 What they do recommend is a>>> smaller filter made by Tokyo Roki.

Hi,
First time poster here, name Mitch. My dealer's wrench said the same
thing. OEM filters for the XT. He said it would be hard to claim
warrenty issues if "non Sub" filters are used. Also the filter contains
a blowoff feature if the pressure is exceeded...... what ever that does.
Maybe if it gets clogged it goes flow thru. He also mentioned the oil
used in the K&N filters gum up some air flow sensor on the XT.
Tnx for the info on the dealer, good prices.

On another point, Does anyone know where I can get info on how to access
the third highmounted brakelite? How do I get in there?

I don't think that's an issue here. Most people responding to the
thread are simply looking for the highest quality.

It's called a bypass (or relief) valve, and pretty much any filter
spec'ed for a Subaru is going to contain one. Even the cheapie
Wal-Mart filter (which is actually of fairly high quality). BTW -
the company Champion Labs now has a different construction method
for several of their filters. The media is heat sealed onto nylon
endcaps, and the bypass valve is integrated as part of anti-
drainback valve. I bought one for a Camry, and it was rather
light, as they've taken away a certain amount of metal.

K&N will claim otherwise, but I no longer use their stuff.

Nothing from me. I haven't tried to touch one yet.
