So I recently bought the S&B CAI and SCT Tuner combo from RPM outlet... Let me first say, that their prices are the best I've found but as far as service they are as bad a Michael Jackson with kids (NOT TO BE TRUSTED). So I received my package in a timely fashion but it was missing the helix throttle body, which also comes with the combo and one of the stabilizer bars for the CAI. So the S&B CAI didn't fit right in my car and the SCT would not work with my car. So I wrote the exchange department (which is the at the bottom and there response is at the top) Their return policy is ridiculous!! They even went so far to say if any oil or fingerprints are on the package or product they would refuse the return... Has anyone else had this problem or has a suggestion on what I should do?

----- Original Message ----- From:Alex Menell To:exchange@rpmoutlet.com Sent: Thursday, August 10, 2006 12:22 PM Subject: SCT Tuner & S&B CAI combo...
Hello I recently ordered the S&B, SCT combo. My invoice#864294 and my phone#818-974-3831. I had extreme trouble with both products... The S&B Filter doesn't fit right and was missing a stabilizer bar that wouldn't help. I also didn't receive the helix throttle body. As for the SCT Tuner my mechanic and I spend three hours on Tuesday trying to get it to work with the new downloads that Sam (RPM employee) sent to me with no luck. Then on Thursday we spent literally 6 hours on and off the phone with SCT talking to Andy who also sent us updates for it and still nothing... I would like to return both items for exchange for the GMS Diablo Tuner and AEM intake... I right now am on vacation but would like to receive them by the time I get back so I am willing to use another credit card to get them sent to me as long as the Items I sent back can be credited to the new card I use... Thank you for your time and service, Alex Menell

Though I have heard of a few folks having problems, I've had great success with RPMOutlet. Bought my cams, headers, x-pipe, and Hurst shifter from them without issue.
A bought a GT500 TB kit from them and the only problem I had was that they didn't send me the rubber adapter. Even if they did it wouldn't have mattered. I have a JLT intake and you wouldn't be able to clamp rubber to rubber and have a tight fit. So I guess no harm done.

Wow another customer not pleased with RPM outlet. This is like the 30th thread I read about them. Should we just make it a sticky to just not do business with them so people don't get screwed as always lol.

All people need to do is a little research before they buy. RPM has been screwing up crap for at least 3 years that I know of. Caveat Emptor...
