i want to order this for my 2002 cavalier 2200 just wondering if any one has this. if so is it hard to install? fit good? all that stuff. thanks for any help
i know of people who have it. not to difficult to install and it works great. they put a lot of work into their R&D and it comes out with their products.
I was a retard, and now I'm permanently banned.
I have the Short Ram RDFABS intake for my Eco...SOLID build quality- there is a big difference in having an intake made of stainless steel rather than aluminum.

what difference is there?
pipe is pipe dude.
aluminum disappates heat better however, hence most heast sinks are aluminum. steel retains heat longer. thats about the only difference really performance wise...
Yes but the aluminum will let in more heat than the steel, but the steel will retain more heat than the aluminum, so therefore ,in a run on sentence, they are the same. One just blings better and is a small bit heavier

WOW...ok...to set the record straight....Heres a pretty good way to look at with with a water injection example.
Aluminum:
Lower amount of energy required to raise 1 degree in temperature than steel, therefore heats up faster when the heat source is constant (ie: engine)
Steel:
Higher amount of energy required to raise 1 degree in temp. then alum., again this assumes the heat source is held constant.
This means that steel takes longer to heat up then an aluminum equivalent. This also means that for a 1 degree temp drop from an aluminum intake would add less heat to the air charge then a 1 deg drop from a steel intake.
This actually important when running a water injection application......the water is meant to reduce the temp of the air charge but you have the intake material heating it back up. So that means if your running a steel intake it would require a larger amount of water to be added to achieve the same amount of cooling of the intake charge since you have to sink more heat out of it to drop the temperature of the intake material.
The above is a decent start to looking at it but this excludes the different heat transfer coefficients of the intake material. Aluminum has a higher coef. of heat transfer so it will drop energy faster then the steel can so it will be more efficient at heating the air back up when the water injection is started. The water will deplete the energy in the aluminum intake material faster than that of steel. (Thats why they use aluminum instead of steel as heat-sinks in computers and other electronics)
Now back to the real world......the effects of this is marginal at best and unless some extreme temps are reached the heating difference between the two materials is close to nothing.

good info above me tho^^^
lol ur sig says it all Zzzzzzzz....lol
