A vote for the RB duct to stock box (w/ K&N flat filter). Heck, we frugal types need representation too!

I ran a rb for awhile, now I am going to an aem because I plan on turboing the car. The aem can't still be used. So if you plan on going turbo defintely go Aem. If not I really liked the rb especially paired with the rb exhaust. Sound is deep and rich

I was under the impression that the rb intake would not work w/ the greddy and esmeril turbo kits, that only the MS/Aem kits were compatible w/ most turbo setups. If that is not the case then I apologize for my ignorance of the situation, that is just what I had been told previously. I have never done any in depth study of the fact

Racing Beat vs AEM?

Racing Beat = not C.A.R.B. certified.
AEM = C.A.R.B. certified.

C.A.R.B. vs non-C.A.R.B.

You decide.

I've heard this too... i guess I just assumed it was to free up space for intercooler piping, and to run the boosted air through the throttle body. . . I don't know enough about it to speak really, but its something along those lines.

laugh now but early reports show that CARB's regulations will become federal regulations. Obama sure likes his country to have clean air...


think ahead or face the consequences.
