I just bought a 2004 RX-8 and i really want an intake and i want to know what is the best one to use and the loudest. Thanks

 

Most of the data seems to show that the stock airbox works just as well as the aftermarket ones. But others with more experience might chime in. Do a search on intakes, and you will find a bunch of info.

There is also a stock intake mod that can be done that will make more sound and frees up some power for some people. Do a search on intake mod and it should turn something up.

Best intake is No Intake !

 

stock.

 

ahh,,, but they can never reute the increase in power from the racing beat unit.

 

Yes, but we can bring up Price to Power ratios...

 

there was a really sweet pvc intake posted somewhere, get that

 

just run with no hood and no intake system.

please search, this thread is wont give you any real answers because this has been asked thousands of times.

 

That's just the thing:you don't "need" an intake. The one you have works as well or better than any you can buy.

 

he wants the loudest one he can get.

here's a tip, hot glue a few kazoos in your current intake, and drill a few holes in the piping.

also nygps is right, the best intake is no intake at all. filters block airflow.

 

If you want the loudest, get the K&N. Don't expect any of them to give you a feelable gain though.

 

You're wrong for once RG.

Loudest would be no intake !

 

The K&N isn't exactly what I'd call an intake!

 

Youtube! I have found so many video/sound clips of different intakes on youtube. Just type in the name of the intake and RX8......you'll be amazed how many clips you'll find. :D
