they make your car run rich. Subaru's already run rich. The better way to make more power out of a subaru is less fuel. They are garbage, and can be made for maybe a dollar with a stop at radio shack. All it is is a resistor.

I tried one of those, and it turned my Check Engine light on and did nothing for performance. At least they gave me a refund :)
