Intake question.
Sorry if this is a repeat but I just signed up today after having my 8 for like 2 months. Been busy.
I was thinking about getting the K&N Typhoon Intake Kit and I wanted to know if anyone has one or if they can push me toward one that they would suggest.
Thanks.

perhaps we need a sticky thread listing all the RX-8 intakes known to work without issue, I think they are:
Factory
Racing Beat Revi
K&N Version2
AEM
Blitz
HKS RS
Frankly, the RB Revi is just a glorifed version of the factory box with a cone filter rather than a panel filter. You might as well save your money and instead use the Racing Beat ram air inlet and K&N flat panel filter with the factory box.
though to do it right will require a small adaptor piece between the box and the ram inlet

Thanks. And then I have one more question.
Is it easy to install by yourself or should i take it to the dealer and have them do it? Im only 18 and i dont want to mess it up.

I've heard some good things about the Umnitza CF intake. I may get that myself. Anothr 8 pulled up along side of me the other night and we were talking, he has the typhoon rev 2 in his, sounded nice.

And the one pictured in the catalog is just a generic one that doesn't even look like it would fit in the RX8.
One of the vendors has a link to the catalog.
The MS CAI just keeps getting postponed though, so the wait might really long before it gets released or it might be released soon..
