Right by the battery too, i ran my amp power wires and rca's in about an hour and a half and this was the first time i had done it myself. That included pulling the radio to connect the rca's to it.

I know there was some confusion on our side about when this part was released and if it was for sale. Sorry for the initial confusion, but we do have good stock on these now and the webpage should be done any day so you can buy them online. For now give us a ring and we can get one shipped out to you ASAP.

Here is a link to a bunch of new info on the part and more pictures and dyno graph! TAKE ME TO THE PERRIN INLET HOSE BLOG POST!!

Here is one of the diagrams showing a cutaway of the PERRIN Hose and the stock hose.

Just installed mine. It really helps to clean up the engine bay by taking out the pipe that goes into the cabin. I kind of miss the noise from inside the cabin but knowing the engine can breath that much better puts my mind at ease.

Perrin's releasing a fix for that in a few weeks.

Your website states this inlet hose makes 2-4 wheel hp "across the RPM band" on a stock BRZ "with no other aftermarket parts installed."

The dyno chart on your website is also a little confusing because it says FLY WHEEL TORQUE and FLY WHEEL POWER right above the dyno graph... but the gains are written as WHEEL HP GAIN next to the graph.

Called up and ordered mine yesterday, thanks to Chris for helping me out. Excited for it to arrive.

Also order the k&n drop in a few days ago, so I look forward to the pair helping the engine breathe better.

These dynos always say "flywheel"...... ignore it.

I like everything about this hose, except I want to keep the sound tube (and maybe the resonator). Maybe I'm the only one, but I like the sound tube.

I liked my sound tube until I changed my axleback, which provides enough sound.

What he said. The Dynapack labels dyno charts flywheel, but it is always measured to the wheels.

They are actually in stock! Give us a ring and we can get you one before we put them up on our site.

This is a constant issue as the software says flywheel but its really at the wheels. Dynapack says the "flywheel" is the hub, which it is a flywheel, just not the engines flywheel. For instance, a stock car on our dyno makes 165 Wheel HP. If it made closer to 200, then we could say its engine HP.

If we get enough people asking, there is no reason we couldn't make a new part number to add this in. This will not happen right away though. We want to see how people like it first.
