REVi Ram Air Duct and Revi filterbox.
 

Today I installed the REVi filterbox in my RX-8, and I'm not sure if I like the "throaty" sound. Will there be more or less sound if I also buy the REVi Ram Air Duct?

Thanks,

A-

if anything, it'll be a bit more since you're now creating a funnel to the air intake via the duct. But I'd assume only if you're near the front end of the car.

Air duct + REvi is a GREAT combination. Subtle yet agressive when you're WOT.

Okay .. :) Maybe the CAI is not for me then.

I'm sure it is, performance-wise, but how loud is it ? :)

With the duct, I think it's one of the quiestest intakes on the market besides the stock setup.

The intake sound also diminishes when you put a higher flowing exhaust on. Decrease in back pressure makes it a little quieter. But then you have the exhaust, so its a whole 'nother can of worms.

I can't tell a differance in sound with the Ram except at idle.

Ja you need to do the rear end, should have done that first.

Thank you guys :)

I also have a Racing Beat exhaust lying around which will be installed in a couple of days :)

why are you worried about a slight increase in sound - then go ahead and install a catback? The catback doesn't do much besides change the way the car sounds...

I'm not worried, but I do not want my car to be "too" loud :Freak_ani
After driving aroud a bit with the REVi I have gotten used to it. The most positive thing with it is that my idle's smoother, and that my car actually starts easier :ylsuper:

^ trust me that intake is quiet compared to all the other ones on the market... On my old AT i put a Revi on it and it was quiet and I liked that sound of it!! since trading it in I have the AEM and the new MS Sport Catback and trust me your car is quiet compared to mine... When I go WOT through an underpass it is ridiculously loud..... the revi and duct would be a good investment though as you know does little to nothing for our cars...

the intake is quiet but it tones the aftermarket exhaust at WOT!!! after around 6000rpm the intake starts to come alive! by the way i have borla!

Have anyone noticed that there is considerably more intake noise when sitting in the passenger position? :)
