Using this AEM cold air intake is a breeze. First, gather some common tools and start the installation process. It fits right into the original air box space of your Subaru WRX 2015 - 2021. When it comes to using it, just drive as you normally would and enjoy the extra horsepower and torque. As for maintenance, the AEM Dryflow air filter is great. You don't have to clean it often - it can go up to 100,000 miles before needing a clean, but this depends on your driving conditions. When you do clean it, follow the cleaning instructions provided. Also, make sure to check the legal status of this air intake in your state. Some areas, like California and those with similar emission standards, may have restrictions, so always check the vehicle applications to stay on the right side of the law.
