My concern was that little tube by the elbow of the intake pipe.

LOVE the Perrin filter. It sounds great, there is a noticeable increase in performance which at first I thought was placebo effect but, not at all, I can definitely feel and hear the difference.

My revs look good no strange idle issues or hissing noises coming from engine. Had it on for a few weeks now and performs great. No CELs either.

I love this combo and am really happy with it.

Sorry to resurrect this thread but how is the sound?? Does it sound similar to the way a cone filter sounds?? Did the aluminum intake pipe also increase the sound?? I removed the previous owners crappy cone filter CAI from my BRZ but I do miss the intake sound.
