I know a couple people who work for RRM post on here, so I thought I'd ask on the forum to get an answer that might possibly help others in the future.

Is the ported intake manifold also "polished" as well? If so, is the entire manifold polished, or just the inlets? Thanks.

the intake mani is ground out at the inlets and outlets (as shown on their website) and smoothed to a nice finish, it is not shiny polished but it is not left rough either.

 

It's a pretty good mod, I just added it alittle while ago and I love it, You can feel it hit right around 3600 RPM. My fourth gear is alot better now and 5th showed alittle gains but not to much.

 

firechicken,

would you say the intake manifold is a worthy mod then? is it even noticable in normal driving? i plan on doing IM, TB, and pibbyback to finish up my performance mods. how was the install for it?

 

Ya it's a worthy mod alright. You deffinetly feel it during daily driving. I drive pretty hard though daily. HAHA. The next thing I'm getting the is the TB also.
I would recommend the IM though. 1-3 gears are increased alot.
You better have a CAI though atleast.
The install took about 4 hours for me and my brother in law. That's with some beer breaks too.
Get it man it's worth it.
Or if you want you can go to a machine shop and have the same thing done for cheaper.

 

ok, how about this:

i am totally new to this mechanical stuff, never changed a spark plug before until i got my lancer. i've installed my headers, sri, catback, and sway bar all by myself, so is this something i can do?

 

I dunno is it something you can do?

 

if you go to kregan and get a 11 gal compressor, a set of half inch air tools (impact gun and ratchet), and a decent jack with jack stands, which will run you somewhere around 200 bucks or less, you can do almost anything yourself

 

yeah, the throttle body would be fairly simple. Just make sure to keep track of the fasteners and where they go.

 

uh yeah, i just asked you that chief, and considering you are the one who installed it and not i, you would know.

 

I was asking you if you were capabale of installing it.
If so then go for it, It's just a long process and some of the bolts are a *****.
Make sure you remember or write down were all the tubes and rubber hoses go.

 

Manifold is ported and polished as far as the longest tools can reach. It is pretty good mod of sure. We send you the ported manifold first then you send us yours. Install will take a few hours but is pretty straight forward to do. Hope that helps.
