Skunk2 BRZ/FRS Powerbox Intake System

Skunk2’s Cold-Air Intake is manufactured from molded polymer plastic for superior intake air insulation when compared to aluminum as well as for a smooth, continuous taper. When compared to aluminum, the thicker polymer material results in a superior thermal barrier and lower intake air temperatures drastically reducing heat soak in comparison to other intakes.

For optimal power, the BRZ/FRS Cold Air Intake draws in the coldest and highest pressure air available. This is achieved by placing the Ram Air Box’s inlet duct in front of the radiator where the most clean and cold air is found. The Ram Air Box is manufactured from crosslinked polymer to provide superior thermal rejection and structural strength as the air filter’s housing.

Skunk2 Cold Air Intake systems for the BRZ/FRS include a Skunk2 Composite Velocity Stack which is a $50 added value. The Composite Velocity Stack utilizes race proven technology and is engineered to optimize air flow while maximizing velocity. The glass fiber nylon structure imparts high impact strength with low thermal conductivity to significantly reduce heat soak and air intake temperatures. The design also incorporates dimples on the entry surface to extend the boundary layer into the mouth. The dimples increase the effective cross sectional flow area causing higher total mass air flow compared to other velocity stacks. The Throttle Body Velocity Tube is manufactured from crosslinked polymer for thermal isolation which again reduces heat and heat soak. It also features a smooth, continuous flow velocity taper from 96 mm internal diameter to 70m mm internal diameter which allows high air flow ultimately producing one of the best flowing and filtered Cold Air Intakes for the BRZ/FRS. It connects to the factory throttle body, no cutting or fabrication needed as it is a direct bolt on application.

The Skunk2 BRZ/FRS Cold Air Intake uses a massive 6.8” diameter double cone filter element which will allow for larger dust holding capacities. The cone filter is also washable which will avoid future expenses on a replacement filter. The supplied MAF Sensor Coupler is compatible with the factory MAF sensor for an easy bolt on application. This is the highest flowing BRZ/FRS intake on the market.

Ok so it's plastic. Anything other than fluffed up marketing?

On an engineering side it looks very well thought out. Good layout of snorkel right up to the heat divider vent. Great flow into intake tube with perforated funnel that should add a good turbulence to speed up flow.

The only downside to this is the material choice and the snorkel has a sharp leading edge. The price is also very high seeing as the gains will be less then 2%.

Looks nice. Any dyno, videos. I'll be the first to get one once they are out.

It looks like the snorkel and airbox are one piece. How do you install it?

And how does the MAF curve look compared to the stock airbox?

Air straightener?
Installed pics?
Instructions?

3rd party dynos please

Wonder if it will work with any of the FI kits that use the OEM airbox? The elbow looks similar shape to the OEM one.

Is the elbow removable? This looks like something that I'd be tempted to replace the OEM box for my Sprintex S/C if it would work.

Damn, this intake looks very interesting.

This looks to be the best designed system brought to market so far. Looking forward to seeing the results.

Loosen/remove the radiator brace I'd guess...

This product appears to include a resonator delete and a sound tube delete. Others have dyno-tested alternative intake systems and found that keeping the resonator actually improves performance. So I would want to see some test results before assuming that this is a superior design. Although I admit it does look pretty nice.

It looks like a good design I'm interested in test results back in the early 2000's I had nothing but good service and quality from skunk 2 with my 00 civic si

Maybe with the STOCK air box, but you can't assume that a different air box (or different tube) design will lose without the resonator. It's a completely different system with different variables.

I agree on the rest. Like I said in my original post, the ENTIRE OP is nothing but marketing fluff. Yes it looks cool (different...sorta), but that doesn't mean crap without numbers.
