  Exactly.  My feelings as well, haha.

Nice.  Extra-S  ?   Do you all use OEM subaru everything (fuel filter, air filter, pcv, etc..) ?   Otherwise, I'll just hit up NAPA / Advance.

Nothing beats Subaru's own oil filters... (looking for the thread where someone cut into many popular oil filters and had them flow tested and filtration properties analysed... OEM was Superior...)
Amsoil EaA Air Filters, panel or cone for many CAI's, offer the best of both worlds as far as efficiency and filtration properties go. No paper.... No foam or oily shit...

 Well, instead of making my first buy aftermarket mods, I decided to buy:  Air filter, fuel filter, plugs, pcv valve, front & rear rotors + pads, oil change, magnetic plug,....PSM touch-up paint, haha.  The Carfax of my car is good, but it doesn't show what they did while at the dealer.  Figure it can't hurt to do this stuff.  Getting some Extra-S, and maybe do a coolant drain & fill.  

 So, um...yeah, who wants to help ?  Haha.   J/K  It's all easy stuff, plugs should be fun.

yeah, it should all be pretty easy.....most tricky will be lining up the intercooler and getting that reinstalled after the pcv replacement
helps to have a thick wire or rope to hook around the hose that connects the y pipe to the turbo....you'll see what i mean when you get in there....then use the rope to pull it straight towards the passenger fender
