PERRIN Silicone Intake Duct Review - Page 5 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

If this part is going to be close to what they are saying it is I would suggest going with the ZETA silcione which is the same thing for cheaper. Unless Perrin has any specific reason why they are charging 70 dollars more if they price it at 200.

troll much?

why don't you start your own thread? It's really easy to do and you can tell everyone what you think and what parts are over priced and sh!tty...

If you like buying cheap parts that's your business. You don't know they are the exact same thing so don't spout your beliefs as factual information.. Neither joeboxer or Perrin deserve your comments and rude behavior.

Dont expect it to do any better then theirs when its basically the same thing.

Well if you look more closely, the Perrin has a compound bend and larger radius bend then just a 90 degree elbow. I'm not sure if that's worth any power, but it does make the manufacturing more complex.

This is true i'm looking at a pic on my phone and the tube turns out before making the bend to go to the airbox. I would be willing to bet it has a fairly decent amount larger inside diameter in the bend.

If you are looking at it from behind the throttle body it actually looks like a question mark. ?

I'M ARGUING WITH EVERYONE ON THIS PAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE ALL MORE WRONGERER THAN A VERY WRONG PERSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mike2100 · 12-01-2012, 09:42 PM

Is this not a review thread? Does Perrin not enjoy feedback on their products? Why should anyone feel they're not allowed to post a negative opinion on a product?. Sheesh

I think $200 is too much for what you get, and I bet I'm not alone.

JoeBoxer · 12-01-2012, 09:49 PM

I mainly took offense to the statement that Perrin was trying to rip us off by charging more for the same part. Nobody here but Perrin knows what they spend to make it and it's been said that this isn't exactly the same as the others. Does somebody with the Zeta want to measure the circumference of theirs in the middle of the bend and i'll do the same?

ill86 · 12-01-2012, 09:49 PM

There are polite ways to say things and then trolling asshat ways of saying things. That is the difference.

I agree $200 is expensive but I'm not going to drag someone through the mud and go off topic either.

You're right though.. Free speech is popular here.

peace

The outside circumference of the Zeta silicon tube is 11 inches along the whole body. So the OD would be 3.5 inches.

Hmm, i had to use a very non scientific way to measure but i am a little over 10" circumference in the bend of the Perrin. I will check again tomorrow my car was a little warm from some testing

Thickness of the silicone could be different also though.

Good day, how much of a change was necessary to compensate for the Perrin Intake Tube? Toni changed your tune, was the intake and exhaust that required the update tune or just the intake? Thanks

JoeBoxer · 12-02-2012, 02:33 AM

Honestly i don't know for sure, i would say the intake. I installed the catback the day before Thanksgiving, the intake yesterday and the overpipe today. It was fine for the whole 9 days with the catback, the intake threw it off yesterday and i think the overpipe really did my old tune in today. Since everything was done in 10 days i didn't want to bother him with new files for each part when i knew i had other stuff on the way.

loose intake Joe/ get tuned for it
