That sounds like 150 dollars over priced even from a dealer. Not worth it even if it's 500, I got the RMR exhaust and really wish I had saved and gotten RRM. Same thing diff prices

 

650 for the RMR exhaust? Lordy that's expensive. Could almost buy two Buschur catbacks for that price. If (and hopefully soon), I'll be rockin' the Buschur intake as well. Smooth looks and dyno proven. Oh yeah.

 

instead of paying 650 for exhaust from RMR, id rather purchase hella lotta crap from ROAD//RACE

 

YEP!

 

Does the RRM hood air scoop make any difference for the RRM intake? What about the heat sheild... i bought the intake before they had the heat shield... should i get one and a hood air scoop?

 

hmm..seems like this has been covered much.
Of course the hood scoop will have an effect. Seems to me that the positioning of it is the key part, you can place it directly in front of the intake, forcing the atmospheric air (colder) into the intake and also cooling the bay, or you can put it in front of the engine to blow the air onto the valve covers and cool the engine.

 

so u think the heat shield would help keep the cool air from blowing straight past the intake?

 

no, the depth of the scoop will negate anything else because it only is 1" deep. If you position it right, (look at pics of mine in the registry) it should be 1" from the entrance to the intake, and the intake should effectively vaccuum all the air that is let into the engine bay. Heat shield will have no effect regarding the air that is let in. If you position it somewhere else the effect is reduced but you will still be cooling down the combustion chamber which is always helpful.

 

Here is intake all stickered up!

that looks sweet, does it say RRM on the heatshield by default?

 

It looks like a sticker

 

yeah, kinda of looks like it now also for the fact that he said stickered up.

 

that looks nice . . . my engine bay looks almost the same, except mine also has the red hoses.

 

i just purchased the rrm intake...having trouble putting it in...the upper bolt on driver side very easy...however the two bottom bolts are hard to get off cause its all the way in there can't fit wrench in...dunno how im gonna do this... anyone got any pointers on how to get the box off...dunno jack bout engines and never touched one in my life...starting to learn, with this intake, doesn't seem to be goin well...might have to pay extra to put it in...damn it sucks not to know how to tune engines...especially if your a car fanatic...

 

search for rrm AND intake AND install there has to be 20 threads about it. I wish I could give ya a pointer but my ish got sold with it on, and they refused to let me in the garage to watch them put it on.
