At that time I've just pushed the hose into the space after passenger side fig lamp. It could be better to open up the fog lamp and connect the hose to it directly.

Apexi did it.

I prefer the ram air snorkle from Greddy.

Nowadays I use this printed snorkel that is similar to the HKS one. But snorkels are before the resonator in the intake path.

I just would like to emphasize that a major tuning parts company like Apexi did try the same thing.

I agree with the opinion that this is a ghetto-mod. I am in the camp that says that what makes it sound louder or cooler does not always add to real performance which should be the priority. On my 2017 BRZ I very quickly tired of the noise piped into the the car, so I first put the power outlet cap on the hose inside the car. Then I removed the 'Toyobaru Kazoo' completely and plugged the inlet. Something was not quite right after that. I put the sound creator back on the car and plugged the hose the way it was the first time. My take on this is that along with the other resonators, the tube that runs from the intake to the sound creator diaphragm must have been worked into the equation. If I kept the 2017, I most certainly would have not tried to modify the existing intake, but I would go with one of the aftermarket options. Makes for a cleaner mod anyway. On my 2022 BRZ, two days after I got it home, I unplugged the stupid electronic sound creator. Funny thing: the car did not slow down one bit.

Which one? The printed snorkel or the Apexi Intake-D?

For the snorkel it is not public atm.

I like this one cause it's black.

I saw your post in the other forum where you were seeing increased load from midrange RPMs onwards without any loss on the low end; that technically proves the snorkels can present gains without any drawbacks. Was that graph before or after AVCS tuning?

I have someone who is also trying out a new snorkel - similar to the HKS intake duct V2 to test as a prototype.

It's after AVCS tuning for the non-bellmouth snorkel. But it is not the stock vs short one comparison.
