Does that mean a CAI can never fit or just this one doesn't fit? Is soon on the SRI weeks or months or ?

Would putting the exhaust on before an intake be beneficial? It seems the exhaust is pretty good as is and might need the extra intake flow to really be useful and not detrimental to performance.

CAI prolly does not fit but we have not had an auto at the shop. Exhaust isgoing to be helpful even without other mods. We have 3 in stock right now.

All you need is Axelback. No hard data on it but seems to improve power especially when MIVEC kicks in.

I'm curious, do you guys have any numbers yet on your car? It's hard for me atleast to shell out money on something if I don't know what the improvement is...know what I mean..

If you can get numbers for the whole car overall with all the mods or individual parts gains it would help me anyway and I'm sure others also. Thanks by the way for making all the stuff for our car!

That's where I am as well. I can't get excited over a competitors package of intake/exhaust that makes 8whp and 4 wtq. Maybe I don't know enough but that just doesn't seem enough gain for about $600 investment. I'd expect mid teens for both and numbers like 8/4 for one or the other alone.

The air intake has been said to pickup like 10 at the wheels, that is stated on RR website.

The other mods they sell it would be best to use common deduction and comparison to see hoe these bolt ons "do" on other cars.

An exhaust on a NA in catback form has been known to increase at least 5-12whp on average.

Their computer control system is say similar to a VAFC, which averages anywhere from a 7-20hp increase at the wheels on most Honda engines. Although don't get me wrong here, I personally feel that the Road Race computer upgrade is similar to a VAFC, although since it is actually ownly built for the Ralliart I would expect gains to be more, and won't have the tuning overhaul of a AFC similar device. Simply plug and go.


I can't wait for a better CAM to be created for the RA, that should be an easy 20 whp.

One of our customers call us the other day. He was excited because he ran 14.9 - 1/4 mile time with just our intake and Axelback exhaust on his RA.

NOt bad!

The more I drive my car the more I'm genuinely pleased with it. I am happy with the performance level I have stock however if I could make a few mods that would significantly increase it on demand while not degrading my fuel economy under light loads I'd be all over it. Unfortunately, the automatic transmission puts a damper on some ideas. I hope that given a little more time, with the emphasis on little, there will be a full complement of mods for a/t cars as well.
