AZ Typhoon

Is buying a typhoon cold air intake worth the purchase? I have read the reviews on here but there have not been any good answers. Thanks

If you have two options:

A) Buying a Typhoon intake for ~$350 and installing it in your car

B) PayPal me $350 and stick with the stock intake

You will have better power, torque, mileage, and no CELs with option B. None of which are true with option A. It is literally the worst intake you can buy that has a brand name. The only way to get worse is with no-name ebay 'kits'.

You may wish to read the section on intakes in this thread: https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-discuss...rx-8-a-233937/


No idea why you created this is Audio and Electronics section though.

Yes, read the intake section of the thread I linked. I'm avoiding retyping it all again.
