hmmmm... maybe.

 

hmmmm Save $300 or let some crazies rip into my 8 at 9000 rpm's while they test a dozen pipe designs.....No thank you.

Now if they paired it with an exhaust and my 8 was broken in then i'd prolly do it. Hell that's like $1k+ of free tuned equipment.

 

hey if you browse around that same site then you would notice that they want cars of all types, not just the RX-8 for their crappy air intake system..

 

yea... lol their intakes look like garbage; i would wait till injen, aem, or k&n starts asking for cars
atleast you know they are a SERIOUS company

 

I have gotten quite a few private messages after this thread http://www.rx8forum.com/showthread.p...threadid=10409 for information where I got my intake pipe from. It is high quality and really makes the car come alive.

colin,
do you think you could provide a sound clip

 

Just wondering if anybody bought any aftermarket air-filters yet. I know they are relatively new, but so far the choices seem to be the Thunder, Rotary Extreme, and the Protech. Nothing heard but good things from them all, too bad my car can only fit one!:p

Just wondering if anybody else other than the proto-type guys buy any and how do they like them!

 

You forget about K&N. :o

 

Just wondering, by K&N, do you mean the one made by Thunderfabrications? ehhe I know they use the K&N Cone for that one. heeh I just call it Thunder

If it is not that one, can u give me the link to the K&N? I really want to see it

 

I dont think k&n website has rx8 filter yet
but you can see pics if you do a search in this aftermarket section

 

Anyone thought about using one of these since cai needs front end pulled off?I know its easy and all but these filters look cool and seem to be a good answer for the 8

What is so bad about pulling the bumper off?

You are gonna do it with a lot of other CAI intakes that actually free up restrictions that allow the engine to produce more power!

 

I understand that but i was asking if this filter was any good.Im really thinking of a K&N or that protech and stubbled on to this.Does anyone have any experience with one of these?

 

For the people that don't want to get an aftermarket air intake but want a little better performance. K&N has this request page for parts. They said in an email they sent me that there isn't a replacment filter in the works but if I feel like making a request to go here. Lets flood them with requests so they will get moving...

Done, as this is the way I want to go until I add FI a few years down the road... :D

 

good idea
gone and done

 

Already!

 

I did that weeks ago. I guess it wouldn't hurt to do it again.

 

I have a reminder set in Outlook to send them one every Friday (up to seven so far).

 

Done it today!

 

Heres a 30 dollar option but I didn't like it really. I think the factory box does a better job of sucking air into the engine and I felt like this was just way too hot. Techies please just let me be. It was a good attempt I thought. Ah well, I'm back to stock now. The sound was awesome when the engine was under heavy acceleration.

 

Heres a side shot.
