update....
The Rx8 has been traded in on a 2003 Infinity G35 Sport Coupe
I found one in great condition and the price was unbelievable
plus they gave me more for the Rx8 than I payed for it

The Rx8 is a total blast to drive... and I will miss it

Ive wanted the G35 for years...

by the time each air molicule has reached the throttle body it has made 3 90 degree turns and is a swirling mass of turbulent air. The screens force the
air flow to straighten out and probably accelerate it somewhat as well.

think of a wad of meat going through a meat grinder... it goes in a a mass
and comes out in straight directional strands.

Rotary_RX8 should get on this.

Because the AEM one as confirmed has metal screens vs. the Mazdaspeed one which has plastic screens.

This is a minor difference, but I'd definitely take the metal screen ones as better quality.

The AEM is a superior product to the MS version because of this. The plastic ones are prone to warping/shifting under heat, as it had done so in mine.
