Hey, I ve had my rx8 for over 6 months now and my friend think it would sound a lot better with the AEM cold air intake.


Does anyone here have a vid of his car or another rx8 to see the sound with the cold air

thx

that sounds sweet, but only if it would give you more HP

 

My friend actually had the AEM, didn't like the feel of it, and was scared of Hydrolocking, so he went with the K&N Typhoon 2gen intake, you should look into that.... from what other drivers as well as him have told me, it feels better.... just a thought...

 

Sorry, newbie for Intake here. What's Hydrolocking?

 

Doesn't like the feel, can you elaborate on that? Neither of the intakes makes much difference, I'm suprised you'd be able to feel the differences between the two at all.

 

I think, by hydrocking he means the air filter may get so wet to the point that air won't flow through it anymore. The AEM filter is in a place where it may get wet.

Feel - yes that could mean anything from how it smoothly it idled to overall subjective opinion of quality.

 

When the engine takes in water thus locking it instantly. The filter usually has to be submerged and hydrolocking is usually rare.

A by-pass valve can eliminate this problem.

 

aem intake is the best smooth idle drove in the rain no problemjust avoid big puddles and you will be fine

 

correct. the other guy was not... just to let you know.

 

just te be sure....this video is with the AEM right?

 

and I still cant find the K&H typhoon intake....any link guys?
