I've had it for almost 30K miles. No problem to car. Did have to get them to replace the first version because it broke, but the new version has stood up well.

I'd suggest the drop in K&N would be better value for money. I don't think there are any dyno proven gains with the RRM. It will sound louder, but you'll be sucking in hot engine bay air which is bad for power.

thank you, iam thinking k&n for now at least. Your right are hoods are sealed and it gets very hot under there.

I got mine from them. Only thing I'd recommend doing is swapping their crappy filter with a specter or k&n one. Even though its sealed, and I took off the heat shield for my headers, my engine is getting much better gas mileage, like 3 more mpg and a much nicer note. Was it worth the 300 with shipping that's very subjective, if you like the more aggressive sounds for little mpg and almost nothing in hp gain then be like me and go for it haha.

As far as performance I can't say it has really improved mpg or hp. If it does the difference is so slight you can't really see it or feel it.

Now on the other hand it will sound meaner especially with the cat back. And the RRM version is pretty nice looking.

One other thing. RRM did not take precise measurements when engineering. The angles and support bar are just a bit off, so I noticed if you just pop it in as is, the whole thing would bounce enough to bang the filter into the CVT housing just below it.

I had to slightly modify with my own rubber fitting at the intake manifold and added a bracket to the point where it mounts to the engine just to give the filter about an inch more of clearance from the CVT housing.

Price is definitely high. So if that is an issue go with the other you can find.
