That's what I did. Got some nice stainless steel nuts and bolts.

You just need to reoil it every time you clean it. Cleaning frequency really depends on the area you live and how dirty the air is, but I'd say every 20-30k is a pretty good estimate.

lol. Well, thats not too bad. With the way he explained the amount of oil on the filter I figured it would be much more frequently than that

Heck, I clean mine about every oil change and it gets pretty dirty. I let it go for 6k miles once and it was pretty nasty. I'm sure it could of held more dirt, but keeping it clean is easy as pie.

I've had a Perrin intake & filter for about 2 months, and while taking the MAF out to clean it today, discovered the flange on the Perrin heat shield, which the filter slips over, has started to separate from the heat shield, like the metal has cracked. I took pics which I'll try to post up later tonight.

Not impressed with the quality at this point...

Eric,

I bought one of those last year and the quality of the kit was very poor IMO. There were numerous fitment issues. Returned it and ended up running the perrin filter, vibrant adaptor and samco intake tube. Much happier with fitment.

That sucks. You shouldn't have to do it, but at least you can easily fix it with some waterproof and heat resistant sealant.

Talk to Perrin, I'm sure they'll take care of you and get you a replacement!

John - I thought about putting together a hybrid intake, but CBRD recommended that intake when I was having them put in a BBK turbo, so I went with it. I have other Perrin items that are pretty good, so I was surprised by this. BTW - thanks for the tip on the rear camber last year. Slaloms are much better this season!

GG06MR - I agree - I can fix it but for the price I paid I shouldn't have to.

Kracka - I sent Perrin an email and am waiting to hear back from them this week.
