PERRIN Performance 17-19 Subaru BRZ/86 Cold Air Intake (Auto Only) Wrinkle Red

Perrin Cold Air Intake Red 2017-2020 BRZ / 2017-2020 86 Automatic Transmission Only | +5 HP Gain | Cold Air Intake System

Overview

The Perrin Cold Air Intake for the 2017-2020 Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86 with automatic transmission is a precision-engineered upgrade designed to increase horsepower and enhance engine sound without requiring 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 filter away from engine heat sources, it ensures a steady supply of cooler, denser air for improved combustion efficiency and throttle response.

Perrin’s design philosophy centers on maintaining proper MAF sensor alignment and tubing diameter to preserve accurate air-fuel ratios, avoiding common issues like 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 86 owners, this intake delivers a subtle yet noticeable performance boost of approximately 5 horsepower while adding a throaty, deep growl under load that enhances the driving experience without compromising daily drivability. The intake’s powder-coated red finish also adds a touch of visual appeal under the hood, making it a practical and stylish upgrade for enthusiasts seeking reliable power gains and OEM+ fitment.
