Perrin Cold Air Intake Black 2013-2016 BRZ / 2013-2016 FRS | +5 HP Gain | Performance Intake System
Overview
The Perrin Cold Air Intake for the 2013-2016 Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S is a precision-engineered performance upgrade designed to increase horsepower and improve throttle response without requiring any tuning. This intake system replaces the restrictive factory airbox with a smooth, mandrel-bent aluminum tube and a high-flow oiled foam filter positioned behind the front bumper. By relocating the air filter away from engine heat sources like the exhaust header and radiator, it ensures a steady supply of cool, dense air for combustion, which translates to a noticeable power increase and a more aggressive intake sound under load.
Perrin’s design philosophy focuses on maintaining proper MAF sensor alignment and tubing diameter to preserve accurate air-fuel ratios, preventing common issues such as engine bogging or check engine lights that can occur with less refined aftermarket intakes. The intake’s CNC-machined MAF bung and a unique "pinch" in the tubing allow for a perfect fitment through the engine bay without any cutting or trimming, reflecting Perrin’s commitment to quality and ease of installation.
For Subaru BRZ and FR-S owners, this intake offers a reliable and straightforward power upgrade that enhances the driving experience while retaining factory-like drivability. The intake’s subtle yet aggressive induction sound signals a performance upgrade without overwhelming cabin noise, making it an ideal choice for enthusiasts seeking both function and form. Plus, with no ECU tuning required, it’s a hassle-free bolt-on that respects the platform’s balance and reliability.
