any experience with RRE?

[tips000]

Has anyone ever ordered anything from them?

I am interested in the intake pipe,

and possibly the tb elbow.

Are their parts good quality?
the dejon pipe is alot more money and they seem like the same thing.

Will both of these fit my 2ga talon with a 16g?

thanks

Definetly a better buy. Just make sure you replace the crappy filter with a c.a.r.b legal K&N filter when it comes time to smog the car; that way you can tell the guys at the smog shop that its a complete c.a.r.b legal intake . Or slap on the stock one .

Well then if they don't care about smog laws as much as the "wonderfull" state of california then no problem .

I have been getting parts from RRE since 2000 and they are one of the most knowledgable and helpful shops out there. High quality items. Their kits are very complete. I have ordered from other places and I have always had to add stuff to their "complete" kits. RRE will get you what you need.

They are not always the cheapest. but they are really cool and have a great depth of knowledge with DSMs.

The filter is fine. I would just replace those garbage rubber couplers. I have a ebay intake but use extremepsi couplers because the ones it came with leaked.

Consider yourself lucky. I've yet to find an 1G eBay intake.

I've got the rre upper and lower pipes. They are nice and fit well. No complaints here.

I think they're a good knowledgable shop but I don't like their ordering process.

RRE is pretty much my exclusive parts shop. Unless, I can find a part cheaper else where. Taking into account shipping and handling. I don't know much about ordering from them because I usually drive the 35 minutes to their shop to pick up or have a part installed. RRE parts are basically functional pieces, that get the job done. If you want more bling, or just want to say your running XYZ name brand, then you obviously have other options. The guys at RRE are very knowledgeable and helpful. Trust me I should know, I have more questions than a 3 year old. I'm just glad they haven't banned me from the shop.

Lol at this thread. RRE has been a goto shop for DSM performance longer than any of you have even known what a DSM is.

You can trust pretty much anything RRE has to say.

Anything with an Ebay link that isnt a proven product, I just say no to every time.

Mike at RRE was probably one of the first hardcore guys to really start modding a 4g63 engine. I've personally met him at MOD last year and hes a great guy. His shop is top notch, never had a problem with their ordering process.

But just a FYI to the OP, their 'intake' system requires that you cut into your stock intake and replace the accordion piece with the hard pipe.

Road race is where it a lot of the dsm racing began long ago.

Well thats ignorent. A pipe is a pipe. Mine performs and looks exactly like a extrempsi or injen, but i paid $30. I wouldnt mess with anything of mechanical importance (cams, turbo,bov, internals...ect). But stuff like i.c piping and intakes....ill take ebay brand any day.

haha, well when I was 13, RRE was hard at it.

The thread's topic is hinging on being a vendor feedback thread, which generally is not accepted well in the tech forums. You can read more about RRE here, although there is only one review but plenty of ratings from other members.

The topic then changed to what intake is best for your car- a topic which has been discussed many, many times on this site. A simple search would turn up plenty of info on intakes.

The thread then changed topics again to how long RRE has been in business. The answer to that is "longer than most vendors".

Sorry, but this one's headed to the Graveyard.
