    HFC - JHM or RAI?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Both have similar specs, both have oversize tubes... $405 for JHM, $375 for RAI.

    I know a number of AZ'rs run the JHM and are happy with them. Anyone running the RAI? Opinions?

    JHM without question. Don't buy RAI products. Do a search of the forum and you'll see why.

    I liked my RAI TP, and would buy it again. I also have no complaints about their TP that came with their Red label Kit. I like the concept of
    4 inch discharge that reduces to a 3 inch diameter.
    So while I may be in the minority, I'd go for the RAI HFC.

    I'm the type of guy who likes to run in the minority... So unless someone can deter the RAI HFC, (i.e. Axis), from my list... Hey Axis, why do you not like RAI?

    Same reason as the rest of us. He bought parts from them and got junk that didn't fit.

    Hmm... I'm surprised there isn't a RAI rep online that can't dispute/refute any claims... Jake is on board and knows he doesn't have to say anything... No RAI rep online?

    RAI disappeared from the forums a few years back because of all the quality issues they were having. They used to be pretty active.

    Time changes a lot of things... Products diff? Staff diff? I know some things will never be forgiven, (ask my ex...), but come on, these are car parts. They either work or they don't.

    If thats the case. I think they would have re-introduced themselves back into the B7 A4 community with a apology and make good to some of the guys that was effected. Instead of leaving just hanging. Heard that the RAI KOR GT was a pretty good product thou for the time

    I can only speak on my experiences, and thus far, I have purchased their K0R-GT, their EFR Red label kit, their FMIC, and TP. I've had good experiences with them, and Ray has been a huge help just about any time I've called.

    You can read the seller feedback of RAI.

    Or, I have a 3 year old thread somewhere Post #5

    Or, run in the minority and see for yourself.

    034 makes a great product. Had mine for some time now with no issues. Check out USP, CTS, APR and BillyBoat as well. I'd personally buy whatever is cheapest... (They are all the same for the most part).

    Only in concept. Quality can range pretty widely.
