RPI vs. AFE Intake scoop

Eurotrash8 · 10-08-2008, 12:47 PM

There is a difference in price......just wondering if there is any difference in fit and finish and performance.

TIA

There aren't any significant differences really. The aFe ones are powdercoated black, has a different shape and perhaps fit a little bit cleaner. They are also installed in the middle as opposed to the side/corner like the RPI. We have the aFe ones available here if you're interested.

Can they fit with a GruppeM, since they have somewhat of a built in scoop?

RPI's are also available in black which is what I have on my car.

Does the AFE come with instructions to install them?

aFe does include installation instructions in the package.
