PERRIN Silicone Intake Duct Review
 
I have just installed this on my FR-S, pic was taken before i tightened down all the way it may look a little off but the fit is perfect. It removes the noise generator and they include a cap where it goes in to the firewall. The cap is a lot more substantial than the one that comes with the Dynosty kit, i have both so i will post a comparison photo with the rest of the pics tonight. They will have other colors available i didn't get to choose but i actually like the blue.

I previously had a Cosworth air filter installed, Perrin pulley, Motiv Test Pipe, MXP exhaust, and FA20Club Stage 2 reflash. Adding this tube and the Perrin filter definitely has improved throttle response and has a little better sound too without that little resonator thats on the factory tube. The exhaust and intake have made a very nice difference in the performance of the car, i have the Motiv Overpipe coming tomorrow and with that and a new file from FA20Club i'm confident i'm going to be making some good power i will definitely try to get to a dyno soon. More pics and review to come this evening.

Joe it's beautiful and it keeps the sensor in the same location

I didn't get to pick the color this was provided for testing purposes, i would happily spend the money on it though i think this is the ideal setup that's available now.

Thanks, i have to say thanks to @PERRIN_Chris for this i inquired about it months ago and he messaged me the other day offering this part so i was very happy he contacted me and provided me this opportunity.

No offense to you but that looks awful. Like a home made solution. I thought it was blue electrical tape wrapped around PVC at first. Hopefully the final one looks better.

I like the way it looks. Anyways , function over form brotha :thumbup:

They usually have Red,Blue and Black for colors. So I would guess they will eventually be doing the same for this part.

Everybody is entitled to their opinion but i respectfully disagree, looks way better than stock and i'm very happy with it.

I also have the same item and some radiator hoses coming from No Limit Motorsport pretty soon so i will compare them when they come in, might get red or black on those since i have a red Tanabe strut bar coming in the future also.

Awesome! I've been looking at getting one of these and I was curious to see whether keeping the noise generator was worth it or not....It sounds like you get just as good of sound without it, so maybe it's time to clean up my engine bay a little!

I prefer it without the sound tube but this makes it even better.
stock < no sound tube < silicone tube and high flow filter

That is the beauty of reinforced silicone tubing. ;)

Looks clean. I like it.
