RRM Short Ram Intake discussion thread
am i just out of the loop but am i the only one who hasn't heard of RRM til now?
and 10hp from a shortie seems like a lot. i'd have to see a dyno, but if it really does then thats frickin awesome.

RRM is the name in Lancer parts. You might find a few parts here and there with other vendors, but RRM is the spot for "one stop shopping."
Definitely. They were the first to come out with parts when I got my '02 and I was totally pleased with everything I bought. I'm expecting nothing but the best when I start buying for my '08 and I know RRM won't disappoint!
A few people have said this but no one seems to be in a rush to show what the intake can actually do. Everything so far is a post relating to the phrase "I can totally feel it".
Well you have to think RRM is 4 guys working there @SS's off. It's not A large manufacturing company they are doing R+D on the Piggy back ECU then they will most likely post Dyno mods with the Intake, exhaust, and ECU. This is the format they have done on the past two models. If you don't trust RRM's word then do a search on this forum and look at all of the happy customers that already own there products from guys that own the 02's to the 08's now. These aren't the new guys they have been around the block and at full speed I might add. If you have any serious questions then call RRM up and I am sure they would be more then happy to answer your questions. And if you do you will realize that they know what they are talking about.

As the guy said, we're just left with people like you going "hell yeah, you can feel it" - which means nothing in the real world. I've spent 4 years on EvoM hearing people say that about everything from CAIs to ground kits to CF reflectors.
We are doing everything we can as fast as we can. As for dyno, I hope if we get 8 h.p. we do not get crucified! We will work on a dyno but I am not doing 5 dynoes for 5 items. Just no time to do that and it is not needed. Testimonials will have to do for now. Don't go look at AEMs dyno for OZ intake. You will be bummed out if you saw it.

It wouldn't hurt for them OR YOU to post something as simple as "stopwatch time before and after intake install." There are claims of 1 second, but no one even posts their numbers from informal trials, ya know?

I may sound like a total jackass with some of the things I say, but Im sorry, in the business world you dont make claims and not have proof to back it up. I have been paying close attention to every single thing RRM and Works say on here about their products. Personally I would love to put some kick into my Lancer while I have it, but I stopped randomly buying parts and saying "my car is fast now" a few years ago.
Whichever group provides the parts and evidence to back it up will get some of the money in my bank account

until someone gets a dyno we really won't know how much hp is really added. if you say it sounds sweet, which i'm sure it does along with the rest of intakes. but if you say you can 'feel the power' thats not very convincing.
why 10hp? how did you come up with that? i wouldn't buy something knowing that it could add 10hp or 2hp, but thats just me

To Rob/RRM - please note that none of us are trying to disrespect you or your parts in any way. It's just hard to spend money when no information is offered. You're not expected to dyno every part. But even if you could roll around with a stopwatch and post those numbers, it would give us SOMETHING to work with. Some customers just don't feel safe buying parts based on "yeah, you'll like it."
You should take the lancer to a quarter mile track with before and after times. 1 second on 0-60 should translate into noticable difference in the quarter. Then people will shut up about dyno sheets.
