I basiaclly took off the bottom cover of the intake. I then used ziplocks to keep the filter in place. There is no gain in the lower rpms I actually left like i lost torque because of it. In the high end it really hard to tell, but is sounds pretty nice. Later on placed the stock filter cover back on because i saw no gain.

heres a video of what it sounds like.

LOL, I made a getto intake for my 1991 Nissan NX2000 and you should of heard it...it sounded GREAT! I used a K&N Cone filter (not sure if that is the official name of it) but I don't know if I gained anything other than:

Dyno-MIGHT! LOL

Does anyone else see anything wrong with this video?


EDIT * Nevermind, I understand. You're 17. *

He's lucky no one got hurt.

Be prepared to be flamed now.

oh boy

sounds nice are u stock?

yup completly stock

Not bad at all. Does sound much deeper than stock. Kinda sounds like what I did when I had my Miata. Took off the snorkel and lower half of the airbox, turned it away from the exhaust, and bolted the filter in place. Didn't make a spit of difference in power/torque, but did it ever sound good... I might just have to do this. :D

I did the same thing to my 200sx with a 1.6 liter motor and it sounded beast. Im guessin all these tiny motors make a lot of noise.

Oh sorry everyone, YES....why were you driving so fast in a neighborhood...that WAS WAY TOO FAST...sorry everyone, I was going to say something but I was in a rush....LOL, and that's irony

streets on the left are all dead ends and it i had ppl stand with their cars at the other ends to delay traffic.

I know i know, but it still doesnt give me the right to speed :( Only did it once, but once to many. You guys will always have an excuse. You were young once too :P

*off-topic* Good to hear you took some precautions. :D Kudos.

I don't really care, but, there are clearly two cars driving up the street so your buddies did a shit job. There are also multiple drive ways and an intersection.

That was dumb dude.

yeah does have a nice deep sound cool!!

hmm....i wonder what a stock 8 sounds like (from outside the car)...never had one fly by me befor to do a comparosin...but ti did sound pretty damn cool:D .. lol too bad that's all it was...ah well.

Not a lecture, just sharing.

If the laws by you are the same as NY, what you did having friends stand guard actually makes it into multiple crimes (mostly misdemeanors but some are actually felonies if I remember correctly). Take it from an old street racer.

In addition to the slew of tickets the driver(s) are eligible for - speeding, reckless endangerment, speed contest, etc, etc

Your lookouts get ticketed for everything the driver gets ticketed for and if the DA gets involved it gets really crazy. One of the charges the DA can roll out is impersonating a police officer. Better off without the lookouts because that makes everything that happens after premeditated.

Ok, he was going fast, get over it. By the way, does this damage anything in the car. Any problems

What, 60-80 in a neighborhood? I'll admit, alot of the people in here get flamed too hard on the speed thing...but this is just WAY over the line IMHO. Go find some empty backstreet, not a neighborhood. Way too reckless.

i put a home depot intake on my 95 ford probe gt. the kits were almost $300 and i didn't want to pay that much so i asked the probe forum and they said home depot. and for 10 bucks i had a nice cold air intake made out of a/c ducting. it had a very nice sound to it too!

Mah, leave him alone. sure he went over the speed limit, BFD. im sure most, if not all of you have taken your 8 to its limits on a side street and what not. and besides, this is an RX8, if lets say, something jumped out at him 120 feet ahead, he would have enough time to stop, with room to spare :D

I miss my K&N after watching this video. I might do this to mine on a friday or saturday, just to get that nice sound back.

ghetto and stupid.

Rotarex has an intake coming out that is DEEP =) i did most of the R&D il post a video soon, the kit should be out in 2 months or so, should be less than most intakes

Way to fast bro. When your young, you do stupid things. As you get older and a better of your on mortality, you stop alot of that stuff. I worked as a firemen when I was in college. I can't begin to tell you all the stuff of seen. It only takes a few seconds and you or someone you know is dead. Have some since or what you are chancing.

No no porblems at all, no idle problems nothing.

I know i shouldnt have done it, but, i did and now is to late to stop me. Im not trying to make anyone angry, just wanted to show ppl how this mod sounded like.

XDRIAN seems to have got the message. Leave him alone now.

if you take the bottom cover off, you basically remove the vfad. This will cause the loss of end power.

I removed my vfad a few weeks back - i ended up putting it back on the following day because it wasn't worth it.

The only thing worth it was the noise

gah. should be low end power. not end power :)

sounds cool
