Great question! I would like to know this as well.

The foam you're thinking of which is prone to degrading is the polyester type which is found in sponges and washing materials.

If you check the blog for their R&D, Perrin states they use a poly-urethane compound for their foam filter and it is wire reinforced to prevent collapsing.

Great review. I rather have a dry filter also.

FR-S Matt · 01-24-2013, 05:39 PM

Since it gets hot as hell in Texas, this isn't a bad choice for a CAI due to the position. I'm just curious to see the intake temps versus the air boxes to see if that position really does make a difference.

zooki · 01-24-2013, 06:50 PM

I would think the air temps would be the same as a stock setup since they pull in air from the exact same place.

FR-S Matt · 01-24-2013, 07:45 PM

Sorry, I mean intakes like AIRAID, aFe, etc that pull from the front bumper location. I want to see that the Perrin truely stays colder. That would do it for me since it gets 100+ here in the summer and I want my car to have the coldest air possible.

I'll try to remember to get print-outs this time...unfortunately though I don't own a scanner so I'll have to take a picture of the print-out and then post it.

Great install write-up.
I'm "ocd" about having all same mfg parts installed. Perrin is a company doing just that for us and making sure the product is fully tested & not rushing it out on the market. Their blog is great, goes in detail about parts. Customer service is great also. So to me that is worth the extra dollars you are going to spend vs. other mfg products.

This video is from my FR-S.. but yes, they are originally from the SEMA show car, and not productions colors. Also all the other "Oh so Orange" parts that haven't been installed yet.

EvoXDD · 01-24-2013, 09:04 PM

Just ordered the perrin intake and inlet along with other goodies. I am very excited so I will of course make a thread about it lol

Appreciate it. Hm. Well perhaps an exterior honda flyby from the front will give us some nice VEEEEETTEEECCCC roar... minus the whole Vtec bit...

Haha I hope so

Once it dries out a little here, I will get my blueFRS wielding buddy of mine to make a video with me (not like that) and get all the sounds for ya
