@johatan25 You won't be disappointed with this approach on the intake!!! After installing the Perrin silicone intake tube with OEM airbox and GREEN drop-in this past week, am extremely impressed with the improvement in performance over the Airaid setup!!!! Avg. mpg is down by .5 from before (now 30.2) but, having so much fun with acceleration now heavy right foot is probably the reason why...and, maybe the stop and go parking lot I encountered on IH35 the other day. BRZ definitely faster and more responsive...hard to resist driving aggressively.



Removed the "attachments" to the stock intake snorkel by drilling out the rivets (made it easier to put snorkel back under the nose and added two holes for xtra air to enter).



Also added a 1.5" hole for increased airflow/less restriction to the box and make mo sucking sound under the hood!!! Props to @Ricepuddin for the heads up on the Airaid issues!! Much happier since removing it...might plant some ivy in it or sell it on ebay!
