Perrin is a vendor on here, and I am sure their solution would be to use a Perrin intercooler, but you may want to ask them anyways to see if there is any specific reason why not to do it.

it is much cheaper and easier to use the perrin fmic with the blow thru maf tube
IMO the stealth factor of the aps fmic doesn't outweigh the price and headaches it will cause you
good luck

The new perrin SS series comes with black piping and allows 06-07 to keep fog lights, you can always coat the core black

Doesn't really matter where it enters/exits the IC. The air goes through many tubes within the intercooler. Plus with all the turbulence and speed of the air within your intake system, there won't be any time to have the dense (cooler) air settle to the bottom of any tube.
