AFE SS no doubt..i just bought one from turbo rx8 n im plannin on install it myself whenever it arrives!!!

AFE short shifter - no contest.

The K&N Typhoon is arguably the best Hp producing intake in a vehicle that doesn't really benefit too much from aftermarket intakes, but is VERY loud, so think about that one a bt more.

edit: if you're looking for a very cost effective intake consider the Racng Beat Ram Duct mated to the stock airbox and using a K&N flat filter. This necessitates removal of the bumper (not very hard) so you can in turn remove the VFAD (also not very hard and a good thing). ~$185USD for noticeably better response.

i had the exact same question. I'm selling some rims to a friend and with the money i'm wanting to either get a CAI or SS. I was lookin at the typhoon and AEM CAI and i can't really find SS online for my rx8. Anybody have links to any SS's?

Scroll about 2/3 the way down the page.

this is THE most popular Short shifter out there. I think Mazdaspeed had one for a while but it was overpriced and no one bought it. Whenever you hear someone mention a SS, this is the one they speak of.

I'm just scanning around for a used AFE SS...

Sell me one?

No one will ever part with their AFE SS. ;)

btw: a Voodoo Magnum knob for it is recommended and a laser etched shift pattern is also nice (Joe at http://www.knobmeister.com/page14.ph...roductListPage will take care of you; just specify a 6-speed pattern).

is the K&N really that bad? I just bought the one that fits right into your stock airbox......then removed one of the stock screens.

k&n drop in is fine its the ver1 &ver 2 short rams that arnt great

its not that its just because the k&n doesn't have a cover it heat soaks...which decreases performance.

once again i'd go with the AFE short shifter with the voodoo shift knob! amazing combo!

Screw the intake and short shifter, go with some loweing springs. It will make your car handle better and it also looks good.

Probably will go with Sprint springs next season (yesssss 2 inches all around)

I ordered the shifter.

Mid pipe FTMFW.

AFE Short shift dude...

yeah the AFEss is the first mod i did.. and probably my favorite mod.. other than my midpipe. highly recommended!!

like I said, I ordered the shifter.

I'm looking forward to it because I'm used to motorcycles where the shifting "throw" is virtually non existent.

grats! you'll love it
