Where to buy RActive intake?
 
I'm looking at different intake options for my Pro5 2.0L. I have decided to go with the short ram style for ease of installation, looks, and ease of filter cleaning.

I already have a source (www.protege5online.com) for an AEM short ram - I see that the Ractives may be quite a bit cheaper, though ($200 US for the AEM).

Anyone bought the Ractive for a 2.0L? Where'd you get it and how much did you pay?

What size tubing is used on the Ractive - anyone know if it is larger, smaller, or the same as the AEM? (smaller seems to be better when it comes to our intakes).

Thanks.

FYI:
 
While it may be cheaper, it is for a reason, i have seen ractive polished tubes get pitted and have cancerous looking growths within months....

I've got one, which I modded for my '99 (was made for a '02).

i guess more like white cloudy patches, some as big as a quarter, like it was 20 years old....only seen one like that, but a few that have been pitted.
