No has had any experience with this system at all? I just ordered a K&N drop in....but I am thinking about doing a SRT system or a RMM system. The problem is my car is a certified Pre-owned and I can see the dealership voiding warranties and such.

How does the sound from under the hood change with the RMM intake installed. I have a K&N drop in now and I dont really notice anything. Also does the RMM intake come with something that allows that sensor to be plugged into it?

Yes there is a sensor mount on the intake much like SRT or K&N...
