ROAD/RACE -Sneak Peak!
sorry for the WTF, but
we've been waiting for a long time. i thought that just your down pipe was 10hp, so more money for 1 or 2more HP? i'm trying to not rag on you guys, i'm happy with my stuff that i have gotten from you, but is this really more HP than just the downpipe that you have stopped selling?
sorry, i'm just trying to justify the money vs. HP here.

Your "peak" numbers increase by 2-4whp/wtq...
The real magic happens in your midrange where 5-8whp/tq has been seen from 2800-5800rpms.
This was a product that was begged for... everyone was twisting RRM's arm for it. It makes no sense for them to sell the Downpipe in 2 different flavors(04-05 have differences) when this product showed better gains and could come in one style fits all.
If you have the DP already and don't think this investment is worth the gain please don't buy it. The last thing RRM wants is an unsatisfied customer.
If you are trying to squeeze all the NA HP you can out of your car then you'll want to consider getting this product.
Lastly... as a cost benefit of HP/$$ everyone knows that going with the turbo setup is more cost effective. Nothing like getting the kit for 4G's, adding Alky for 500, and then upping the boost to get around 260whp on pump gas nice and safe. I've yet to see any NA combination come close for that dollar amount. Even with Nitrous.

i think the other thing we all should think about is much more of a diff. this will make if u also have the catback. now you're opened up the whole way down, with a lil ecu work and an intake its probably huge gains.
The benefit with ported intake Mani, Nitrous, the HEader and a Ported head will be incredible. Even more so if you have a Catback and a Low back pressure muffler.
Spray at least 75 on it, and you can kill all those 13 second making RSXs. Id watch for twelves with a 100 shot and RA-1s

No offense taken. Honestly, I am pissed off regarding this product because we prototyped it and had someone outside produce it for us. He called and told me he is out of business in 30 days. That means, the 15 I have may be it for a while. We invested a lot in this and you guys waited patiently but outside source is throwing a stick in my spokes. I NEED A VACATION!

^Very true,I know I appreciate it, and the header is gonna look badass under the hood regardless!!!. But whate BOE said "If you are trying to squeeze all the NA HP you can out of your car then you'll want to consider getting this product." For some HP and $ dont equal out. This is one of those time when u gotta think if the juice is worth the squeez. I think it is.
