Amateur Intakes

Hey everyone. I'm too new to post any thread with the main boards still. But I have a question for all my newbie friends here.

How do you guys/gals like the stock intake?

Would it even make a difference to put a short ram on?

I have kits for a SRI or a Cold air, but I don't want to mess with the stock
unless is makes a difference.

If I took the stock entire airbox off, and leave the slinky rubby hose, and then put an SRI filter onto the end of the hose that was supposed to go to the airbox...do you think that would do anygood? or no? Just questions! I love my silver rx8.

a Maxdaspeed or aem intake if installed just right might make a few HP anything else and you will be lucky if you do not loose power. If you want to change the sound to louder and risk loosing power go for it.

The stock intake already takes cold air only. Leave it alone.

Very few intakes beat stock. The Racing Beat DUCT is supposedly a win for reducing intake air temps. The current system can get you 30+ degrees higher than ambient.
