Here is a quick critique of the HPS short ram I just finished installing on a 2014 S...
Quality of parts is very good. From the sturdy clamps, to a K&N brand filter. The red powder coat on the tube could be a little better, it's light in some areas but it's under the hood, so not critical. For that it looks pretty good.
No check engine light! This is huge and I'm happy about that. Some kits will throw a light this one, as of now, has not.
I now have the exhaust "pop" I did not have before this install . I think it has something to do with a leaner condition? I don't personally care for this but it has only happened at reving sitting still. Haven't noticed it while driving yet.
In a week or so, I will comment whether or not this had effected my mpg. My dash readout has dropped significantly BUT I did disconnect the battery so it's reset. I'm hoping at least unchanged , I'm not looking for improvement.
Install very simple and direct. Pieces fit as engineered . Worse part was removing all the duct behind the front bumper to the original box. All else pretty easy.
I'll post again after a week or so of driving...Honorable mention to Chris Denton who is an honest seller!! Part arrived 3 days after payment and all pieces were accounted for as if new. Thanks Chris!
