i have never had any issues with my sr phenolic, and my airram/65mm tb setup.
does require some work to get it right but for the 575 i paid for it, i was happy. i definately felt a difference in the upper end pull of the car.
but youll have more luck getting you stocker p&p than finding an airam for cheap.

 

my 2 cent's.>I Love my air ram and bbtb,I love the extra fittings for my vaccume lines, no hitting firewall under boost,It rubs my hood a lil,but other than that,I gotta fab a new strut bar. Although,I would not spend 500 on it for my NA tibby,just not wortjh it when socks can sell ya a whole turbo kit for nearly double that.

 

hate to say it guys...

but why are we kicking this dead horse?

 

I will give you an Airram for free if you buy the Silver RD2 it's attached to.

 

all i wanted to say is great discussion. Im glad to hear all your experiences and I will most defentely be going with a stockr PP IM with the spacer and PP TB as far as the pics for the guy that polished his all i have to say is WOW that is artwork my friend.

Could you describe or Put up A DIY Because that IM is beutiful.

Google keywords: "polishing cast aluminum" DIY is already out there somewhere

 

Rubbing the hood, that's another one I forgot.

WTF was mine hitting the firewall if everyone elses wasn't? Granted, most of you don't have the spacers, except for the one person with the SR spacer (NOT Phenolic, that SR one is the same material as the Hondata ones, and not as thick as the outlaw engineering ones).

My engine mounts aren't shot, but it probably wouldn't hit anymore with my engine damper now.

 

^^ Yep, I do have the rubbing the hood problem. However, I didn't have that problem until I switched from the stock hood to the VIS CF hood.
