go to Subaru and get the "gasket" for the filter above the TB. Keep the front one if you have a MAF equipped vehicle.

this "gasket" you speak of. . . Is it an extention of the intake tubing?
Im confused as to why its in Quotes, is it not really a gasket?

There is a gasket which looks a lot like the filter with the filter element removed. If you call your local dealer, the parts personnel *should* know what you are asking about. No guarantees though.

Gasket PN for the second airfilter box to replace the filter in there:
16553AA041 Gasket Air Cleaner
Peaty
PS you can't just remove the pleats and put the filter back in, it will leak. The gasket is reinforced to hold up under the vacuum.
