Thanks ZOOM,

That is very similar to the RE Amemiya in terms of shape.

Why is there so many squares?

according to racing beat's site, they are for structural rigidity as well as for straightening airflow...

I am guessing that those squares will be positioned behind the diamond holes of the grill.

That is what I thought too.

Hard to think there is no deflection from those square. I am thinking simple high school physics, with a page of wave coming to a series of gaps and deflection and interference.... you get amplification and depression... remember??? It was more than 14 years ago for me.

Hence, I thought there will be more turbulance...when the square finishes and become a single lumen... the easiest test is to flow some smoke thru the intake and see

I dont understand your ?
you can rout the Turbo to suck from the Revi..
the Ram is just forcing colder air from the from grill into the box..

Remember theres a filter in the box so no bugs or water will get it..
Much like the stock air intake that also feed fromthe front grill area.. its just not forcing the air down the stock air box like revi is ...

Yey.. there here..

Damn, sorry to say this but I'm ordering my ram duct from rx8store coz they have it for $118. If you posted it on your site yesterday after you teased us about it, I would have jumped the gun and purchased it pronto regardless of it's $125 price tag. Now that an alternative has sprung up, I'm taking it. Sorry thew, but you have some tight competition here with rx8store.

Timing is essential to this business, especially for a bunch of eager members on this board.

Even then, for us in California there's sales tax... I doubt he can give a discount to undercut the $133 price shipped from RX8store.

No.. the transaction is with a company in Ohio - Racing Beat dropships and is not involved in the sale.

Umm i am sorry to say the answer is yes.. You have to be regesterd and then you have to ask for gold status . You did not do this.. .. once your gold you see the gold price on the items that are marked as such. YOu are gold now !.

why do you ask?
1 support your State CHP
2.. whos buying?

3. Anyone doing buissness in the State of CA has to charge Sale tax to there customers in CA. If the Merchant is not doing this CA can bust them.. Watch it ill send my Govenator after you !!
