-Smoke_ Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I recently ordered a intake charge pipe for my Leggy. I was going to wait until I get it installed, but I just had to let the world know! Both Perrin and Scoobytuner sell them. It goes for about $100. I'm not sure if it's worth it, but it has to flow better than the stock accordian piece. I did the airbox mod, K&N filter, and I'm waiting for this. It should be a nice "stock" looking setup that should have pretty good breathing. I'm getting it in black. The part # is PSP-INT-355. here's a pic of a rex with it. http://www.perrinperformance.com/assets/headers/head01.jpgThis auction is for BRAND NEW and 100% GENUINE Perrin Intake Charge Pipe for the Subaru Impreza WRX STi Application: 2004+ STi http://www.perrinperformance.com/assets/titles/STI/Intake_Charge.gif http://www.perrinperformance.com/assets/images/subaru/tn/intake_hose01.jpg The PERRIN Performance™ intake charge pipe provides maximum horsepower and torque gains for those customers who want to retain their factory air box. The PERRIN Performance™ intake charge pipe system is designed to replace the corrugated and restrictive air hose of your factory intake system. The ultra smooth interior walls of this piece increase airflow and eliminating the factory hose corrugation, which disrupts airflow. http://www.perrinperformance.com/assets/images/subaru/tn/intake_hose02.jpg PERRIN™ intake components use colorful silicone tubing to dress up the engine bay and fight heat soak. Using Flexible silicone tubes make installation easy and prevent wear damage at contact points. http://www.perrinperformance.com/assets/images/misc/silicon_colors.gif "You poke it, You own it" - Man law supporter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSiWRX Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 ^ I think it's actually a WRX..... Look at the way that the proximal portion of the air scoop/ram dives into the fenderline, instead of tapering/cutting-off like ours. <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitetiger Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 what they really should make is the IC to TB hose. the stock one is alittle short for my perrin tmic making it b*tch to get on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Smoke_ Posted March 10, 2006 Author Share Posted March 10, 2006 That is a pic of a WRX. They don't have this part listed or pictured for the Leggy, as it is new. I believe with all of these pieces together (air box mod, K&N filter, and pipe), I should have a pretty good intake, without the noise, and water worries. I should be getting it in a few days, hopefully! "You poke it, You own it" - Man law supporter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Smoke_ Posted March 10, 2006 Author Share Posted March 10, 2006 performance or teh rice? I'm going for "stealth" performance. That's why I kept the airbox, and got this part in "stealthy" black. I like having the element of surprise! "You poke it, You own it" - Man law supporter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chappy Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 anything good about it besides looks? Just wondering if its worth the 100 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnAWD Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 $100 for a short piece of silicone hose? Thanks, but no. http://www.siliconeintakes.com - nothing custom, but the price is a bit better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmanzs Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 I just got my samco charge pipe today. I am kinda of disappointed because the pipe I ordered (i thought) was the pipe that the charge pipe connects to (with all the sensors) I will install it and give feedback of the pipe. It cant give that much more power because it is only about 6 inches long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Smoke_ Posted March 13, 2006 Author Share Posted March 13, 2006 anything good about it besides looks? Just wondering if its worth the 100 bucks. Chappy, I would say that depends on what you are looking for. If you have a stock filter and box, I would say no way. If you are looking to optimize for the best flow possible, while utilizing the stock airbox, and you have: 1) Aftermarket airfilter (K&N or Perrin etc.) 2) Performed airbox mod, and you do not have the 3" hole plugged, which decreases the air flow (I noticed the difference on mine, from plugged to open) I would say yes. I still haven't received mine yet, but it has to flow better than the stock accordian piece. I am going for the stealth setup, and to get the full potential out of this system, you would need to swap this. If you can find a piece of hose that would fit, it would do the same thing, for much cheaper. It only has two minor "S" bends. This is my view on it, take it or leave it!

jmanzs Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Well I installed it, it did what I expected it to do. No real gains from it but thats what I expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Smoke_ Posted March 13, 2006 Author Share Posted March 13, 2006 So do you think it flows better with the hole covered or not and why? I had a 3" plug in mine for a few tanks of gas, then I unplugged it, and modified the old baffle by cutting it to direct air into the hole, and I noticed much more pull from it. I was very happy with this mod. I actually took a pic, but I butchered my old baffle by cutting the front, and a side up. If I were to redo it, I would just cut the front open. I think of this as a "free ram air" setup. I just have 2 intakes! "You poke it, You own it" - Man law supporter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
