FINDING THE BEST SUBARU WRX COLD AIR INTAKE! 

Make sure to follow @throtl on instagram for next giveaway announcement. Automatic entry for following! 🤘

I have an AEM CAI in wrinkle red with an AEM pre-filter on my WRX. It's been on there for almost 4 years now and I have not had a single issue with it. The only thing I would recommend is for the true CAI, the style that draws air from outside the engine bay, buy a pre-filter just in case any water or road grime gets in there. Also, don't forget to tune the car once you put a few mods on there. An intake and downpipe will make you run lean and have boost creep issues without a tune. Not to mention you'll want the full potential of power gains from your new parts. That being said, the induction noises that come from this intake are wonderful. There's a whole lotta suck, squeeze, bang, and blow off noises that make me moist every time I drive the car.

Naw , Perrin is the best , their cold air intake makes the engine rumble stand out, especially with their big air filter. And the cherry on top, it’s powder coated for heat reduction. ☝🏽💪🏾

I like these videos, unboxing and opinions on different models instead of other videos that only review one

This build is already getting sweet. This Subie is sick, motivates me for my channel and my WRX build!

It's a close and tought decision in my opinion between the AEM and PERRIN. They both look amazing.

Aem is the way to go

Perrin looks the nicest but aem seems the best fit for color and carb legal. Love your channel love all you guys keep up the great content!!!

A tune is a must on those EJ engines! Once you add breathing mods, they tend to run lean. Don't want you guys to have to replace that engine!

You should talk to Perrin about any mod you plan. Jeff and the team there know their stuff and are always there to answer questions even if you are not buying. He's been messing with turbo Subaru's since way before we got WRX's here in the US.

Perrin all day! Wrinkle Black and a better finish all around, definitely my choice.

Changing the turbo inlet house makes a big difference with the intake. I have owned a few wrx and Perrin is going to be your best bet. The new Turbo inlet house is rubber and not plastic.

I ran that Perrin on my sti and the foam eventually tore apart and sucked in the foam into my turbo, could of just been that I was running 550whp+, but just thought I'd let u know.

The production value on the green screen set is amazing! Really convincing at first. Just add some acoustic paneling to get rid of the echo and you guys are solid! 🤘

Make sure you guys tune it after you install it you dont want it to run lean

Perrin for sure!

Make sure to install an accessport with that or anything for a retune so it doesn’t lean out! Ej’s are super finicky and need a retune for pretty much any part you put on them

Choose the Perrin

Injen CAI come already tuned. I have one on my VW rabbit and dam it sound amazing. I have a Perrin CAI on my Subaru wrx and I think I prefer INJEN.

Perin but you will need a tune with any engine mods with the ej engines. No joke.

I’m liking the Perrin intake the best. Thanks for making these videos for the wrx, I’m buying myself one soon and wanting to know what brands for certain mods to do, helps out a lot!

Perrin

PERRIN🤘

Injen is good. I had one in my 02. Sounds so nice!

If the INJEN was wrinkle red like mine was I’d go with that one piece (although a pain to install) but I’ve always like the stealth look of the Perrin. Went with their stealth front mount kit for the build we did on my buddies ‘11 sti

Mickey hit the nail on the head per usual! Perrin ftw but not being CARB legal would make me choose the AEM. I'm in San Diego as well. Keep up the good work my dudes! Appreciate the quality content!

Please tune the wrx to run on premium vape juice before you give it away just to save the hassle for the new owner 🍻

I have the injen CAI and that shit makes my car sound so good

Not disappointed at all with my mishimoto CAI after watching this, I would probably go AEM if I were to pick from these three however.

Gotta go with perrin! And make sure to,get a tune, possibly a access port as well,with it.

perrin def!!!

I love perrin and thats what I have but I would go with AEM so be a little different and get some color under the engine bay!

Great video. I think the AEM is the best install for the giveaway aspect so that no matter who the winner is they won’t have to swap out the stock intake for smog things. The Perrin does look the best though with the wrinkle black finish. Keep up the great work! Can’t wait for the install videos to come pouring in to my notifications. Also can’t wait to find out what else is going on the car since you know it will be done right when you all are doing it.

I have an injen and love the sound it has!!!!! But that aem with smog might be ur best bet

AEM all the way. I have their kit for my F150 and I love it. No complaints

Congratulations Evan Beckerman!!!!! 10:25 so adorable.

