RRM vs RPW

I found an RPW dealer nearby, in Alberta, and discovered they have (apparently) some good stuff. Anyone here dealt with them before? Why do I hear about RRM so much more, is it because of pricing difference, shipping issues? PS RPW sells 41 and 44mm headers, what's the RRM one sized at?

well 99.9% prefer rrm because is us/domestic made therefore... "low" cosa and "low" shipping...
rpw they indeed have good stuff but they are more expensive and in the shipping they will rape you....

I have no experience with RPW, but I am very impressed with their product line, and the people who have gone with their products swear by them. If you have a local RPW distributor, chances are it would be cheaper to go with them than pay shipping from RRM.

FWIW, I plan on using the RPW header, as they make a larger header and I plan on gasket matching my cylinder head ports. I also like how easy RPW makes it to find dyno sheets on their products. I purchased RRM's solid motor mounts, and their rear strut tower brace. RRM's shipping is fast, they stand behind their products and they are quite helpful - even to non customers. I trust RRM because they do a good job of keeping a good open line of communication with this community. I personally think that having the choice between two companies is great, and I would consider mix and matching depending on the part and what you are looking to do. You cannot go wrong with either.

To answer your question, and please someone correct me if I am wrong here, I am using migue's cylinder head project as the reference:
RRM's header is the stock~ 1 - 1/2. RPW offers a stock size~ and the enlarged 1-3/4 or 44mm as well.

They're both good companies who build great products. As stated, RRM is easier and cheaper to get in the US.
