Hi all. Not sure if there are any posts about this (I'm sure there is), but I'd love to know what the best CAI is for a deep rumbling sound? I cant stand the high-pitched whining ones like the Typhoon. I dont want my 8 to sound like a crotch rocket.

 

isnt there only one cai for the 8, well two i guess, one just being rebranded, it would be the aem one, or mazdaspeed.

 

i think all the others are short ram intakes, if u make it out to a local meet u can hear a variety of them. AMong the regulars you can hear, aem, mazdaspeed, typhoon vs 1, racing beat revi

 

Sweet. Thanks. I've heard a lot of those on YouTube and yeah they were in fact short ram airs. Is there one that has a really deep rumble?

 

i really like the cai intake design from aem/mazdaspeed, you hear it very pronounced past 4 K, its nice, that it lets you hear it when you need it, like when you step on it, when crusiign at 2-3 K, its not too noticeable, which I like since it would get annoying hearing when just crusing, especially if you being to add a midpipe and or catback. There thats one good youtube video of the blue 8, where you hear the guy reviing its pretty much like that, sucks that vid has the fan going in it too. But ya, when I got my CAI intake, I really liked it. Where are you located?

 

I love my Mazdaspeed CAI for the same reason that prospectjtaz brought up...
I can cruise around at low rpm and it's quiet as hell, but under wide-open throttle and approaching higher RPM's it's DAMN loud...

My buddy Dan (turborx8) asked me if I was SURE that my exhaust was stock because of just how loud the CAI sounded when I was following him... It echo's off of buildings and through tunnels louder than my old Intake/Exhaust combo on my Celica. lol

 

I agree too. There are not too many choices to get what you are looking for. Either one will probably suit. I also have the MS and love it. I also just read about another cai soon to be released... Injen perhaps?

 

I'm located in Toronto. The MS CAI must cost a bundle no?

 

dealer cost for the cai is 299 in toronto, a bunch of us are getting together on friday, you should come out, we are local toronto guys too, so u can get a chance to hear them.

 

I had the Revi intake before and it was very quiet.
I now have the MS, and it is quite loud under load...sort of a growl.
Someone said it sounds like it is 'chewing' the air.

 

Nice. Sounds like the MS is the one to get. Wonder if I could find one on Ebay? Is $299 at the dealers installed? I wish I could come out on Friday, but I'm in PEI on business right now. I'd love to get together for a meet soon though for sure. Gotta show off the new 8 (ok, so it's an AT, but the g/f doesn't drive stick and in the city, well...you know the rest).

 

299 is dealer cost, ur looking at 3 somthin for just th eintake, and they wil charge you two hours labor to install, i can do the install for a case of beer on my driveway, or u can come out to a local install meet and learn how to do it, or watch one of us do it.

 

Sweet. Lemme think about the cost and I'll get back to ya. Thanks for the offer man! God Bless the case of beer as currency.

 

My currency option is buckets of KFC or Popeyes
I need to gain weight.

 

Offer only available in Canada! lol...

 

Haha! True indeed. You can get just about anything done with varying quantities of beer. The funny thing is, the more beer involved, the less actually gets done!!

 

lol, yep that graph is a curve, hits the highg point then SWOOPES DOWN

 

none of that happens with buckets of chicken.... except for the massive "itis" feeling afterwards!

 

Come to Stoney Creek and you can hear mine... Its the Mazdaspeed one. Sounds awesome to me!!

 

lol, downtown toronto to stoney creek, lol, leesha, you just want to meet him or have a meet in stoney.

with gas prices I think he saves more and gets to see more at a local GTA meet, good try, niagara cruise is still in the works

 

Shut up darling before I you!!! Sooooo...

 

plan a meet or something leesha, june is looking pretty dead, we might do another install meet in july, but yep, june is looking very dead

 

Do we have any holidays in June??? Long weekends? I'm afraid to book another day off work and certain people...lalalalalaa..may not show if it rains!

I know...lets plan one to go over the border and meet some Americans!!! Oh and go shopping of course... Cosmetics for the RX8...

 

lol u and the states, i managed to get my shopping done for meguairs found two ppl that went down, each allowed to come back 700 duty free, SWEET.

back to track, theres a thread developing on a new intake with possible double digit gains from fujitsu, so you might wanna wait and see how that turns out. a lot of us are calling BS, but there is a graph so far

 

I don't care because the MS CAI is good enough for me! So bs it is... Thanks for the jump at the cruise again...which only a few will turn out of 40 again...
