the perrin is definately an easier install because of the way they relocated the nipples. if its not the only thing your installing or don't mind the extra work check out the avo

it gives you one smooth fat piece all the way to the airbox. where as the perrin and samco ones connect to the stock accordian junk and if you want to replace the accordian piece there is only the samco maf hose which is another $100 and doesn't fit quite right with the perrin piece.

Daniel- I'd go w/ the Perrin; much easier to install than the Samco Hoses. I can cut you a great deal on one, so just give me a PM when you decide you want the Perrin unit.

Hey Soren,

Is this true? The samco MAF hose doesn't connect right to the Perrin inlet hose?

Jimpreza- I haven't seen any problems connecting a Samco MAF hose to the Perrin Turbo Inlet hose, so I don't believe that's the case.

it fits on the perrin inlet side fine.. its way way oversized on the airbox side. I had to cut it a bit shorter to get it to fit snug, and then I had to pull it very tight and clamp the hell out've it which makes getting into my airbox to change the filter a big headache.
