Perrin FMIC 2022+ Subaru WRX

[@HeavyMetalWRX]

Big thank you for the recognition. Seeing someone like you help out the little guys like me makes me happy that youre a down to earth chill dude. Peering behind the scenes of youtube has shown me some not so great things..but you sir...are fantastic. 🤘🤘

[@Smeedia]

I appreciate you answering my calls at the most random of times 😅 I tell you! I am normal dude like everyone else 🫡

[@DumbTheories]

I actually think its awesome that Melanie likes to hang at the shop with you even if she naps, that's real love right there!

[@Smeedia]

She comes and just hangs out 🔥 she da best 🥳

[@ryanyob506]

so thankful someone else had that much fun putting that stupid oily filter on!

I felt the same way about the stock BPV after I installed an intake on my VB. I installed the GFB DV+ BPV and it’s so much better. It still uses the stock solenoid but the valve is mechanical and held closed with a spring so it only opens and closes with vacuum and boost like what we’re used to. It also only opens like 1mm vs 3-5mm for the stock unit so it sounds much more refined.

[@boosTiMon]

It’s interesting seeing the evolution of aftermarket grow for new cars. Aftermarket parts are so limited with some new cars that each part released can often be really exciting to many people. 10-20 years later… a plethora of parts available!!

[@Smeedia]

Right?! I remember the early days of subaru when parts were limited and there were TONS of DIY mods 😅

[@boosTiMon]

🛠️ 🙄🫡

[@ITZAWRAP_AU]

I didn't like the sound of my ETS intake until I replaced the bov to the turbosmart plumb back bov. Now it doesn't have that dragging sound the stock one makes

[@Davorox1]

Checking in again Chief 💀 It's a good thing I screenshot your help last night 😂

[@Smeedia]

Lol glad you got it 😅🫡

[@ivanortiz1565]

Thanks to you, I have a VB now. Thanks

[@crash2181]

Just bought my 23 WRX and I am loving your videos, almost cant wait for warranty to be up so I can start tuning lol Keep teaching up plebs how to do it 👍

[@seantoohey2902]

I started watching it last night and it got pulled mid video. Glad it’s up again now!

[@Smeedia]

Yt blacked out like 60 sec of video for some reason last night 😅

Looks very nice, I kinda like that odd valve sound

[@Smeedia]

It's so odd, you can hear everything fluctuation 😅

Oh the video is back 😮 Saw it posted yesterday and it was gone before I knew it

[@iamchrisdammit]

[@brandonarthur4566]

Try a cone filter instead of the foam filter

[@Smeedia]

I feel like it would be just as loud? 👀

[@seva.luchianov]

Yay

[@Smeedia]

🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@benmorris7276]

I would suggest keeping the stock airbox and going with either an AEM dry flow drop in panel filter or a Perrin drop in panel filter. I have the AEM dry flow panel filter with the Carbon filter delete in my impreza and it's honestly fantastic

[@Smeedia]

I've got the Cobb drop-in filter for the stock airbox 🫡

[@Mark-jd1jx]

Installed a perrin intake for a friend same issue, filter kept slipping off. New clamps seemed to hold it better than the ones it came with

[@clayrankin3567]

I’m surprised I didn’t get the code after I put mine on!

[@MadDoawg]

I wish I was able to get Perrin or preferably Grimmspeed intercooler and intake but Unfortunantly I live in commifornia so I can only get COBB intake and FMIC. Which I have no complaints about I just prefer the red piping that Grimmspeed provides over the flat back. But I have one more year to go on warranty after that it’s off to the races.

[@ENSYYSNE]

The cops ask what brand your from mount is?? That is insane… cops here in a Canada pretty mod friendly especially during the summer months. Only thing they hassle for is no front plate. I’d take your weather over our cops any day though lol🙂

[@juliomiranda6801]

same here. ended up going with mostly cobb parts. no complaints they're built solid

[@ryandrews9612]

Dudes ballin...puts a 800$ top mount on then a week later throws on a front mount...$$$$

Did i not watch this last night? And now it says it uploaded only 5 hours ago?

[@Smeedia]

You did, I took it down last night. Yt had a processing issue where it lost 60 sec of video 🙏

[@maffuoh436]

I can't believe the Rio doesn't go back on. The car will fold if it hit lightly in the front. Other than that, awesome as always 👌👌

[@Matt_B0309]

Battery relocation next?👀

[@Smeedia]

Not on this car 😅

[@chrischarles9218]

I've done the loud car thing. If it's a daily I don't want it to sound like a track car as that shit gets old quick.

[@Smeedia]

Agreed, I don't want to hear the diverter valve the entire time 😅

[@Panzerlang]

Having the CVT is going to save me so much money. Lol. ETS Extreme Catback, Radium dual catch-cans and a radar detector, I'm done. :D Still love watching the videos though.

[@Smeedia]

The CVT is a saving grace in that manner 😅🔥

[@RushroyaleAddicts]

do you feel more turbo lag from the FMIC compared to the TMIC ?

Question whats betterctop mount or bumper intercooler

[@Smeedia]

Both are good options, I have. Video covering both. In short though. I'd suggest a fmic for bigger power. And a tmic for moderate power 🙏

[@connor158]

wht vent mount do you use for the cobb ap?

[@Smeedia]

amzn.to/40gdhIA

[@Poe_Tae_Toes]

Doesn't removing the front crash bar severely reduced the safety of the vehicle? Also, when you installed the cobb stuff you mentioned you were going to make these car mods relatable for a person's daily driver. But with the safety gone here, I guess that idea has shifted to.

[@Smeedia]

The Cobb stuffs going back on, this was to gain some feedback on the stuff. 🤝 But yes ideally you want to keep your crash bar

[@harleycharlie5330]

Ets has a front mount crash bar… I was going to ask if you would sell the cobb charge pipe I bought my cobb top mount before they designed that charge pipe so I’ll just have to get one no biggie

[@matheusgiovannini571]

You’re a master in modifying Subarus and I know you put the stock airbox back in, but for a daily driver running that intake with no box is just not something I would even consider

[@Subi_doo]

No. The crash bar is actually for low speed incidents and bumper support. All of the high speed accident related stuff is behind the crash bar in the form of crumple zones. They make aftermarket crash bars that you can add for peace of mind only, and are just as effective or ineffective as the stock one was. Chances are, if you collide front end, and you crumple the crush zones, you would have done so with the crash bar anyhow.

[@christopherthompson9642]

Yessir 😅

Hi, can Wrx be modified to consume less fuel like Golf GTI?

It sure can. Just put a vw engine in there.
