1. look at the top of your screen under the rx8-club.com banner
2. find the 6th button from the left, I believe it says "Search" on it
3. Click said "Search" button
4. Perform search
5. read results

yeah and once you learn where the search button is, you'll learn that none of the intakes do **** for HP gains...they're just noisemakers...just like on your previous civic.

Just keep the stock intake and replace the filter with a green or K&N filter intill something that works well comes along.All the filters out now are over priced and do nothing.

Get the Racing Beat Revi system. best out there right now, unless you can afford the HKS suction unit, which is good as well.

for me on search you have to go to advanced and sort by relevancy or it sorts by date and that's no good.

Mine is not quite as ghetto, but close... when combined with my drop-in green and gutted airbox, it does the job (louder and a couple of horses).

man i'm sick and tired of hearing everyone complain about intakes.. intake this intake that...whatever!!!If you feel the RB intake will work for you then go for it. Same goes for HKS, (except k&n) etc. Either way you go your not going to gain a whole lot of power. It really comes down to personal preference! So you use what works for you.

It is, what it is on this car. You drop $600+ on an exhaust to get a better sound & 3-4 hp, so dropping $300 for an intake to get 3 hp & bette sound is about the same thing. Baby steps. Other than Canzoomer tuned, nitrous, FI, and kind've midpipe, I don't many mods that give meaningful hp. You have a flywheel, but the install is a bitch & a half compared to intake or exhaust.
