I have the SRI and they make a great product, The only thing is the oiled filter sits so close to the plastic engine cover.

I have had it on two boxes for @ 28,000 miles and no problems, if you want low end make sure you get a 4-2-1 which ever header you choose.

Anyone else have anything good or bad to say about Perrin? I really like the way the SRI looks, but dont want to waste the money if theres a better option. Im looking for a little more power in the bottom end, since most of the driving is down in the city between red lights. Also is a ceramic header better than Stainless?

I have the exhaust from them and no problems for me. Its loud, but thats my taste. If you want the most from a SRI, the injen or fujita are the top bets.

I have the S.R.I., the Radiator/Heater hose kit, as well as the Lightend Crank Pulley. Never had a problem with any of the products and I have had them for many miles.

I have the SRI. It seems to be a really good product. I didn't notice any huge gains, but i think it's a little quicker...
It is louder though.

Their crank pulley is well constructed, made a noticeable difference and has been on my car for the past 85k miles with no problems. Well worth the $100!
