Found it on the manufacturers web site purchased and will let you guys know how it goes. Gotta say that the 300 price range is kinda crazy but love the sound.

Its pretty easy to find on rotaryfx's web site, but looks like ya paid around the same. mine was 285 shipped from them. installing tomorrow if the weather cooperates. super stoked bout the sound of it too, cant wait to get it on.

Yea but I was trying to find the one thats in the video that was posted....my bad guys.

Probably best to keep links to other vendors off of this vendor's own forum.

How does it sound/perform?

Yeah but i was referring to the one thats in that video that was posted thats the one i got. I thought they sold that one but then realized its not even the same one (the one in vid)

wasn't this the one in the vid?

No its not the one in the vid is bigger and the air filter is also much bigger as well. The one in the vid is a umnitza. Thats why it says umnitza simota cf intake.

yes the one that rotaryfx sells is the same as the video. their picture on the website does not do it justice, the thing is huge!! anywho, enjoy!

I know of several people that own this intake for the Mazda 3. Most of them end up ripping it out within a few months and putting back their AEM. Other than the noise and the CF look, it's really not good for much.

^^ what about the funnel version; any reason to think that might be better?

Also, not really fair to compare a regular intake with a CAI.

Not sure, but it looks pretty badass:bigok:

No it is not the same exact intake LMAO :rollingla its the same concept but the one in the video is an umnitza uses a def filter and also a little bigger.

^^^ OK ^^^ YOU WIN!! I bowdown to your infinite wisdom of cold air induction :bowdown: When you posted the other day the pics of the UMNITZA wouldnt even load on their site, but anywho, i dont give a shyt if the one i got isnt the UMNITZA it still sounds wicked.

HAHA yeah as long as I see a little power gain im fine because the sound i amazing:yumyum:.

You should feel a power gain. I had mine out today after i put it in and noticed a substantial difference at lower rpm's and man does this thing growl as you hit 4500 and continues till redline!!!

OOOOOH I cant wait :bluesuit:

The one I have is the Mishimoto, but it sounds exactly the same. You will love it. Some motorcycles do a double take, they think its a bike when it gets up and past 7500 Rpm

I may just have to change my pants if it sounds that good....I miss my r6 but now i can have a car that sounds almost the same muahahaha:eyetwitch

^^ link not working. maybe privacy settings

Heres a quick vid of my Simota intake. I am going to try to get a better vid once the weather is nicer, but this will give ya an idea of what it sounds like just tapping the throttle a bit.

Sounds like a beast. How does it sound inside the car while driving?

Sounds mean! Especially up around 6-8K. I am totally pleased with the performance and the sound. Ive had short rams and cold airs on other cars ive owned but none even come close to the aggressiveness of this one. Definitely recommend this if you are considering an aftermarket intake system.

Ok so I got mine in and my car is a 2004. Where you have that one long bracket that you can see in your video I can not find a single place in my engine bay around the intake to even mount that bracket to it. On top of that the paper work that came with mine says 08+ So does that mean the one I got is not for my 04 and if so whats the dang difference lol?

That bracket goes underneath the clamp that secures your stainless intake tube to the factory flex tube. I havent gotten mine adjusted just right yet. As you prob know it is just a mount for the engine cover, but if you're like me you want your engine cover back on. If not just disregard that bracket, that's all it's for. im no expert but i dont believe anything was changed in the rx8 yet since coming into production besides asthetics. Even so, mine is an 05, n i know they didnt change anything from 04 to 05. Hope this helps.

^^^Oh, btw!! You may want to add some kind of rubber bushing to the mounting clamps to absorb some of the vibration. I toojk mine off to have some service work done and noticed some "spiderwebbing" in the gel coat over the carbon on the bottom side of the funnel housing. "BUMMER" So when i remounted it yesterday i added a bushing to each side and bought longer bolts to reach the factory mounts. I am going to buy a sheet of "Di-Noc" to cover the bottom to prevent it from spreading around the sides or to the top.
