In my opinion, the stock air box on the rx8 was engineered quite well, it doesnt need to be replaced by a $250+ CAI.
most if not all of those intakes wont get you more than 6-7 hp, and the stock box looks good overall in the engine bay too.

just remove the intake, vfad and maf, then put a screen over the hole in the throttle body and cap the secondary vacuum inlet. You'll get a cel, but it's just the maf. It'll idle like ****. But it'll sound awesome. And you'll get the most gains. they'll be sporadic. but hey, it's all about peak horsepower, right? c'mon. use the search button.

just run the accordion tube straight from the throttle body.

just stick w the stock intake and put in a k&n drop in filter, if u put other intakes u will loose the lilttle torque u have and u barley gain any hp it's a waste of money all they really do is make ur car sound a lil louder thats it!
