soo..i jus noticed the metal ring at the top of my filter fell off..i dont know where it is..either somewhere in the engine bay down by the steering rack or fell out while on the road...should i hit up RRM n have em send me a new one?

 

how long have you had it?

 

maybe 10k

 

i would. they are usually pretty good about their parts. Just take a pic of the intake installed to show it was put in correctly and send an email to them telling em what has happened. i bet they replace it. May just charge you for shipping.

 

word thx

 

Mine fell off too. I found it in the front suspension area when I jacked up my car.

 

did u have rrm send u another one?? i dont know why its even inmportant...the filter structuraly is no different, u can jus see the glue..it doesnt matter to me really

 

I had mine from about 3k to 18k, and the filter was falling apart and filthy! I just cut the rubber attachment part off the filter from RRM; using it as a spacer, and bought a new K&N cone filter with a 3 inch diameter on the attachment part. ( The diameter of the K&N cone filter was a little to big without attaching the RRM rubber piece) Slide the K&N filter right over the old rubber piece from the old RRM filter and used the K&N ring clamp to tighten everything done to the metal intake. Works like a charm! The K&N filter I got is actually a little bigger length wise, but same diameter as the RRM. If you have any other questions, PM me.

 

Just get a K&N filter to replace. Better quality IMO.

 

Nah, I didn't bother. If I get another one, it'll just fall off again. It still works fine. I'll prob switch over to the Injen CAI once they make one for the 2.4l or I'll switch over to the K&N sri once I see some solid numbers.

 

RRM v1 intake correct? i have that one mine fell off too also when i was driving..i have no idea where it went..along with the filter being dirty and ive only had it on maybe 9k miles

im gonna get the injen CAi also. gj RRM

 

nah i got v2...but ill probly sell n get a works drop in. i did a lil ghetto mod that i think will work better with stock airbox

 

Mine fell off just over a month ago... i found it near my battery.. i called up RRM and they sent me a replacement...

whats ***** is i had to pay shipping... for a warranty product :S

 

how much was it like 5 bucks

 

K&N is definetly better constructed. You can tell when you get the RRM filter next to a K&N. The cotton gauze RRM uses is crap compared to K&N. That is why K&N has such a great warranty; they rarely have issues from consumers like us! The funny thing is they are priced the same! Better product at the same price = LOGIC to me!
