Ok,
COBB RMM is installed (yesterday)
Initial thoughts are all over the place.
First start; AC was on, high cold idle etc. NVH had increased a LOT. Inc small increase in exhaust noise generally also which was surprising to me. This general NVH increase was expected and I told myself that before the first start/drive. So no freak out, but it needs to be noted.
First drive was not ideal as a test, but I do think I feel some additional "directness" in the driveline as a whole. Which was the goal. 1-2 shift slightly improved (I have the already stellar shifter seen in previous posts above)
Did one"spirited" 1-2 pull/shift while going around a corner, and still got some inside wheel hop.
I'll report back once I have put some klm on the set up and the RMM has had a chance to break-in a little.
TLDR:
1: It feels good and does what it says on the tin mostly.
2: Downsides of vibes etc I suspect will diminish (disappear?) as the RMM breaks in.
So I'll report back later.
Jxxx.

It's brilliant.
Just do it. Pretty much the same as everyone else has said.
There are no downsides at all.

It’s so bad hey, I have had the worst pick up on mine. Felt like I had a flat on the way home the noise it made. I just swapped the back to the front and usually it’s all cleared up in a week. I have done 4 hard track days so far and about 13000 km in a year and the PS4S tires are very close to giving up.
