Infamous1 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Yeah, it seems though if the Perrin TMIC is there only product without issues. I had to get this thing going again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzymt Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Solid UP FTL. Ignored all the warnings and have fixed UP leaks twice and it's leaking again. Mine is Crucial, but I don't think it matters - solid = bad. I'm switching to MR headers w/integrated flex UP. I am staying with copper gaskets though - bought a new set to install the headers with - I think the UP is to blame, not the gaskets. Perhaps some people just have better luck. I'm not too terribly happy with my Apexcone (Xtec) 4500k HIDs either...they are bright but there is so much foreground fill I think my distance vision has actually decreased...kinda like driving with your fogs on all the time. Twisties will be great and there's plenty of that around here, but intestate driving probably took a hit. FM modulator hardwire (Metra antenna adapters) was a total bust - still sounded like crap, but that much should be obvious considering who's posting...

I would say without hesitation its the gaskets. Get OEM ones!!1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzymt Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I don't think so - tons of people w/OEM gaskets report the same problem. I have all copper gaskets and the only one that keeps leaking is the UP to manifold. I'm solving the problem by getting rid of the joint entirely. A two bolt flange is simply a poor design choice for that joint...it really needs to be a 3-bolt triangular pattern to prevent it from rocking and forming a leak under vibration/movement.

Deer Killer Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 techna-fit brake lines.. Sure pedal feel is a little bit better, but the retainer rings don't fit tightly (stock ones have pressure clips on them), and now it's caused one of the hard line clamps on the right side to become squeaky, which is proving difficult to remedy. Would have gone with a different brand if I had to do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueDevil Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Perrin full length CAI on my FXT. I liked the turbo and BPV sound, but I was always nervous that I was going to suck up water with the filter so low (behind the passenger side foglight). My FXT came with the STI STS and it was rubbish. It was very rubbery and I would always hit the notches between gears when shifting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm installing the headers as soon as I get my new turbo from TDC. And I think you misunderstood my comment - I said I loved the fill and contrast from the PIAA Crystal Ion fogs, not the HIDs.200 miles wit han invidia up with no flex and stock gaskets and no problems, <----knocks on woodIt took a few thousand miles for mine to leak both times...good luck.

al-gorithm Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 AEM 3" Dry Filter - Perrin 2.75" filter pulled higher g/s Fireball Ceramic Coat - had to do it twice before he got it right My Audio Install - should have used vampire taps instead of splicing into the stock harnes Custom CBE - Paid the same amount as a used one would but without the quality welds. Atleast I have the ability to swap the stock mufflers back on Partial bra - should have gotten the full bra Rota Tarmac II 17" Gold - i hate cleaning them so I am selling them (want to get 5zigen 5ZRs or lookalikes in 18") Kuhmo 712 - for the price up in Canada, could have gotten Goodyear Eagle F1 GS D3 EMT or BFGoodrich g-Force™ T/A® KDW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sysfailur Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Mmmph I just ordered a Perrin big MAF. I was reading good things about it until I saw this thread. Could this just be a pattern of complaints for people who didn't like it whereas plenty others DID like it? Gotta remember what thread you're in here heh... I don't mind the added noise of this filter, and if I'm not mistaken a Perrin BOV replacement is adjustable if the BOV is too loud after installation, I might get that. But I have music playing (loud) whenever I'm in the car--I doubt it will be as annoying to me as to others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
