Racing beat Intake + Duct

Have anyone used the above item for their autos? I've heard good (Does not affect low-end and increase high end) and bad (Pickup is affected) comments about it. Would just like to get more comments from bros out there who have tried it, before i commit myself to buying one. Thanks

I have a low power (192hp) but not auto, it is 5 Manual transmission. However it is a 4 port like your auto. I have installed Revi + RB Ram Air and after several runs in drag track we have found that the Revi RX-8 is 1 car ahead from OEM RX-8. It is not a great result but it exists and it is noticeable.

Buy it and enjoy it -

if there is a gain - it's minimal - if you lose some for some reason - it'll probably be minimal anyway...honestly the whp you actually get(or lose) from an intake alone is virtually unnoticable (sp) at times unless you add some more upgrades...

I didn't notice any gains from it, but it is one of the best aftermarket intakes you can buy for the 8.

I installed the Revi Intake and Ram Duct a few weeks ago on my 04 AT. Even though it was not a hour job to install it was still fairly easy to install and all parts fit like a glove. I have noticed a little gain in the low and mid range but the most noticable change is the sound. Anyone else notice a change in sound? Its not a bad thing but I was not expecting it to change (get louder) when I really stomp down on the pedal.

Planning on RB exhuast next.
