Hey all,

I use one of these with my Subaru 2.2. There are adapters available online for the MAF connection, and I moved the snorkel from the right to left side of the van to provide cold air. Works great so far, and gives a nice throaty growl when you step on it, but quite under normal throttle.

Note that they're technically an off-road product.
