Are they essentially the same? Im looking for a drop-in filter and the HKS site only lists up to 2009.

 

its the same

 

Xactly the same. Only things that changed are minor interior upgrades.

 

the same 1 change tho, the color of the info. panel display between your speedometers. from orange > colorfull other than that everything else is the same no interior diff at all.

 

2010 doesnt roll backwards when u take ur foot off the brake on hills

 

Yippee~ lol

 

that scares the hell outta me sometimes lol

 

rolling backwards in an automatic scares you? oh god lol.

The hill assist is a nice addition in a car like a 09sti that is manual.

 

I tell you what. The whole rolling thing sure does spice up parallel parking on my street, which is one big hill. I feel like Michael Schumacher every time I get the car within a solid 8 inches of the curb.

 

There are hills in Florida?

 

It only scares people, I presume, insomuch as Mitsubishi set out to create a car with an ultra-fast-shifting gearbox and ended up making something that is hampered by electrical problems, which is not a good indication of things to come in this car. My last Mitsubishi had horrible electrical problems. Brings back bad memories...

 

I used to live in Orlando and surprisingly there is a lot of hills just north of orlando.

 

Yes, there are. However, I go to school in NC. Believe me when I tell you, there are some serious hills up here.

 

I've not seen any mention of the colourful info display in the UK, which is a shame as it looks really nice.

I have the HKS filter and I'm very impressed with it, considering it is only a replacement panel filter you get much more induction noise than you would normally expect.

 

The guy at my dealership keep telling me thoes HKS filters are oil based and are bad for the engine cause its syn-oil based.

He said hes not ording any. same goes for th K&N one aperently
