I actually have a RNR turbo kit just sitting in the box, I mean the manifold is ****, but then again it isn't made by them, the Downpipe is Megan, and the Wastegate is RNR from what I am LED to believe, how do I check if it is real?

Man from someone who just reads a lot of threads on here I have heard SO MANY negative things about RNR its just ridiculous. Why bother running a business unless you do it right?

As for how the tip sticks out, it comes out at a very very very slight angle. But not enough of an angle to really be able to see the "carbon fiber" part of the canister. ..which annoyed me lol.. cz i thought it would come out to an angle like the real hks carbon-ti catback does.
I have the same exhaust. As for my dealings with RNR, here they are:

Pros:
Very nice exhaust,
top quality materials,
good workmanship,
no clearance issues with my MR
thru in an O2 housing for free (see below)

Cons,
box/packageing was very poor. The box didn't have a top (but everything was there)
The dp bolt holes (where the spring bolts pass thru) were slightly small. The bolt colars needed to be ground down a little.
They shipped it a week after they said (but thru in the O2 housing for free because of the confusion so I can't complain).

I had heard of RNR having some issues, but it came down to they had the product I wanted (full 3" tbe with HKS Carbon Ti can) and a good price so I took the risk. I'm very happy with exhaust.

YEa the product is good, ...when you get it lol.


But honestly, a paying customer should not have to go through ANY of the hassles that RnR puts you through. Everything from ordering to receiving the package should go in a smooth and timely manner.

alot of guys in this forum have complained about AMS,dynoflash etc. there is no perfect company/vendor.
if you have issues with RNR or any other vendor or shop,try calling them first and i am 100 percent sure, ryan will take care of you.

I have the 3" HKS Carbon-Ti catback and it is a really good exhaust. I got it about 3 wks later than expected. I think RNR's problem was they bit off more they can chew. It seemed they couldn't keep up with demand. If that was their problem, they should just be honest with their customers. Most people will wait for something if they really want it, so just tell the truth. Instead, they tell you its "going out today" and 2 wks later you're pissed and want to know WTF is going on!!

I ordered a GT30R turbo kit from them a couple months ago. It actually came surprisingly quick, like 3-4 weeks. But they happened to forget my fuel injectors, which ended up coming a month later. And there are a bunch of other threads with complaints from RNR. They really need to do some major improvements, especially in the customer service department.

Timzcat, is this forum so poor that it can't afford to lose them as a vendor?

I mean, how many times something like this have to happen before they are put out of business? Without this forum, their business is non-existant.

get it done.
