Road/Race Time
I'm booked for next Friday at RRM. I'll be putting the cat-back exhaust and lightweight pulley on my car for sure, and it's more than likely that I'll do the piggy and intake, as well. I'm driving down to SoCal from the SF Bay, so I'll have plenty of miles on the car by the time I get home and will post up a review. Good stuff!
Will be very interested in the latter two, which I am considering. I am in SF area currently, but car is in NC, so driving down there is not an option.
I have been trying to get info on installing the piggyback, as hiding/removing it MAY be necessary at times to preserve warranty. If you could post the installation instructions on here when you get back, it would be greatly appreciated.

Just got back from Road Race...and initial impression are that I made the right call. I went with the piggy, pulley, intake and cat-back exhaust. I'll post something better within the next week, but I-5 was a little more fun on the way home 
the car really likes the higher rpms/speeds!
the car really likes the higher rpms/speeds!I-5 obviously is not a good testing route (but you sure would have made a CHP's day if you had zoomed past one sitting up on a down ramp), but find a nice road with some straights and give it a shakeout there (or a dragstrip - 1/4 times would be a good indicator of the improvements.
Did they talk any specific numbers for the mods (torque - horsepower)? Also, is the piggy well hidden (so it might not standout at a dealer service garage)?
It IS a little disappointing that all this is needed to get the engine into the HP range that should have been stock. You can get a 4 banger Nissan Sentry with 200 HP.

No specific numbers given...Rob had left and the guy working on my car didn't remember specific numbers off the top of his head. They DO have a dyno sheet for a car with the intake and piggy, so the numbers ARE available.
As for visibility my piggy is very obviously there. I was told that they have sold several to Suzuki dealers, including two on Thursday, and that they were loving them. So I wasn't hellbent on hiding it. It can be mounted almost anywhere you'd like to keep it incognito, though. I'll take a picture of my engine bay and post it up today.

looking forward to seeing the pics

They have since, for the most part, quit posting all together and haven't responded to anyone about a refund for a product that doesn't work at all how it was, or is still, being marketed. 2.0T NSPP users were showing 15:1 a/f ratios, getting random CEL's pop up, having no start issues, etc. Some V6 owners actually LOST power from the NSPP and even after getting "the fix" of tuning software from Rock weren't able to make more than 1-2hp over stock.

I appreciate the heads-up. But I've had nothing but good experiences with RRM. And while I can't speak for their Hyundai mods, I'm really pleased with what I've done to my Kizashi. So I can say with a fair amount of certainty that I think people will be pleased with any parts they might add to theirs. Most importantly, I've found RRM's customer service to be great. Obviously, mistakes are always possible but I think that folks can certainly deal with RRM with confidence.Just a FYI from a fellow car performance enthusiast. Be careful of RRM products!