So if I bought the Perrin Intake would the accessport have a tune that would support it? Or would I need to go to a pro tuner? Seems like a big hassle for just an intake. I see that they offer a tune for their intake on the Accessport but not sure if the tune would support any other aftermarket intake like grimmspeed or Perrin etc. this could be a stupid question.

Injen for sure

I vote AEM. It looks sweet, but most important it’s CARB legal. The Perrin looks great also, but not CARB legal.

Use the Perrin pipping and aem filter

injen for sure

Keep up the good work guys!

CAIs and front mounts are 9/10 NOT going to fit together on WRXs. They go thru the same hole on the passenger side fenders. Even if they each go thru a different hole the pipes on one are gonna prevent the other from fitting. You gotta get a short ram intake if you’re gonna run an FMIC bud

My OCD Kicked in right when he put the boxes down😂

Aem cause their filters hold up great. I have have 200k on my aem dry flow air filter in my truck.

Better than comparing 3 of the same exhaust...

From that selection Perrin is best one but because you do live in California I say go with the AEM. Now definitely get it tuned regardless which one you choose as the car will lean out and boom goes the motor. Best route woulda been going with a Cobb AP and a Cobb SRI or K&N SRI and done the OTS map.

You can never go wrong with Perrin. In my personal opinion far superior to the other too. Not just cai but all their products. Use Perrin on my 04 wrx. Cai. Aos. Mounts. Turbo inlet. Perrin all the way! Not to mention Perrin looks the most oem+ which is what we all know you like.

Mickey spec is the AEM, go Mickey spec

Always go Injen

Injen all the way

Perrin! Should have checked out Grimmspeed tho. Might as well install that and a down pipe at the same time so you can get it all tuned and really wake it up

When i saw other Perrin products it's like next level of quality from other 2

Shouldve gone "Process West" pretty much every Wrx here in Aus rock their parts

Like the review, I’m pretty in love with Perrin products

Perrin, in my experience has always been better. Have used it on all my Subaru’s.

Option number three, please!!

So we are just going to ignore the wrinkle paint on top of the MAF on the perrin?

for the ej motor, AEM is preferred by most tuners

I’m running the AEM on my civic. Love em!

I like the unboxing it's so satisfying

PERRIN the way to go, AEM is just trash that looks a little nice.

Injen all day

Sick bro keep up the good work man 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Aem then perrin then injen but all are good im sure there wouldn't be any difference in performance but just my opinion

Went with the AEM CAI in my 09 wrx. Love it.

AEM with the blue filter lol blue on blue would be awesome

Perrin is always the answer

What’s gonna happen ? I installed my Perrin cold air intake just a short part with mass airflow sensor on it ? Looks cool anyway Both aluminum pieces on it looks weird and is almost under the bumper

Use the Perrin one, I've heard it's amazing

When installing these filters, do you need to tune the car ?

i run the injen on my wrx

Perrin is the way to go!

It actually passes smog just don’t mess with the catalytic converter and your good.

Let’s get throtl 1M next!!

Aem because its red and blue. Jk. Still aem. I think Tj previously mentioned sabrinas aem was a bit louder than the one they attached on her s2k. Anyway, why is the perrin pre-oiled? Anyone care to educate me? Hehe

Need to use manual focus on the top camera next time. Lol just sayin'. I'd definitely go with either the AEM or the Perrin.

Does Perrin intake require a tune?

blue for sure!

Not aem

Hold up hold up , who’s garage is that ? Need a tour!

Perrin for sure

I have a Subaru wrx with a cvt transmission, I’m trying to see what Intake would be most reliable. Anyone got any suggestions?

Should’ve went with grimmspeed

I would go for the A'pexi cold air intake

Perin for sure

Dam i wouldve thought the foam restricts air.. Nice to know tho

How much power did it give you

Dude you need to be waring latex cloves or nitril gloves

Perrin all the way!

Perrin, aem, injen for this application

You are missing the Grimmspeed intake.

The filters are supposed to be oiled.

Perrin for the steez

Hahahaha unbox therapy, truer words have never been spoken

Perrin all the way!!

Evan l pick the AEM intake 👍😊

AEM only because of the Perrin not being 50 state legal.

perrin seems to be the best quality imo

Buy the Perrin one
