The products fit the 2002-14 WRX, 2004-21 STI, 2005-09 Legacy GT, and 2004-13 Forester XT, Oil Pickup: The IAG Version 2 Subaru WRX / STI oil pickup replaces the OEM EJ25 oil pickup which is prone to failure. It's a well-known fact that the OEM oil pickups often crack and fail which in most cases destroys your motor from lack of oil pressure. The original IAG Performance pickup design has been improved in this all-new stainless steel version. To avoid the cracking failures seen in the OEM oil pickup tubes, the oil pickup is manufactured from stainless steel tubing that is 2x thicker than OEM. Additionally, it features a flange machined from 3/8" stainless steel to mate with the block, sealed with a Viton O-ring. The integrated heavy-duty stainless steel mounting bracket uses two mounting points rather than the OEM single mounting point. Furthermore, the oil pickup features a formed bottom with an OEM style mesh screen for proper filtration. The TIG-welded oil pickup increased material thickness matched with the two-point heavy-duty mounting bracket helps ensure it does not fatigue and fail over time like an OEM unit, Windage Tray: The IAG Windage Tray is designed to limit potential blow-by in your Subaru's WRX / STI EJ engine during high rpm driving. The job of the windage tray is to help direct oil from the upper crankcase down into the lower crankcase and oil pan area. The precision-formed louvers direct oil downwards and help to prevent oil that is draining from the cylinder heads in the lower crankcase area from sloshing upwards into the path of the crankshaft and connecting rods, thus reducing aeration, The IAG V2 Subaru EJ25 Oil Pickup and Windage Tray is manufactured proudly in the United States at the IAG facility in Westminster, Maryland.
- Keeps oil down in the pan, preventing aeration.
