Perrin or Samco Pre Turbo Pipes GC8 Model
Any feedback appreciated on the Perrin or Samco Pre-Turbo Silicon Pipes. Approx cost, quality, performance gains etc would be great. Do they fit straight up to the OEM airbox?
Thanks in advance for any help |
Hey mate, I'm using the Perrin Silicon intake pipe atm and the gains are definately worth the effort. The only drama is that it was a little long (remember that it was really designed for a bugeye and up) but I had to do was a little trimming at the turbo end.
It does fit with a standard airbox but you do return the factory flexi-bend elbow. Hope this helps, Darren |
Massive difference to throttle response. I recommend the Perrin (even tho its 01 onwards - it WILL fit the gc8) - it's a direct casting from the sti part ... and there seems to be some magic involved in the sti design.

used to have a perrin and the difference is definitely there (about $330ish new) but have since changed to samco BIG turbo inlet hose (at almost double the cost:( ) as it goes all the way to the existing airbox position (i have aps cai) which is even better for me as i was using the factory elbow with the ripple bits that restricts the air flow - very happy........... oh and very bling ;)

The genuine STi part made by Samco which is a homologated part for Group N GC8's is worth a genuine 15hp gain over the OEM inlet.

ANYTHING is better than that shitty OEM pipe............

I'm a big wrap for them, I have the Samco number.

I've got a Samco sitting on my bench, ready to go in.
I remember driving Beefy's custard spec MY00 Evo 4 WRX a couple of years ago (when he owned it), and it had the exact same mods as my car, but it had a Samco silicon intake pipe where as I had the stock plastic one....the difference in response and torque was amazing in comparison to my car, even with taller gear ratios! |
