K&n
Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has a K&N air filter in there RX-8??? I was wondering if there would b better gas mileage then a oem mazda filter........ I'm not really looking for more horsepower but better gas mileage and cost saving when replacing the filter.
Thanx

The only intake that seemed to give better fuel economy was Racing Beat and maybe 5hp. A lot of members have said they got 3-5 extra mpg, albeit you don't have a lead foot. Not so sure about the K&N intake.

I just put the filter in about 2 weeks ago also did
the stock air box mod by taking one of the "screens" out...
and have noticed i went a little longer without having
to put gas since i always only put $20. But i cant really tell if its due to the fact that im on
a budget ( speeding ticket
this month), and have been driving 55mph to school and work..lol
but really driving slower is the way to go for saving gas.... cause
when i red line often i can see the damn needle move...

Oh, in that case, there is no hope of an intake that increases mpg. lol

Thanx for the replys.......... If a K&N will give me the same gas milage as a stock air filter I'm cool with that.... I just like the fact that the K&N is re-usable
