Why would Ford care about what Subaru is doing???
FYI, a CAI is not a good first, (second, third, etc) mod for a WRX as it causes the car to run too lean and you lose HP and TQ. Better to replace the DP and UP, (if it isn't an 06 or STi) and add some EM...

Very interesting. Thanks for enlightening me. My ford dealership sells and services Subaru's and they told me Ford owned Subaru. Interesting to see that freakin GM owns a share.
