Zeta Intake Piping (w/o Sound Generator Outlet) Installed - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Got my intake pipe from Zeta performance today and decided to throw it on. The install literally took me 5 minutes. Quick photo after the install.

Initial visual impression is that the engine bay looks a bit cleaner, and less clutter. I wasn't a fan of the noise generator to begin with, though I understand the intent.

Took it for a quick drive to get gas afterwards. Don't feel anything immediate at this point, as it was simply a local drive down two lights to get gas and back home. Will see how it feels more tomorrow on the way to work with a longer drive. Sound level sounds the same, though with the sound generator device removed, the high end sound was significantly decreased in the cabin.

I wanted a black silicone noise-gen delete pipe like this a while ago before I bought an intake. Looks good! How much was it?

Picked it up from Zeta Performance for $190. Not bad, considering that the WRX/STi turbo inlet hoses go for $250-$400...though they have a couple more fittings here and there. I do appreciate how clean and simple this one is.
