Hey i'm looking for a lil horsepower upgrade and i figure a cold air intake would do the trick! So at autozone they sell a K&N cold air intake but im not too sure about that. So before i choose to settle on that i'd like everyones advice on which cold air or short RAM intake would be best overall for the rx8

 

k&n is short ram
only true CAI would be AEM/MS

search for the intakes intakes intakes thread.

 

Racing Beat hands down.

 

there're plenty of threads of intakes, including a compilation thread, i believe

but in short, the stock intake was pretty optimized from the factory. all the intakes give you very very very little return for the buck, and a fair # of 'em are actually worse than stock. the only ones i would personally get are the mazdaspeed or racing beat

 

racing beat WITH the ram air duct

 

Just to be different.. Odula FTW!

 

The AEM CAI and Mazdaspeed CAI are my favorites.

The Racing Beat with their duct but that is crazy expensive for the complete setup.

We carry all of the above I actually have one left of the AEM CAI.

I have also heard of interesting things with the odula duct as well with some impressive gains.

 

PRM !! they just came out with a new kit for the RX-8

check it out www.prmracing.com

there's also a review thread on this site.

 

ummmm - yeah......

i'm gonna need some dyno sheets and more reviews..........

 

dyno pics or it doesnt exist

 

Weapon-R !!!!! ROFL !!!!

 

RB duct with stock airbox(screens and VFAD removed) and a K&N filter

 

It all depends on what other mods you have in mind to add in the future or currently have...

 

How about the stock airbox mod since most intakes net 1 or2 HP if any alot are know to decrease HP

 

I vote for RB air duct, K&N filter, and no baffle walls.
