thanks rollerbldes.

evil twinkie take your personal problems elsewhere. if you are complaining about how immature o6 rx8 is then why are you following his posts and posting things after him antagonizing the situation?i believe that is immature and stupid.

06 rx8 it sounds really nice. i also have an agency power race pipe but ill post up a video so you can hear it within this week!

psst...katie...dont worry, i clean up after myself...now if your attached to teh stupid...thats a different story...

ps: the injen drops power output...factory minus the baffles produces more power...

do the dyno w/ the racepipe and the injen and then again with the factory...

i have the second fastest NA for a reason dear...

the only PROVEN intakes are the RacingBeat w/ ram...and the AEM (marginal).

the key w/ the factory intake is to use a nice high flow filter...i use green just due to historical experience with them in other applications.

you dont get much from just replacing the intake in this car unless you do the whole system...midpipe and catback...in order to take advantage of the higher flow.

the next step would be to use the CobbAP to retune the fuel maps again to take advantage of the increased flow. if your using the stock maps, your gain will again be marginal even after doing all those mods. you have to lean out the mix to get the power.

one last thing...if you have not performed the throttle body bypass, your again losing power due to heat soak. you want to bypass sending hot coolant to your throttle body so the air is cool. the injen suffers from sucking in hot air which doesnt help the situation.

Wow dang.. that's interesting considering Injen claims 21hp and 13ftlb. I'll wait for a dyno though.. if what twinks says is true then their numbers are WAYY off. They can probably get sued for it.

Are you an idiot? Twink is trying to help you out by providing information on better intakes than Injen and you turn around and bite him?

You, katiwagg, are a fool.

Indeed, Injen BS'ed on the dyno. Then again, many companies BS their dynos.

ok...katie...ill try really really hard to be nice...just because i know you kinda...

but, if you do a search on the forum, you'll find several threads where this specific intake was compared and tested...if you scour the dyno sheets and look at the mods, you can also make the same conclusions...

dude...dont make me clump you into the retard pile...

no, they did not BS their dyno, if your car is TUNED right, you can have UP to 22 hp. the only thing is, not many people pay 250 to tune two mods. but hey, if you want the power than ya get it tuned.

similar to how K&N claimed the same increases due to a drop in filter...

TONS of companies make claims, and produce fake dynos to get people to buy product...

fortunately, lots of us "old timers" on teh forum were around to harrass and test and post the results...

its all there...

intakes, intakes, intakes...is a nice place to start...

Ok, on Injen's website, they said that it's a bolt on intake. What does bolt on mean? NO TUNING!
If they advertised it as 22hp with a "bolt on" system, then there's no tuning involved; this intake does not make 22hp, therefore, fraud.

dude...the dyno is BS...

highest NA dyno was produced by TeamRX8, which methodically tested and posted his results.

best you will EVER see in NA trim...is 230whp.

btw, the only way to get the car tuned is to use the CobbAP which was NOT available until recently...OR get a standalone...

either way, its clear the results are impossible for a normal person to achieve...due to real-world testing conducted by race firms...

the racing beat intake looks similar to the stock intake for a reason...Mazda did a fantastic job...

Wow performance companies really goes too far to earn a buck. That's like me saying my miracle hands will add 50 horsepower. Oh.. btw I dyno'd my hands with NOS.

the other problem is that the rennys all dyno differently depending on wear and maint...

the intake system is carefully tuned for lowend power...when you replace it, you get more sound, and feel "top-end"...

what you are feeling is the car struggling at the lower end of the power band, and it "coming to life" after it gets to the higher end where bolt-on intakes are able to provide enough flow. this makes you think you are gaining power due to the difference in feel.

in reality your only feeling the car lacking low end and doing its normal job when you get to the high end...

katiewagg, since you believe what companies tell you, then I think you should buy this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Turbo...mZ250311648692

I swear to you, and only you, that this will give you +50whp, +20mpg, and +100wtq.

Yeah? I have proof that my car was the fastest NA car (without the AP and was still the highest powered) at the SoCal RX-8 Dyno Day with MM and CRH.

BTW, this was with an INTAKE that "I" made.

you have it wrong retard...unlike YOU picking on and calling out chicks because they love cars...we are on here trying to INFORM using FACTS, and not insulting or demeaning...

again its not surprising you cant tell the difference...STFU and GTFO...unless you have something useful to contribute...

i would LOVE to be proven wrong, however i know better...i can do math, and tune my own car because i understand it...outside of the fact others have tested the injen for everyone and posted the results...

if you want to find out how fast i am...come to the track and i'll show you...road race or 1/4mi...that simple...
