I dont think this has been discussed in the 8 years the rx8 has been around. Subscribed and interested in the outcome!

To actually answer your question, the Revi intake from Racing Beat is regarded as one of the best ones for our cars.

Not everyone on here is a douchebag.

Love my AEM intake. If you've got the cash to spare its a great mod as far as an RX8. Doesn't add much power but its not like $300 gets you much more power anyway. Looks great under the hood, sound is amazing, and good quality. The Racing Beat intake is also supposed to be great. Keep in mind though you won't gain much power at all from an intake mod. Mazda almost perfected the RX8's intake and exhaust systems. Not much room to improve.

Revi air duct + k&n drop in filter + dewalled air intake (but keep your air screens in place)
if you dont get the revi air duct, remove your vfad. and if you live in a warm area do the throttle body bypass mod so hot coolant doesnt go through it heating up the air going into your intake.

hope this helps
