Red face Re Amemiya Ram Intake

Hey guys, at the moment the car is stock. I'm new to rotory. I also have a DC5R and after installing a intake it sounded awesome on high rev.

Since the rx8 is high revving as well, 9500rpm FTW!! i was thinking of getting intake as my first modification to the my 8. After looking through the holy bible of hyper rev i have came to a decision of purchasing the Re Amemiya Ram Intake.

However, before i do, i have a quick question. The car came with a mazdaspeed bumper, would the ram intake fit 100% with the mazdaspeed bumper?

it will fit.

Amemiya's Ram intake is almost the same as Racing Beat's.

IMO I think you should get Racing Beat's Ram instead of Amemiya. Its a lot cheaper. and it does the same thing.

I think HK8 leaves in Hong Kong.
I bet Amemiya's part there is cheaper than Racing Beat.

But for HP gain, you would not notice any different.

Nope, Even with Shipping. Re-Amemiya parts would cost more than Racing Beat. Cuz Although they're quality parts, they charge you an arm and leg for it, just like another other Japanese parts.

The problem is I dont think anybody sells Racing beat stuff in HK, while its very easy to get Re-Amemiya stuff in Hong Kong.

you are only half correct my background's hk but i actually in Sydney, Australia. After some indepth thought about this amemiya intake, it's quite dear because i need to get the air box and then seperately getting the ram piping.

Still deciding, the bumper was a worry to me that's all. There's already a pipe with the pipe that i can see that feed cold air into the airbox. Does that mean i need to modify it to fit the RE's ram piping?
