RB duct. HELP!!!

I have a revi intake and grounding wires installed, and the car was pulling nicely. This friday i installed the RB ram air duct, and have noticed a decrease in throttle response, and the car just doesnt seem as fast anymore? Has anyone else (especially someone who owns the revi as well as the duct) experienced this? If so, how can i fix this? Can this be due to a bad install? WHAT DID I DO WRONG? I'm rather upset, because it seems people on the forum liked this duct. Please help. Thanks

I have the Revi + Air Duct and everything is going just fine, actually I noticed an improvement in throttle and response, you might have done something wrong, but it's kind of hard to go wrong if you followed the instructions.

I have the same set up (no grounding wires though) I think the same thing when it was just the revi it seemed less responsive (just slightly) but at speed the car is much better than before. It also seemed to quiet the intake down from inside the car. Did you mount the revi ram air so it was tight to the intake of the revi?

I have both the intake and RB ram duct, both certainly improved my car. I did the install myself, and the only difficulty I had was making sure the RAM fit snugly into the intake..(might want to check this..)..can't think of anything else...hope it works out for you dude.
