I started to install a set of Verus fuel rail covers a few days ago and I realized it was not possible to install the passenger cover with the factory sound generator tubing on the car. The sound generator tubing bolts to the passenger side OEM fuel rail cover and there are no attachment points on the Verus part.

I was planning to upgrade the intake system when the JDL 4-2-1 I have on the way arrives anyway, so I went ahead and ordered a Perrin inlet tube on Amazon. I was shocked because the part actually arrived the next day with regular shipping. Aftermarket car parts normally take forever to show up.

The quality of the Perrin inlet is good. The piece fit with no issues and the install was pretty straightforward. The instructions could be better. I had to go to the internet to verify a few things.

The clearance between the belt coming from the alternator and the Perrin inlet is a little close. I forced the inlet tube as far as I could into the airbox and I could barely get the 1/2" clearance recommended by the Perrin install instructions.

I was a little annoyed the Perrin logo is not perfectly centered on the top of the tube. I had to force the part in ways it did not want to naturally sit so the logo would be as close to center as possible when fastened down.

The deletion of the sound generator tubing and the Perrin inlet really clean up the engine bay. The Perrin inlet is 1lb 12oz (1.75lb) lighter than the OEM intake and sound generator tubing.

I will make sure to post the install pics of the Verus fuel rail covers soon.
