K&N Typhoon Kit
K&N's website finally has a intake for the RX-8 but no luck in finding a way to see the price or order it. Here's the link.....

WHat if instead of changing to a complete K&N CAI system what would be the drop in model ? Im thinking im just going to drop a replacement on my 8, RotaryGod seemed to know what he was talking about in Plelum and stuff like that and that the airbox is well designed and its already Cold air, so im thinking replace stock air filter panel, but does anyone know a part number for just the generic drop in?

NO dyno charts yet, but i think it will lose power because its not a CAI!! the stock intake is cold air and its a huge filter, the only way anyone is going to get HP increases will be from a better CAI not from a regular Typhoon. In my eyes just a waste of money !!

I want to know what happened to the prototype K&N intake system that someone on this forum was testing. The more I read about this Typhoon thing the more sure I become that this is NOT the same thing. This thing seems like a car show intake to me, rather than a real performance add-on. I could be wrong, and generally speaking I think K&N is an excellent performance-oriented company...but even their marketing propaganda doesn't seem to treat it like a "real" intake.

Yes, there is a "real" intake out there with dyno-proven results: the one by Rotary Extreme. Check out this thread for dyno results and more info... https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...threadid=13610

Hmmm...I thought the prototype that was being tested did have a heat shield...maybe I was just assuming it was an FIPK-style intake and read that on their site.
Between this one and the Rotary Extreme, I'd have to go with the RE for the heat issue you mention. I think you'll be robbing from your potential gains by taking in hot air.

JDS, this is the same intake..as shown below. I dont think its a waste of money, SummitRacing gave me a quote of $185 inc postage. What I am concerned about is the heat from the rotary. Rotary Extreme's intake comes with a heat shield, with Typhoon I just dont trust the space behind it. Wont all that heat cause problems...?
