If you don't want to wait, you can't beat the dealer.

I think he/she try to say
"Audio Management 9
Timing recording: notification of the call boxes based on the actual work, telephone recording system set up for recording sessions. Call Monitor: telephone recording for the arbitrary way it immediately calls eavesdropping. Parallel: sound recording and phone records for retrieval replay at the same time. Network Information: Audio Box check conditions through the network by listening to recordings."
I guess you have to pay for your listing first.
BTW,,,,
Can someone delete this member?

Holiday bump.
I will start pulling my bumper out in next 2 weeks.
If I could not find used with in this week, I will buy new one then.
Hope it will arrive before I start pull those parts out.

This is an item that many people out there want, not many are selling, and you are likely to save very little off the new price.... I sure hope you aren't in a hurry so why bump everyday? My advice is just order a new one from Racing Beat and get peace of mind and satisfaction. After all, time is money.

Basicly, ram air duct will replace oem VFAD with hopefully, providing higher flow...
What is the purpose of the Variable Fresh Air Duct (VFAD) unit?
The Variable Fresh Air Duct (VFAD) is a vacuum operated intake valve that is incorporated into the fabric fresh air duct under the nose of the RX-8. The actual VFAD assembly is located under the nose of the car at the entrance to the stock air box. Contrary to many people's expectation, its NOT a tuning device for power – it is a tuning device for noise! Under most driving conditions (low RPM, low power) it draws intake air through the fabric duct to reduce intake noise. At 5250 RPM, the valve opens allowing some intake air to bypass the long fabric tube and reducing the pressure drop.
In our testing, using the stock air box with the VFAD operating as intended by Mazda, this assembly caused no measurable power loss. Removing it merely adds a small amount of noise below 5250 RPM.
