I am waiting for my new Intake Mani and when i get it i need to pressure test so i dont want to install it until the IM is on. Here are some pics so far:
Dont use rubber gloves, its makes it a mess
Friggin HUGE filter:
Very nice powdercoated filter bracket and air block off. I may try to build a full intake shield to block engine heat:
I added a little silicone around the nipples to avoid any vacuum leaks - also washed off the tube since it was gross:

I have a Samco Turbo intake waiting for an install on my EVO 8, it looks sturdy and the build quality is awsome. As for the perrin tube it looks way different from the samco. My buddy is going to install it on his EVO 8 as well.

The Perrin filter is large & that's what you want for flow, I wouldn't put looks before performance. Not too many see under my bonnet but the looks don't bother me at all.
Try CBRD to see if they have any comparisons between the Apexi & Perrin filters. I remember Chad also did a thread just on the Perrin filter without the intake/maf adapter, it gained 10whp off memory. Maybe they have changed out an Apexi....just a thought mate.

be sure to clean that filter with hot soapy (dishsoap) water to get the excess oil out! There should be enough that it leaves some on your finger when you touch it. They are way over-oiled when they come from Perrin.
Great pick up. They're great!
Happy New Year!

They are designed to be oiled with filter oil, which is designed to be thick and sticky. Regular cleaning and oiling should be done on a regular basis (depends on your driving conditions).

Hi Biggie,

I've seen the good things said about the Perrin filter, but I haven't seen any actual comparison between Perrin and Apexi.
