Anyways, back on topic.......
4 days with the intake installed and no issues with poor idling..... the only complaint thus far, is that fuel economy has gone out the window altogether.
Maybe it's something to do with me revving the f*** out of the car to hear the scream of the intake?
BTW, the engine now makes a distinctive 'whining, whistling' noise at idle, similar to a s/charger...... definitely very cool. :D

Pricing is an interesting art. A few years ago we were selling some software. It was doing pretty well but we were being slaughtered on support, so we decided to double the price of the software to slow things down. Did it? No way ... took off faster than ever ... but at least made it much easier for us to set up better support.

Sorry guys been there done ,the Louis Feraud ,Hugo Boss,D&G thing now days i wont spend more than $20 on a T-shirt or $40 on a pair of no name shorts , heck due to hot weather i have become a Scottsman and let my Quarter pounder hang loose , healthy and another saving 
sandals and thongs are the go .
After wearing suits ,ties shirts an shoes for 23 years mostly on a seven day basis
i have had a true sea change .
The only excess consumption i have is on income producing investment property :D and cars ,horses and women .
I even bought my exhaust from the house of Hymee.

. Actually, the fact I've seen Pretty Woman so many times is inextricably tied to the day I hired that suit, now that I come to think of it. It wasn't dear, that suit......but bloody hell, it's cost me a lot of money........and not just at Blockbuster, either hahaha

I could have bought the K&N for less than half the money, but at the end of the day, I like quality and name brand, so I am prepared to pay for it.
It's the same as why some people wear $150 suits, whereas I love Hugo Boss.
Some like $25 champagne whereas I like Cristal, you get my drift?
Mazdamaniac, you could probably put together a turbo setup for my 8 for less than $5k, but would I get it?
Probably not, I would most likely spend $10K for a Greddy setup instead....... no offence to you, but it would make me feel better, the same feeling I get when I wear D&G, Hugo Boss, etc.

You made an informed choice and you know what satisfies you. That is precisely the knowledge that many who buy these intakes do not posess.

I remember I have seen a "rice" boy having one of those filter ram charger in his car... I wonder who that may be
Yumpat told me Autoexe that the RAM intake that have is from Gruppe M but I don't have actual evidence of that.
FunkyR do you know if Gruppe M actually one for RX-8, I can't access the list for some stupid reasons (the popup blocker).

sorry i think i made a slight mistake. Because i thought AUtoexe that has the Carbon box is actually made by Gruppe M.
But AMUSE had the Gruppe M intake from Revolution isn't it?
Or is it just a Stickers?

Anyway, the one in that pic would be a power charger - the filter ram charger would be a better product if they make one......

True..... many expect the intakes to deliver the world, but instead they get an atlas. :D

Gruppe M always have a shell - or a Ram for that matter. To be AMUSE one is like Blitz's one. Revolution in Japan have the same one. Bloody useless without heat shield and he lost power sucking hot air in. A hot air intake alright

I think he also has Fujita eng manifold, custom straight pipe and single custom made 3" cannon type catback.
I saw his car at this year's Melbourne autosalon. I just have to be at the front enterance and can hear is car cruising along at 5kmh back from the dyno machine to his show spot. Not to mention what he gets on the roller
