Rrm Cai

Hey guys. Just installed the RRM CAI. Couldnt be happier with a mod. Looks great, Sounds great, and also performs great. Highly suggest you get yourselves one. I've heard alot of people mention they lost their low end power when they installed it but i think it actually boosted my low end. The install was fairly easy. Only hard part was the filter because i didnt feel like removing all the panels. Highly suggest removing anything thats in the way








Just so everybody knows, the KNN Filter # is RU-4950

I do notice alot more in the top end but the low end seems to feel like it has a bit more torque. especially low end of 2nd and third. First seems about the same.

hm.. thanks for the pictures CF-Ninja... now that i remember i don't have the stupid panels that protect the underside of my front bumper on that side of the car anymore... it got ripped off along with a bunch of other plastic in a car accident i had a while back.. Looks like i'm not getting the CAI after all...

my brother (Wiretap) says my car sounds like "An angry grizzly bear drinking a slurpie" Rofl. I hit mivec passing a guy in a v8 mustang and he really gave me a look. It sounds like a huge engine while its in mivec... even with the stock exaust

How is your CAI setup.... either yours or mines is backwards... I installed mines without the use of the black tubing and i got my sensor down by the filter, from the looks of it yours is almost complete opposite.... so who made the boo boo?
