Overview
The Perrin Short Ram Intake is a performance upgrade tailored specifically for Subaru EJ engine platforms, including the 2002-2007 WRX, 2004-2007 WRX STI, and 2004-2008 Forester XT. This intake system enhances airflow efficiency by reducing intake restrictions, resulting in increased horsepower, improved throttle response, and a more aggressive turbo sound. It is ideal for Subaru enthusiasts seeking a reliable, bolt-on solution to elevate their vehicle's performance and auditory presence without extensive modifications.
Engineered with precision, the intake features mandrel-bent aluminum tubing that maintains smooth airflow velocity while providing durability and corrosion resistance. The washable, reusable oiled open-cell filter ensures superior filtration without sacrificing airflow, reflecting Perrin Performance’s commitment to quality and functional design. The intake’s powder-coated finish not only protects against environmental elements but also adds a clean, OEM+ aesthetic to the engine bay.
For Subaru owners, this intake system delivers tangible real-world benefits by unlocking additional power potential inherent in the EJ engine platform. While the intake is designed for direct fitment using OEM mounting points and can operate on a stock tune, professional tuning is recommended to maximize horsepower and torque gains. The enhanced intake sound also contributes to a more engaging driving experience, making it a practical and enjoyable upgrade for WRX, STI, and Forester XT drivers.
