Need some help, I can't decide.
 
Should I buy a rrm pulley and cai or buy a rrm header? Thanx!

pulley and CAI, headers wont do anything for u and you will notice improvement with the pulley and CAI

ambystom01 Oct 16, 2006 03:41 PM

A header will do plenty, it's really 6 of one and 1/2 dozen of another.

Buy the header since RRM has it on sale right now.

I'd buy a A2 designs pulley cause it comes with a belt. I'd hold back on the CAI and just get a adapter on Ebay, cause it works just as well, and fab a SRI. I'd not buy the RRM header, but rather buy OBX or Kamakazi or anyother brand. The gains are ok on the RRM, I have them, but not worth the price.

pick up the header on sale and get the other 2 next month

header, then get A2's pulley later, and forget the CAI, just get an adapter and filter and make a SRI

I was leaning more toward the header because its on sale for 299 this month. I can get the rest next month. I have a manual tranny crypto, so i'm gunna get the cai sooner or later. Thanks guys!! I'm gunna order it today or tommorrow. Later!

Header on sale this month and so is the CAI. The CAI is normally RED and extra for ceramic coated, but now its ceramic coated at the same price of the red.

even if you have manual, still doesn't make much of a difference. Its over $100 cheaper to just go custom SRI, personally i wouldn't spend the money on a CAI for a very minor gain...if any.

but its your money. lol

jakermeister Oct 17, 2006 11:48 AM

the reason why i'm gunna get a cai is cuz i'm gunna tune it after. There's a dyno near by and i want to get as much power as i can.

crypto Oct 17, 2006 11:59 AM

but the power difference between SRI and CAI is very very small. if at all. Im just suggesting you save your money. SRI just as good but cheaper, plus gives you better throttle response.

jakermeister Oct 17, 2006 12:01 PM

thanx

ambystom01 Oct 17, 2006 06:55 PM

Tuning when you only have an intake is a real waste of time and money.

You should buy everything and fall into the money pit that Lancers are.
