What model?

Many subaru's had 2.5L engines, and although they were very similar, there are a few variations of air box's between models and years
Current rides: 2016 Mitsubishi Triton GLS & 2004 Forester X
Ongoing Project/Toy: 1987 RX Turbo EA82T, Speeduino ECU, Coil-pack ignition, 440cc Injectors, KONI adjustale front struts, Hybrid L Series/ Liberty AWD 5sp
Past rides: 92 L series turbo converted wagon, 83 Leone GL Sedan, 2004 Liberty GT Sedan & 2001 Outback

Ah right-o

The hoses are around 10mm ID?

They are for PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) and dont really need vacuum, just somewhere to vent to.

There should only be 3 of them, one from each head, and then one from the rear left of the engine.

You could join them using 2 T pieces, with the 4th port being taken up and stuck into the pod filter.

A proper air box is still the best method
