’t driven with it yet, have a few other things to take care of.

   I’m a not a professional mechanic, but I’m handy, and I do a lot of work on my cars. Despite all of the bad reviews of Mishimoto’s hoses, I thought this turbo intake tube would be a safe bet. After watching Mishimoto’s installation video, I knew something was off. The video skipped all of the insanely difficult parts, and made no mention of the front hose end being too long to fit the airbox, the oversized OD of the hose having to compete with both the power steering pressure line and the left TGV motor for space, nor the fact that the turbo inlet end is both too long, and not centered with the turbo. There are also no instructions on their website. I pulled the IM, and even with a totally clear path to run the intake tube, it was still too fat to fit underneath the IM without a major fight. The auxiliary vacuum tubes were also located where OEM parts existed. Unless you’re already an expert with the vacuum lines, you’ll be spending some time figuring out where they go. As an engineer, I would be ashamed to work on a team like Mishimoto who can’t get their production designs right, and pass the mistakes and pain on to their customers. I emailed them twice to see if they have an adapter that will connect this intake pipe to my factory intake box, and received no replies. I ended up having to mold a platinum-cure silicone gasket to make their intake tube fit my airbox.I’ll start pulling the IM back out this weekend (which I just finished re-installing today). This time, I’ll install the properly engineered factory intake tube. Now that I’ve finally installed oil catch cans, I won’t have to worry about the factory turbo intake tube disintegrating again over 275k miles. I also seriously doubt Mishimoto used proper fluorosilicone for their intake tube, as I don’t see a liner in the super thick wall of the tube.

   Ok so. It fits. But it’s much easier if you already have the intake manifold off the engine as I did. Still a tight fit but it does fit. The quality is top notch and all the fittings are high quality. Best way to install is to take intake manifold off and replace the gaskets while you’re in there. Paint it like I did and then reassemble. I can’t imagine trying to squeeze that thing in there without doing that. Worth the money and works great. Won’t throw a CEL Either.

   Have not had a mishimoto hose or coupling fail to date. The install can be a pain in the ass if you don’t know the layout; however as a technician found it pliable enough to push around under the intake and have zero fear of the hose losing rigidity under boost.Did not take a pic with the aluminum inserts installed but the hose fittings are solid and grip nice.
