would this intake be better than the k&n one

Thank you for you interest in doing business with us!It would depend on what K&N; you are talking about. This particular product has the enclosed heat shield which will allow you to draw the colder air from outside rather than from the engine bay. If the K&N; you are referring to does not have the heat shield then yes, this would be a better intake. We hope we can earn your business on this product and many more in the future. Thanks again!

Yes, you can check the vehicle model and number on k&n; website if it's the same number order it and it's so easy to install remove original filter and put this that's all 2 minutes setup and enjoy when you get the filter ^_^

It will make a performance upgrade but at close to 4000 Rpms you'll feel a little more power , but with cold air intake it's usually good to put throttle body spacer mass airflow sensor and other intake upgrades to go along with your k and n cold air intake

I only had the K&N; without a throttle body spacer but the car did have a performance ECM tune. So I can only say that the throttle response was great and you can really hear the intake breath with the open cone filter.

You may get 1 or 2 mpg better but its not a guarantee. Mostly depends on how you drive, how long and often you idle the truck and also fuel quality.

I installed the cat-back and intake on the same day so it might be different with only the intake but I noticed a 2-3 mpg gain after I got over getting into it all the time cause it sounds so good.

It filters better than a K&N, but I still bought one of the AFE filter wraps so I don't have to clean it as often, live on a gravel road, lots of dust in summer.

K&N; delivers a larger volume of filtered air to the engine and in all my uses has improved performance. They are by far the best performance air filter I have ever used. It is the only air filter I use on my beloved Harley.

I would have to honestly say that I don't know, what I do know is that I do feel and hear the difference, I plan on changing out my exhaust later on down the line which, from what I've researched is where you would see a more sizable increase in horsepower/fuel efficiency, but I know someone with the K&N; setup who wishes he would've known about Spectre because you really can't tell the difference in quality and performance, and I'm sure you've the price difference. I would highly recommend.

I used this intake on a 2010 wrx sedan which has a much different intake set up from the outback sport it seems after compairing photos of the engines. I would say it would not fit properly due to how long the stock intake hose is on the outback. But I would contact K&N and makes sure before installing anything aftermarket. AEM intakes are very similar to k&n intakes (the two companies actually work together) and also provide longer tubing which may provide a better fit. Either way, contact the company and be sure to order the proper parts.

That is a newer model than I have but I would go to the K&N; website and double check.

No. Part of the installation is transferring the mass air flow sensor the factory intake to the K and N.

The OEM Ford intake is a much better choice quality wise and not too much additional money. It uses the standard OEM type gaskets and not the o-ring inserts that the Dorman uses.

I am pretty sure it only fits the 2.4 liter. K&n makes a different intake for your model. If you have any questions about your car, modifications and aftermarket parts hit up the project lancer forums if you havent already. Its a great site for lancers and you can always find the answers for whatever questions you have.
