- In this episode, I’ll show you how to easily install a cone filter.
This install is similar for a bunch of different makes and models, but today I’ll show you how to do it on an 04 Legacy running the 3 liter H6.

The first thing you want to do before you even buy a filter, is to make sure your stock airbox doesn’t have any sensors or wires running to it. If it does, you should do some research and see if you can successfully run a cone filter on your car.
I’ve put cone filters on all my 1990's subarus and never had issues. I put them on because I’ve seen significant fuel economy gains and I love how they sound!
Since this is the 6 cylinder, I decided to get the large 11" filter, but on my other 4cylinder subarus, I’ve always used the standard 6" with success. I've seen lots of people use the smaller 3" filter, and I'm sure it works great, but it doesn't appear to have a larger surface area than the stock drop-in filter, so I don't know if you would see as much of an increase in fuel economy.
Your local auto parts store probably carries these, but amazon has them for the cheapest prices.

Did i miss something or did you just cut the MAF off?
+Del Super no, the h6 doesn't have a MAF right there like the others. At least this one didn't. Haba
@@Dirtcheapdaily The H6 actually has a MAF if it is of a newer model. I think Subaru revamped the EZ30D around 2004/2005 which is why mine has a MAF sensor.
Dam it only took me 20 videos to find one that JUST GOT TO THE POINT, thanks for the video
Took you 20 videos for you to figure out how to do it.. i wouldnt be talking 😂
I suggest adding a filter cover, and running tubing directly to the cold air snorkel. To keep air clean and cool
Thanks bro, that helped a lot. Quick and str8 to the point with details...I got 11 legacy 3.6r awd, and im going to install my cone later on today using this video
Does this technically run two air filters? My outback has a filter in that box attached right on the engine and it looks like yours does as well
Hot air intake get heat shields.
Did you actually see any gains? I was going to do this to my 03 h6 l.l.bean, but everyone is saying it will negatively affect my engine
Would it work for a 2002 Subaru outback
Your channel is amazing. This is the first video I come across. I understood everything. My 2005 subaru impreza 2.5 rs would only need the 6" variant correct?
Significant fuel economy? That’s a bold statement.
+DrWeeWe I'd say an 6 mpg highway increase is significant.
I was getting 18mpg on the stock box. Adding the cone filter upped that to 20. Heat shields and cold air upped that to 24.
@@lowslowfoz alright. Your comment changes the gas mileage gains i've noticed in the last 10 years...
Kyle Jorcha a placebo can’t add 8mpg...
@@Dirtcheapdaily- There is not enough change in the quantity, density or velocity of the incoming air, to increase fuel consumption efficiency by 40-45%. There's no mention in your comments or the video itself, to explain how you eliminated about a dozen variables, that also affect fuel consumption. You've provided no information about how your test was conducted accurately. If you don't think accuracy is worth your attention or trust, why then should anyone pay your claims any attention or trust? Here's just one example you failed to clarify: the quality and condition of the old stock filter in your car's stock air filter box. The accurately tests of cone filters, in the engine bay and exposed to the same or more ambient heat, prove your incredibly vague claims don't stack up. FWIW, I have a similar vehicle, and am installing a similar cone filter, and also doing it without buying extra parts - but I am doing it carefully, and properly. Oh, and I'm not so silly as to expect or claim 45, 35, 25 or even 15% increase in fuel efficiency from this mod. Changing it for different noise, or more volume? Nah, that's inane. To make my engine bay look better? Nobody, including myself, looks at my engine bay for pleasure.
I have a o1 forester cant figure it out
I want to try this on my 2016 subaru corsstreck lol
Fire it up!! Let's hear it!
i did this but now my issue is mist off the tires comin into engine bay through hole in passenger fender where the old forced air use to intake at.. consider some self tapping screws and a piece of valley tin on inner fender
Do you leave everything in the stock "torque" box and just take the filter out? My 05 baja has a white baffle inside it in-between the engine and air filter. The air filter is in the "torque" box.
nice. Thanks.
Can you share fuel economy results after fitting cone filter on this specific h6? do you have any before/after metrics?
+Justas Šerstkovas before the cone filter I was getting 17-18 pretty consistently for highway driving. After the cone filter it's been consistent from 19-22.
It's not as big of a change as I've seen in 4 cylinder subarus, (I had a 2.2 that was getting 15mpg and after the cone filter it was up at 22)
But I'm still happy with it.
nice. Thanks for into. Looks like cone filter will be my next mod. But I will avoid cutting anything, so I can put whole system back in the future if I would like to.
@@Dirtcheapdaily Have you ever had an issue with the filter being heat soaked, or having issues due to the fact that it is pulling in hot air from under the hood?
I want to do this to my 2005 but it has a maf D:!!!!! All the ones that fit cost $200+!!!!!!
Im doing the manual swap tutorial once the summer comes.
+Kyogre Cubing | ikyogre1 you can just throw the cone filter on the end after the MAF, but I don't know how much it adds to a turbo car
Mine doesn't have that maf there but I was wondering about the air box the tube comes from mine has the air filter in that box I would remove that after installing pod filter right?
+Nevaeh Grace Pollard yup!
Sorry I didn't word that how I wild of liked to just to be clear my air box with the filter is at the to where the tube begins from same place the top mount intercooler usually sits so I do remove that one yeah
yup. if youre putting a cone filter on, you dont need any other filters in line
Dirtcheapdaily Thaught so I just wasn't sure because hadn't seen filter in box behind throttle area before cheers for the reply appreciate it
Similar process for a 2011 Outback 2.5??
This good for a subaru Impreza 2.5i?
Nice hot air intake
Nice one
Will this work for a 2000 outback 2.5? Don’t see a lot of options out there for a aftermarket performance intake
+Jeffrey Foreman yup
and? how´s sound now?
what year wrx
This video without engine sound is incomplete.
Cannot understand with your music overlapping your voice.
They'd pay you a fortune if you worked at the Saudi embassy.
hey how do i do that to an DIESEL TURBO MERCEDES W 123??????
would this work on a 2.5i impreza(2008)?
+Alex j yup. It should 👍🏻
Thanks for this video! i've heard these filters can increase HP by 8-18 HP depending on the car. is this true? 0_o
+TheSkatersoldier it may be, but I think it's more for looks, and sound. I've always gotten better gas mileage on my subarus, but my buddies Honda got worse mileage when he put one on.
@@Dirtcheapdaily How much better MPGs have you been able to achieve with this 3.0? It's kind of a thirsty Boi as it sits, it would be nice to change that at least a little.
Would this work for a 1992 ford explorer
