This Perrin turbo inlet hose is a top - notch performance upgrade for your Subaru. It fits multiple models including the 2008 - 2014 WRX, 2005 - 2009 Legacy GT, 2005 - 2009 Outback XT, and 2009 - 2013 Forester XT. With a 2.4 - inch inner diameter, it's made of blue silicone material supported by a stainless - steel wire. This design not only fits stock or any stock - location 2.4in turbo compressors but also significantly improves airflow. As a result, it increases horsepower, decreases turbo spool time, and gives you better throttle response. It comes with a 5 - year manufacturer warranty, and you can install it in about 3 hours without any tuning required. Its 5 - ply silicone construction with an internal wire skeleton offers maximum durability and rigidity, free from the weight and heat issues of metal parts. Unlike the stock corrugated rubber inlet, it ensures a smooth internal passageway, allowing more intake air and generating more power. The stainless - steel embedded wire system prevents the hose from collapsing. We strongly suggest upgrading the inlet when upgrading your turbocharger to simplify the installation process of both components.
Using this Perrin turbo inlet hose is quite straightforward. First, gather all the necessary tools before starting the installation. It should take about 3 hours to install, and you don't need to tune your vehicle. When installing, make sure it fits correctly with your stock or any stock - location 2.4in turbo compressor. As for maintenance, check the hose regularly for any signs of wear or damage. The silicone material is resistant to heat soak, but in extreme conditions, it's still a good idea to inspect it periodically. The stainless - steel wire support helps prevent the hose from collapsing, but if you notice any deformation, contact the manufacturer. With a 5 - year warranty, you can have peace of mind knowing that you're covered for any manufacturing defects. This product is a great addition to your Subaru, improving its performance and giving you a better driving experience.
