Bolt-on power, addictive turbo sounds, and crisp throttle response—all in one sleek package. Perrin’s Short Ram Intake for the 2002–2007 WRX, STI, and Forester XT is a proven upgrade for turbo Subaru owners looking to improve both performance and engine bay aesthetics.
Unlike restrictive factory airboxes that choke off flow at higher RPM, the Perrin intake frees up the turbo to breathe more efficiently. Constructed from CNC mandrel-bent aluminum, the intake pipe maintains consistent inner diameter and smooth airflow all the way to the turbo inlet. The precision-formed piping and high-flow filter work in harmony to reduce pressure drop and optimize volumetric efficiency, giving you faster spool-up, better top-end breathing, and an engine bay that looks like it means business.
This intake isn’t just about dyno numbers—it transforms the driving experience. The moment you hit boost, you’ll hear the unmistakable induction sounds of your EJ motor inhaling through the open filter. Paired with a blow-off valve, it makes for an exhilarating auditory upgrade that enthusiasts crave.
Tuned properly, the Perrin Short Ram Intake can support a variety of bolt-on setups including aftermarket downpipes, intercoolers, and upgraded turbos. It’s a common choice for those stepping into their first round of power mods while still maintaining daily-drivability and reliability. The compact short ram design also makes engine bay serviceability easier and keeps the filter away from potential water ingestion.
