Interesting unrelated sidebar: Earlier posts from HKS have listed the different HKS-branded products that they had installed on their vehicle when they put it on the dyno and calibrated their flash editor tunes (Exhaust, plugs, intake, etc). Following the instructions provided with the V3 kit, I ordered the HKS Intake Duct to save myself from having to cut my existing intake duct to allow room for the intercooler piping. When the part arrived and I 'presented' it to the vehicle, it was obvious it wasn't going to fit. I don't know whether it's because of the redesign of the intercooler/piping for the V3 kit, or if the '16 model BRZ features slightly different positioning of the AC condenser, but the HKS intake duct would not fit, under any circumstances, at least not without cutting a big chunk out of it, which would seem purpose-defeating. Normally, I wouldn't mind too much, but the part was north of $200, and the vendor, of course, would not take it back as a return, because the packaging had been opened. So, just an FYI, if you're contemplating this kit. That said, I love the kit. It looks spectacular, and runs beautifully. At the time I purchased my kit, the Flash Editor wouldn't work with my '16. So, I went with a custom ECUTek tune and am completely satisfied with it.
