for those that are intrested on a green filter for your rx8. i just placed the order with autopartswarehouse.com and payed only $59 dollars with free shipping, will let you guys know if i feel a diffrence on the car when i complete the install.

 

yea,
i got one from here. http://www.performancepartswholesale...ter~parts.html

i got installed, but have not really driven it yet.

great service, very quick.

beers

 

What are the supposed benefits? Anything measurable?

 

better airflow, hp benifits not enough to mention. reusable. clean and reoil. i have no idea what a stock air filter costs, but the green will pay for itself in 30k miles.

beers

 

how long is the stock suppose to last for?

 

who cares....those freaking stock cotton swabs inhibit airflow like crazy...i don't even know why auto manufacturers still have them as an OEM part....everyone knows they're restrictive..

 

the green filter flows much better than the stock ones. I did a not so scientific test by blowing through the stock then through the green using my mouth.

The green is good if you have an aftermarket catback and don't want your car to sound like a ricemobile. it's a drop in replacement for stock, and the note of your engine will be about the same, maybe slightly deeper.

 

guys i just installed the green air filter today in my rx8 and i defenetly feel the difrence specially when it comes to the throttle response i also noticed a slight defrence on the exhaust note it sounds deeper than with the original air filter. I defenetly recomend you guys to not waste your money on a full cold air intake system unless you guys are planing to get the racing beat thats about to come out. Love the results.....

 

Where have you heard that RB is having an intake to be out soon.. iv looked ?

 

i love my green..

 

rb intake has been covered a few times also pics were available this was last months news. The intake itself is not out yet.
whats wrong with the pink filter :p

 

now.. thats a question for my wife :P

 

Are you telling me that you can feel the difference of MAYBE 2 horsepower with the green filter? OK..........

 

no i dont, but i just had a small gas mileage bump after 1kmiles with it.

beers

 

i can feel the diff yes.. And the sound is much more aggreasive

 

well, no actually, they do very well at the low flow speeds that the stock intake boxes are designed for. they're cheap to make, filter very very well, are disposable (meaning that unless you opt to use a different filtration system, it's pretty much guaranteed people will be buying more of them) and biodegradeable, and do what they do really well.

if you got more than 1hp, right all the way at the highest rpm torque peak, i wouldn't believe it unless i saw it myself. completely impossible.
