A ricer is can be someone who buys a product without the knowledge of how it works or what is required for it to perform correctly. In this instance, I would have to call his purchase of the Air Ram a ricer move.
I'm trying to explain the concept of mods affecting mods, but he simply can't comprehend this. Or anything else I say for that matter. I'm not flaming, but seriously, how old is he? It's like he's 13 and just can not understand some things that I say. Or won't maybe?
Weird.

wow....reading those threads is like watching two girls go at it in high school because one girl said the other girl gave the entire football team head.
i think the guys over at xd overreacted a bit and it all just spun out of control from there. oh well. just don't deal with them anymore...
BTW, when i read the ford had a GK, i started laughing. **evil laugh** wink.gif
oh yeah...one question though...will the airram provide HP gains? maybe i was reading david's post wrong, but to me it seemed like he said it wouldn't help much. then again, i'm a college student a week before finals and my brain no longer accepts new information...hehe wink.gif

If you have the mods to require it, then it can produce tremendous gains.
That's what I've been trying to teach this guy but it's pointless.

The Beta is where there are issues. There are a few guys in this forum with basic mods and the Airram and they say, on the Beta 1, that it definately shows improvment.
Throttle Response, power, especially in the higher end.
With the Airram you need at least a BBTB. I'd also have a full exhaust and a CAI. I'd get it even if I didn't have that stuff, have it sit on the side till it's time.
Again, Jon, remind those idiots that in the GB it does say it needs modified. Also, those claims on HP are the MFR's, not ours, it's a translation. David even told them that. There was no false advertising.

The only thing I want to know is "Who in the Hyundai Forum world doesn't know Redzman!?!".
I know Redzman didn't post it over there to fatten his wallets, he is not that way. Redzman has alot of respect for all Hyundais and tries to help out others as much as possible. With group buys he ensures they are posted on all boards. I am often narrow minded and only post on this board. When Redz see's that, he brings it to the other boards. Thanks for trying Redzman.
'Nuff Said....

I think this is funny.. A quote from the flame thread from some guy... "I have not installed this myself but from the several long conversations with a friend (fordfasterr), yes it will work with a fair amount of modifcation but it will give you NO performance gains. untill i see some dyno sheets with ALL mods done before and after with this intake i will not believe that this product works on the beta 2"... LoL.. more a/f doesnt deliver more power.. Ugh, so why do they even have a site?

come on fellas. Ford is a really smart guy, definitely not a ricer, but has his bad days! and he tried this ram-air intake on his car with and w/out a BBTB and it showed a little gain at the top end and little loss at the bottom end which made it equal. there is also a bunch of people that are really educated and have a lot of knowledge about our cars.
