Hey guys...
Im looking to sell my RRM SRI V2. Not 100% sure just as yet.
Ive had it on for about 3000kms and had no problems with it. it sounds great dont get me wrong but im just starting to get over the engine mods.
The SRI is in great condition, everytime the engine bay was detailed, the pipe was pollished with brasso to keep it looking top!!
Im thinking...$250 plus shipping? I dont know if thatts the right price for used SRI but i will include everything that came with it including the O-ring, instructions etc. It could probably use a new filter but when i spoke to RRM they said it should only have to be changed as much as the stock one would have to be changed...
I payed $450AUD for it i think when i first bought it. i still have the original receipts. If people are interested ill get pictures with my username in it and see how we go.

What would you pay for a used RRM SRI V2

Negating performance by sucking in hot air and then claiming you "do it for the sound" is rice.
It makes no sense to me at all. Why you would want worse performance so your car sounds "good" is beyond me. That is just my opinion on the subject.
If you had it setup as a CAI or not sucking in hot engine bay air I wouldn't consider it rice.

I see where you are coming from daveee but if people are interested in buying it thats their problem.
for the people that have PM'd me about it, ive been completley honest on how i feel about it.
I havnt noticed any negitive performance from adding the SRI. I actually noticed an increase during cold weather. and i know your probley gunna say thats a bullshit reason ect, but you can feel it in colder weather.

Taken from evolutionm, a posters response to RRM SRI vs Injen CAI. He seems like he knows what his talking about, and he points to benefits for someone with a CVT transmission. Although, if you have some technical knowledge dave, maybe you can point out some holes in his theory.
"While this is a question asked and answered ad nauseum, I've got nothing else to do at work here.. so
A SRI will give you a bit of a lower-end boost and more throttle response as the tubing is shorter, and since it draws warm air in, it's easier to combust. However, you suffer from warmer air which leans out the A/F mixture and you don't get a lot of performance otherwise from it. In fact, from what I've witnessed personally with my RRM SRI, after you've been sitting at a light for a bit in warm climate the engine has little pick-up from a stand still. The ECU doesn't react quick enough to the change. It doesn't pull much differently in the high-end either. I'm actually worried from time to time about how lean the engine runs when it's warm outside and I'm at a long freakin light.
A CAI (or fresh air intake as I've heard it called, which is fairly accurate description as it's only "colder" than the engine bay -- 30C ambient temperature is not cold
) doesn't give you that low end pick-up because the piping is longer and the air can't fill the vacuum produced by the engine quick enough. Once you get a good flow through it though at moving speed, it picks up in the mid-top end and is still feeding it air cooler than what you'd get from a SRI. Since we produce most of the power in that band, it's the logical choice unless one has a CVT which I hear has no guts whatsoever in the low end.
The HP difference between the two are minimal, but they act in different ranges on the powerband. In warmer climate, a CAI may produce better results than a SRI. Personally, I'm going CAI next Spring.
Haven't installed one, but I've seen loads of pictures and processes. It doesn't look like a PITA -- it looks like a labour of love. "
