I have an 02 Impreza 2.5L TS, after moving from near sea level to a high altitude town I noticed a loss in gas mileage. The locals suggest installing a short ram or cold air intake to combat the lower atmospheric pressure, but am a little uneasy about changing things under the hood. I don't do much with my cars other than routine oil changes and simple maintenance; will installing a new air intake hurt my car in any way? And What kind of system should I look into? I couldn't find anything for 2.5L Subaru on K&N's web site, but AEM had them for the 2.5 Impreza RS. Is the RS intake compatible with the TS?

The cold air intake will cause your vehicle to consume more fuel. These intake allow for more air to enter the engine vs the stock air box. When the sensors see more air entering the engine the computer will adjust by adding more fuel to create an optimal air fuel mixture. So this will NOT help. Hope this was useful
