Air filter K&N or Fram
OEM filters will generally run you $30-$60, you can get cheaper ones like Fram as well.
Can confirm Fram CF12772 fits. I have replaced mine twice.
replaced OEM with K&N 6 months ago and have not had any issues
Best accessory for my Ignis was K&N Air Filter, it really changed the sound of engine which I really liked. Maybe it was Placebo affect but I felt the change in character of the car.
Put a K&N cleanable air filter in long ago I’m now at around 80k mileage and most likely going to sell my 2016 wrx before 100k.
I’ve used KN filters in many cars. I had one in my WRX for 13 years. It’s a great filter but the filtration isn’t as good as normal filters. About every 15-20,000 miles you need to clean it, that means you won’t be able to drive your car for like 12 hours while your filter dries. Then you need to re-oil it and make sure you don’t use too much or it will fuck in your sensors.
I swapped the engine air filter for a new one. Could the Fram filter be more restrictive than the OEM one?
I do not recommend the K&N if you ride in any dusty conditions. The primary reason the K&N flows more air is that it lets more stuff through it. Dust is the last thing you want going into your engine.
First step, if it still has the k&n air filter in it, throw that piece of shit away amd get a decent paper filter.
No it’s not worth it.
