Hey - he's new. We can cut him a little slack.

Here's some good reading. Note the section on the intake on page 6.
Loosing the VFAD will cost you a little low end torque to gain a little top end.

Check out the FAQ stuff stickied a the top of this forum.

Intakes on the 8 do nothing but make a lot of noise. Minimal hp gain if any. When I say minimal maybe 1 or 2. The Revi with the ram air may get a lil more but not much.

Very true, but IMO...............I think it's the best functioning and well Engineered CAI(with duct) out there. Coupled with the RB exhaust is even better.........unless you're just into noise! I'll bet the combo really doesn't get you more than about 5-7hp overall, but then again..................my butt ain't a dyno.

Hey ******** perform rx-8. I done used the search button for days and days. I been studying everything i can possible figure out. I even been listening to videos on youtube just to hear the sound but performance wise when it comes from intake to intake or exhaust to exhaust thats the reason im asking people here. I just figured since this is an rx8 club thats what people are here for not to sit here and act like im a fool. i asked for opinions not for insults and as u can tell i don't take **** from smart ***** nor do i have the patients as u can tell to deal with them. Thanks from the people that did put there good words in much appreciated. : )

FWIW - what I did was get the RB duct & mate it up to the stock intake .
Also got a K&N drop in & pulled out both screens (eventually) that are just before the maf .
Would bet my left one that it is as good as any other intake out there . However I lost my left one in a previous bet so .......

depends what youre looking for.

if youre going for sound, go for the turboxs (that thing is loud)

for performance, you cant really go past the re-amemiya super dolphin (in titanium of course)

Are you even old enough to drive? You talk like you're 8 years old.

You see, in the english language we have something called PERIODS. It is primarily used to separate sentences for complete thoughts. I notice you don't like them.

Also, you previously stated that you don't have the 'patients' to deal with smart *****. No one was implying that you run a hospital and that you are a doctor...oh wait a minute, did you mean PATIENCE? Silly me, that darn english language thing got in the way again.

Lastly, please refrain from using the term "********" except when referring to your previous night's adventures with your boyfriend. Another fun term you can use is "penisbreath" or "polesmoker" - you should know what these terms mean firsthand.

Welcome to the club.

oh my god. threats over the internet! Congratulations on being an MMA fighter. Enjoy your stay here before you get banned for breaking forum rules on threatening forum members, overuse of cursing and bashing. If you do happen to post here before you get banned, remember for future use that "******" uses an O at the end, not an E.

FWIW, I could care less about your threats and how you think you could '**** me up'. do you honestly think you sound intimidating? My god I know how you Massachussets boys are SO hardcore.

CAN SOME MONITOR REMOVE THIS ****** (see, his ****-mouth is contagious) and his post from this forum for god's sake.

Jesus you have serious issues if you think that the more profanity that you use the more grown up you come across, and the more your point is made.
Listen lets be real here... I REALLY hope that you are some kid b/c the ignorant way that you are speaking to other members on this forum however non-helpful they are or aren't is uncalled for and is idiotic. You have (7) post and you already have made a tainted mark on this forum and I for one, like every other member of this forum wouldn't lift a finger to help you with your ???? after the ignorant display you put forth in your post.

SO AS I SAID EITHER DELETE THIS THREAD YOURSELF AND HOPE WE ALL FORGET YOUR NAME BEING ASSOCIATED WITH THIS IGNORANT TALK OR MONITOR DELETE THIS KID FROM THE FORUM
