Here is ZETAS silicone pricing taken directly from their thread. You guys are telling me the 80 more dollars your going to spend is going to be THAT MUCH BETTER OF QUALITY? They are going to be making a killing off of this when other companies are profiting just by selling it at that price. They are going to be charging 70 more dollars then ZETA and I believe 50 more then AVO. Both are respectable companies in this scene. Rediculous what people would pay just for a name on a product. I love Perrins products but this is ridiculous just for a silicone tube that is doubtful it will out perform the other 2 currently being sold. If anything it probably will do the SAME exact thing.

Do you guys honestly expect this to get more HP then the AVO/Zeta Silicone tubes that are already out? They dyno'd theirs and got 1 whp from it.
Dont expect it to do any better then theirs when its basically the same thing.

The PERRIN inlet hose is going to be around $200. When we sell it, it will be sold separately than the intake system, but we will probably have some kind of package so they could be purchased together.

200? Zeta and AVO both sell one similar to this. Why should we purchase this when theirs is 50-70 dollars cheaper for basically the same thing. I love you guys as a company but please give us members a reason why we should purchase this and pay 50 more than AVO's and Zetas versions of this. You could spend just a little more and get an intake if its going to be @ 200.

I am vain and don't mind spending extra money for a proven name in the business and the quality that comes along with that. That is why my closet has nothing but Kenneth Cole and D&G inside it. In that regard I, like many others, am a label whore and proud to be one at that.
Have fun in your Honda and your cheap, Chinese parts from eBay. :thumbdown:

LOL ya you go ahead and spend more for an item that other companies have released for cheaper. Other companies have them out on sale on these forums for 150. 50 dollars cheaper and they are from well known companies not some chinese knock offs. You really think spending more money for a quality intake hose is going to be a make or break difference? I can understand things like Turbos/SC but for an silicone hose that literally has very little R&D on it. You can save 50 bucks and get the SAME EXACT THING from AVO or ZEtA. OTherwise you can also spend a little more and get an intake if you prefer to spend your money on quality parts. Atleast they will do better then this for just a little more.

I won't comment on the price of this particular item but i feel that Perrin offers very fair pricing across the board for their products. Like any other company they are in the business to make a profit and the market for auto performance parts is hard with all the "made in China" ebay crap being sold cheap it hurts the legitimate companies a lot.

Not when a part like this costs little to nothing to make. You honestly think they are spending a lot to have these produced? Its a silicone tube FFS, This isnt an Exhaust or Header you are buying. They will be making HUGE profits off this item since its so marked up. If Zeta and AVO can make a profit selling it for 150 a tube then how much do you think Perrin will be making from this? Probably TONS more. 50 dollars more per tube is going to add up quick.
