hks just came out w a new funnel/snorkel/pre air filter system, but this ones unique in that it comes with essentially a radiator shroud to direct air into the funnel. Check out the pics at Japan parts,

edit: price is bonkers tho, almost $600

this is a tuning company called Kansei. different tuning branch not an actual HKS part. this is made of carbon and blocks off all outside and engine heat. looks to be the real deal but pretty expensive. i feel that anyone with some fiberglass know-how could make the block off plates and save a few hundred bucks.

Spare yourself the dyno because these parts are not made for typical dyno conditions. I can speak from direct racing experience that these "ram air" type ducts are amazing and work wonders for the car IN THE CONDITIONS IT WAS MEANT TO BE USED. That is the key point. This is a circuit machine and those ducts work at speed. Above 60ish and above 5K rpm's you will know what i am saying. U cant truely dyno this without proper wind tunnel, but drive car the way i said and u will feel it.

I know this ram air style induction setup is much more for tracking the car due to airbox restricted classes and not gains on the dyno but I am keeping a strict record of upgrades and power gains.

@autoCAR where did you get your beatrush stuff from?

You would need to drive through a few feet of water to pose a problem. At that point you should have bought a jet ski!

@DAN_BRZ, if you search air element and scroll down to it, at the bottom it says "BRZ owner needs to cut bumper for this item to install." thats the only thing thats holding me back from ordering this.
