I had a hard time visualizing this kit on rmr's web site b/c they had no pictures on if in the car - BUT - Now that I have it - I was amazed how good it is - its a very well made and well fitting kit - have not driven it yet so no idea how much power if any it gains - BUT it does look nice

Nice. I am still trying to decide which pipe setup I am going to get, and the Buschur one seems to be on permanent "Coming soon" status.

 

Did it require the relocation or resizing of the battery for clearance? I know that Buschur's does.

I saw your trunk mount in your other post and just wondered it it was mandatory with the installation of the intercooler pipes.

 

NO - I think thsi would fit perfect with the stock battery - thats why it curves out to the head - - - I put the battery in the trunk a long time ago to help better balance the car and to make free up the engine comp

 

Just curious - did you remove the under-body splash for the pics only? I wondered whether the shields still fit with the new pipe.

Looks good though, how difficult was the install?

Its pretty easy - but I have had the bumper off like 5 times already so I have practice at it

I leave the under shields off as it makes it easier to strap it to the dyno - - BUT the pipe kit would fit fine with the stock under shields

 

looks nice... i may have to look into those...

but i'm not exactly sure what upgrading the IC piping does for you... and how much $$$ did that entail...?

 

It helped me in a few ways

1 - it makes the boost response more crisp and accurate - - the rubber hoses buldge out slightly as you come on boost and then contract - it makes your boost fluxtuate - with this pipe set that feeling is gone

2 - The factory pipe going past the air meter was not working very well with the samco hose I was usuing and the RMR air fikter this pipe kit resolves that issue as all 3 pieces are designed to wrok together

3 - I may want to mount a NOS fogger - - I need a metal tube to mount that in

4- Its a straighter line for the air - less bends - - it makes more power - also becuase its bigger

I like it

 

nice, maybe im blind but wheres the blow off valve and stuff.. oh nevermind its on an evo? cool though

 

800 bux for these hard pipe kits is such a rip-off. And to think, RalliArt charges about 1300 for theirs. I really like the HKS one but even with my wholesale discount it's still outrageous. I guess that's the price you have to pay for these things.

I hope Road Race makes parts for the evo soon. I remember it cost less than $250 to convert all my piping to the road race hard piping and it was about the same amount of piping as the evo.

 

i just ordered this pipe kit. does anything else besides the bumper need to be removed or does anything need to be disconnected to give more work room?

 

Al, I've had that piping for a long time. It's great - no pop-off under boost, no swelling hoses, etc. It's the only thing I am going to keep as I switch back to super stock...

 

Looks really nice, good clearance for things too.

 

What kind of modifications Do I need to do to install RMR interc. piping kit? It is a bolt on kit? Because once one guy told me that he had to weld some parts to install a Ralliart piping kit...

Can I intall RMR interc piping kit together with my stock air box?
