Racing Beat intake is $335 + $135 for the air duct. And your already over your limit. Things in your range Agency Power Pulley $160, Mazsport Cooling mod $160, Axial Flow Short Throw Shifter $259, Flywheels $360 - $500+ depending on which one you go with, Racing Performance Supercat $395, that about all i can think of. Everything for this car is very expensive, myself I just spent almost $700 tonight on the SuperCat and Axial Flow Shifter.

Hope this helps,
Jay

ok thanks
i have narrowed it down to an intake (Revi or Mazdaspeed) or the supercat
but my question is will the supercat even help much if i use it with the stock exhaust
will i gain any hp or create a deeper louder noise

a bit,

and not so much..

nothing is earthshattering in these mods... and the stock exhaust quiets everything down a whole lot..

if you want an intake, i would recommend the aem because it is the cheapest out of all of them and will get you just about the same power as the other ones(the only bad side is that the dealership wil void your warranty) as for the supercat, i think its quite expensive ( around $350 from wat im aware of) and you can just get the B&B test pipe and you can get it for about $250. as for the sound, you'll need a catback to make the sound deeper.

Buy an XBOX 360 or rent a shifter kart for a day. Otherwise the RX8 will turn into a money pit.
