I'm not sure about shipping to Canada, I would call them today or e-mail them. They take several days to reply by e-mail.

Nemesis8 , thanks for the video, looks and sounds great. Not too loud, but you still know somethings going on.

I studied my early airleak problem, and have come to the conclusion that you need to put double sided tape around the base of the filter, and then pry the gray foam rubber gasket over the base of the filter before sliding the filter into the intake tube. That way it does not slip off like mine did. I'm going to FYI SR about my fix.

The white foam tape I added.

Slide the gray foam donut over the foam tape. Remember to use double sided tape.

Thanks for all the info Nemesis. I've been following your progress on this and am grateful you took this venture and shared it with all of us. However, I don't know if you shared enough of whether you are enjoying it more due to performance reasons or just because it makes your car "sound" more agressive. I'm a newbie, myself, but I should be getting my RB exhaust soon. Air intake was definitely my next consideration and any and all info you provide will be highly regarded.

I am enjoying it more for the performance rather than the sound. That was my main objective. I wanted a stealthy RX8, not a loud one. I can tell you that this intake does add HP, but I just don't know how much. I'll see what Greg at SR can tell me. Hope that helps.

Thanks Nem. It's you all day baby.

HiTMaNN

hahahah that last post was hilarous!

I'll see if I can make a comparison. The entire SR intake weighed 9 lbs in the packing box, and I have the box, so I'll weigh it and get the net. Give me a few minutes.

HiTMaNN

hows the fuel milage going?

Nemesis8

iTrader: (3)

I'm doing a mileage check this week, and will post in a couple of days. I have a lot more performance than I originally thought. I cannot wait to drive the car lately, and look for any excuse to run an errand!

HiTMaNN

thats awesome dude

RX8MAN04

yo! so how much weight diff. is there from stock to sr intake

Nemesis8

iTrader: (3)

OK, sorry for the delay - my stock weighed in at 10 lbs on the digital bathroom scale, and the SR weighed in at 8 lbs. So it is lighter.

I have also gone 85 miles and just now hit the 3/4 full mark on the gauge! On Friday I will re-fill and see what the numbers crunch to.

UPDATE: Still on the same tank on Monday the 12th. I now have 220 miles and I just reached the 1/4 tank mark on the odometer. I will fill tonight when I get home and calculate the MPG and post it here.

UPDATE: 18.5 MPG on first tank after install of SR Intake. That was combined City/Highway driving. So, it did go up from my 16 MPG I was getting.

HiTMaNN

thats cooool can u please get a clip while driving i wanna hear it in the car and in action!

Yes Rotary extreme is right. The only time air is really moving in this intake systems of mazda's is at 70 mph Plus. I did pre filter air temp measurements at differant speeds. on a 92 degree day driving approx 15 miles at approx 45 mph the temp was 118. At 70 mph on the interstate it was 95. This indicates no airflow at 45mph. poor design in my humble opiion.

What's poor, the stock OEM airbox?

Yes, you might be right Olddragger. Chuck is very good with his facts, however SR Mot. Sports Intake is a nice piece of equipment. I'd like to see some real facts on paper. The price is quite high for my liking, but most of SR parts are. They charge 200 for a gascap, when in actuality they are $90....

My bets are with RacingBeats Intake - apparently their new intake will be released late summer.

Nice work Nemisis8...enjoyed reading all the info!
