    I need some advice.. me and my crew are gonna be going to the track in about 2 months or so.. currently I have the RRM SRI,pulley and a custom cat back..

    I want to add the RRM piggy, header, and a high flow cat.. should that show some decent gains as far a quarter mile time.. will I also be able to "feel" and notice the gains these mods should produce?

    the RRM site said 8 to HP and torque on the dyno...i assume that is to the wheels.

    With the piggy and header, yes you will notice a difference in a faster time and be able feel it. With the high flow cat, no. Its a waste of money and can actually cause you to lose hp. If you open up the exhaust too much you will lose the backpressure thats needed. RRM played around with different setups with numerous high-flow cats and couldn't get anything that was worth it. Call and talk to Brian or Rob and they can go in much more detail about it.

    i'd like to see some cam upgrades for the cars. Then it would be worth staying N/A because i should be able to get the sort of performance im after. Obviousley just a mild cam upgrade though because it still needs to be a daily driver. If i could get upto 200hp at the fly i'd be happy enough.. it would then be on par with the civic type R power wise.

    I sent an email to RRM about internals and they told me that after they get the turbo situated then they MAY look into internals. Just have to make sure the market is there

    the best way to do that is just have a lot of people send emails to RRM about it :p, then they'd know lots of customers are interested =)

    Hi Flow Cat.....HMMMMMMMMMMMM!

    Well I have a hi flow cat that came with my SES by Injen and with both pieces from Injen(C.A.I & SES), Im sitting 138.6WHP.

    I know ur a true RRM fan thru and thru and I mean no disrespect, but there is other product out there that surpasses RRM. No offence just another opinion and option.

    Any company can set whatever price they feel there product is worth. Either put up the money or go another route. And if you pay for a $3,000 turbokit and only get 30hp out of it then IMO you paid to much....
