Wanted some input on these two intake tubes from ppl who use them or have in the past. I'm replacing my Injen setup with a Nsei piping kit and am open to suggestions for an intake/filter replacement.

Also considering the HKS Suction reloaded setup, but seems pricey for all that is included.

 

I dunno about those intake tubes, those are the silicone ones right? I'd be afraid that they would collapse. I would get an intake thats a hard pipe. Why do you think every other intake on the market is a hard pipe and not silicone? The ETS intake is nice and very well priced.

 

silicone is better because it doesnt get as hot, keeps the intake charge cool. How exactly is it going to colapse?

 

I'd like to see a side-by-side pic of the two. I think that maybe the Perrin unit is shorter, or are they of equal length? Does anyone know for sure?

 

i have read previously they can be a pain to tune. Not sure if that is a big issue though.

 

That Perrin intake is one of the best intakes out there right now, do a search, there was a huge thread about it not so long ago. Its the intake I run, and I couldn't be happier with it, no issues when I got it tuned.

 

I was also looking at the ETS intake as well. I just don't like that angled air filter look that it and a buschur intake has. Lots of people seem to say the HKS is good, but price seems steep and paying for the name, not performance.

 

There are numerous posts about the HKS intake filters not filtering very well at all, do some home work into them.

The samco turbo intake pipe is highly regarded in Oz & recommended by numerous tuners here. There have been no tuning issues from my old tuners perspective & no threads complaining of collapses. There was talk of this happening to older style (Subaru) Perrin's intakes when using the oem stock box. It was due to the turbo sucking the air it needed through a small opening. This has been rectified by Perrin & they have had great success with their complete Evo intake.

Hope this helps mate.

Regards Steve

 

I will take pix of a comparison tomorrow.

awesome product from a proven company.

 

I did read of the HKS filters not "filtering" so well, but was talking more of the intake tube itself, not the filter element in this regard. Though information on the filters also is helping me decide which next to purchase.

Thanks for the input everyone! Anyone else?

 

Dont have pictures right now but I did a quick measure.

Perrin intake tube is 10.5" from end to end.

Stock intake tube is 11".

Keep in mind, Perrin intake system uses maf adapter and the air filter is HUGE!

 

I actually just got this intake today and i am shocked at the size of the filter. Cant wait to install!

 

Would you mind posting a pic or two when you get it installed? I'm in the market for a new intake also. Thanks

 

Yeah sure, i was considering doing a how-to on it anyway even though i think it is a pretty elementary install.
