This is the new Air-Intake from HKS for the RX8, replacing the 1st version.
Anyone knows what are the changes and improvement over the 1st version?

 

The only improvement is the actual filter. The same filter element will work with the reloaded. It was designed to get a little bit more airflow through the pipes. I'll try to post pics of it later..

 

Here are the pics:

 

Hi B, if the improvements are only related to the filter itself than I'd say marketing BS , but I gather improvements also apply to the lip funnel and inner/outer frame. In that case, I'm going to upgrade....and then replace my avatar

 

Why would somebody want to draw air from inside the engine bay? weird.

 

True, not as completely efficient as CAI, but short ram intake is oso ok...no hydra lock for sure

 

time for a avatar pic..hahaha

 

it doesn't, the kit comes with a enclosed airbox

 

Besides the aluminum back plate, the new reloaded filters also include a new cage design (about 30% more flow area), outer edge ring for easier filter replacement & improved sealing and a new 3-layer dry filter element.

 

I'll take that 30% more air flow....anytime

 

haha

 

The RE carbon intake is real nice. Shld consider it as well.

 

Well, I just installed the HKS Racing Suction Reloaded & the Fujitsubo Legalis R exhaust.
Both combi seems good and the sound when you rev the engine is.."WOW" ! .... and when you start your engine ..u will hear a low bass exhaust sound. Cool !

 

nice watoke! please post pics as soon as you can!

 

so we can we get this new air filters i want one on my hks kit using the old style that came with it
