Thanks for being honest.
As Hubie said, there is too much DRAMA here. How many more new Vendors to be pounded? I see a trend.

i was kinda bummed that my post turned into this thread.....the kind of stuff that will ultimately kill off nam if the bs continues to overshaddow the information!!


X2! the internet seems to bring out the child in most grown ups from what ive seen on here with all the name calling, and overly sensitive people.

i notice i'm on here less and less because of this. I do however laugh at how pathetic some peoples comments and complaints are though.

interesting. the one I bought from you gave me a code from day one despite being reworked so it fit right and didn't ruin the O2 (again), two tunes.... always a rich code if driven for more than an hour.

This cracks me up, look how this thread started. A RMW spokesman wants to stir up crap so he bangs away on his keyboard. Look how the RMW code thread started, a customer having problems with a part. Most of the posts in this thread are from from people that don't even have this part. Same old story on NAM.

I honestly don't have anything else to add to this thread. I feel that my posts may have gone beyond what I originally intended, but I honestly am one of the more "middle grounded" members on this board. But only those that have met me would know that.

I'm stepping out now.

Gotta love this thread. RMW fanboi's posting, throwing rocks & grasping at any straw they can get their hands on to legitimize RMW. RSR's sure repping Jan's greatness on the track. How'd they do on the track this weekend? //MZero, I don't think there's anything "middle grounded" about your postings. Just callin' an ace a spade.

Grasping at what Frack?? RSR had some problems this weekend. They had two cars with axles issues and one with a clutch problem. How is this an RMW issue? I for one have huge respect for the RSR boys for taking Mini's to the big show.

RMW has sold over 120 street header's and 12 are known to of thrown codes. Of those 12 RMW is working to fix the problem.

The only reason this tread exists is the fact that the AZ boys and Mynes used this as a selling point for Mynes new header. Sorry man but Mynes even used this as a selling point on their web site.

I personally find it hilarious that now after 10 or so headers sold they have a customer who's had the same problem .

D-Man, we are happy to report that our High-Flow CAT does not throw CELs. I've been running on mine for over a month and still CEL-free


Mynes got a lot of mileage out of RMW issues, turn about is fair-play.

You know that old saying "not seeing the forest for the trees"? How many threads has Mynes created about RMW & using it as a platform for product slamming? Uhhhhh....none. Try showing some professional class in how you treat other vendors. Brian, you're funny.

A question was asked and was answered .

Mynes didn't create the 3 month old , 293 post , 8,030 view and counting thread RMW shorty code thread, the RMW customers did! According to what you read it was first a " bung " issue , then it was someone else's fault , Magnaflow's . If thats the case I have no idea why a company of Magnaflow's size would not stand behind their product and leave anyone holding the bag. They do have a Lifetime Warranty after all. The person who posted the info about the one time code problem is even surprised at how it was used . For some odd reason I am not surprised at all . And as for mileage being made , that's just beginning.

Why do you feel the need to start a thread with someone else post? Anything to kick someone or something that doesn't have to do with JAN? Why so much hate for people who are happy with the product they put on THEIR car?

I am the one that checked / pulled / cleared the P0420 code from Oxtox's car when I got to the Dragon. I have an RMW header and have had a few codes in the past. I cleared them all up after I replaced my crappy O2's, Eric at Helix double checked my gaskets and welded in J-Bung. This is really no big deal and it goes with Modding any car for teh most part. Since I roomed with Oxtox I can tell you the new Mynes "CEL" header is loud as hell as works as an excellent alarm clock. Everyday when her came back from his 6:00 am dragon run he woke me up pulling up the street and into the driveway.
We both did not have any codes all week. The RMW and Mynes headers worked great and we ran the dragon many many times. Also anyone within a few miles (in the hills) knew the nuts from Philly running the dragon when we where "in it" and WOT. Lots of thumbs up when we went by the pull offs.

P.S.
I also cleared the same code again at a rest stop on the way back to Philly from MOTD for Oxtox. In all honesty he only gets the code running w/cruse control. (once going down on 81 S and once going back on 81 north)

If you dont want any codes go buy a Kia, and have fun modding it to keep up with me.

I'm sure neither header would throw codes if the stock cat was reused.

I'm amazed at how "amazed" people are about this whole issue, especially with the very strict OBD-II monitoring that's in place these days.
