Engine/Power - non turbo (All non turbo Imprezas) Who needs a turbo when you have 2500cc? Cams, intakes, exhausts, etc. The 2.2L and 1.8L Subies are cool too.

Injen, Weapon R, Cobbtuning. So far Injen and Cobbtuning are the ones with the Cold Air Intakes.

Yes its the same thing. I recently helped a friend install a weapon r intake on his 07 2.5 RS. It fits fine.

NO it will not work. The wrx intake starts from the passenger side near the abs. The RS intake starts from the top of the engine. Two different areas and pipe bends.

thats for the 00-01 2.5rs but you can make the weapon r look like it, you just need a hks filter which is alot better then the filter it comes with.

before

after

that strut brace looks all to similar to one i bought off ebay for my old car and didnt even bother putting in. i dont understand why you wouldnt run the pipeing straight into the guard and get fresh air.
did you find the earthing kit did anything?
