<?php
$regex = '
/
([^i]+) # product name before i. You could also negate \s to
validate, if necessary
i+(?:\b|$) # one or more is before a word boundary or end of line
/x';

$product = preg_replace($regex, '$1', $product);
?>

Just tested it, and it seems to work how the OP specified. This will
replace all i's following the product name:

$p = '320i 320ii 400 555iiii';

Becomes

320 320 400 555
