PERRIN Silicone Intake Duct Review - Page 15 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

vwong · 02-26-2013, 03:41 AM

Just installed mine along with a perrin drop-in filter. Didn't take too long and i'm a complete noob when it comes to these things. I didn't reset my ECU but I've probably driven 100 miles+ since then so hopefully it's ok.

It definitely is quieter now since i removed the sound generator and it sounds a little different. Seems to almost make a whoosh sound when building up the revs. As far as more power I dont notice any difference but it definitely feels much smoother when building up the revs especially in the top end when it use to feel like it would struggle a bit there.

After my ECU has adjusted after a few days of driving with the HKS drop in and Perrin tube I can tell it pulls a little stronger above 4500 RPM all the way to redline. Its hard to tell if the sound has changed much.

So is every vendor out of stock on perrin inlet hoses? i hear it's back ordered at least 2 weeks.

I drank the kool aid. Started with the Silicon, and then added more metal.

What he said.. Tell us your FEELings....

With a Unichip Perrin & All Headers Base Tune, Perrin CAI and Silicon Intake Tube, Motive Concepts Test Pipe, and an Accelerated Performance Cat-Back Exhaust, it feels, well...

Orgasmic.

And it sounds that way too.

I haven't found a better combination yet.

Where did you guys purchased your perrin inlet hose from? Every vendor I know in the west coast seem to be out of it.

How was the CAI install? Is removing the bumper difficult without power tools?

No power tools. Easy peasy one man one hour job.
