Perrin's Inlet vs. Zeta's Inlet

Real differences I have noticed?

  • Perrin offers red, blue and black colors, not purple.
  • Zeta offers purple, not red, black or blue.
  • Both have a 3 inch diameter tube.
  • Perrin's is shaped a little bit different
  • Zeta's is very straight without much "bend" like Perrin's
Is there a big difference here or does it only come down to preference of color?
I don't have any data to back this up but i feel that the larger radius curve on the Perrin one will be better when power levels increase as it will provide less resistance. However, on my otherwise stock engine i didn't notice much difference between the stock tube and perrin tube other than sound. Quieter in the cabin without the sound tube and a bit more induction noise outside the car.
