I would like to add a few comments on the RE intake. Yes it will give you buzz it that is what you want, but there are some penalties.

The RE is beautifully manufactured. However, it's design is lacking in a number of important areas IMHO.

1 - It lets hot engine bay air into the engine. So it is not a CAI. That is a backwards step IMO.

2 - The inlet to the MAF does nothing to smooth the flow of air through the the MAF. The accuracy of the MAF reading is extremely important to the operation of the PCM.

For what it is worth.

Cheers,

I'm not really referring to the "buzz" anymore, I'm going to replace the air intake anyway, the topic is taking a new spin.

So, in other words you are saying I shouldn't go for the RE CAI, right? Do you have any alternatives in mind?

Because money is tight at the moment, I haven't really created my "wishlist" yet, at this point I'm starting to gather different opinions on the stuff that's available and in development.

I'll get my upgrades in this order:

- Air intake
- Exhaust
- Coilovers
- Rims / Tires
- Bodykit

I'm depending on your professional opinions to choose the correct air intake replacement. Thanks

Btw, money is no object, I rather wait longer for (a) until I have enough money, and (b) to get the best parts available.

 

I amnot trying to get a woosh noise. Im talking about the very quiet eeeeeeee noise that the spinning rotors makethat is very faint and you canonly hear from inside the car. Its the sound that seems like a flying saucer is spinning nearby. From the soundclips I have heard of the rotary extreme intake it doesnt amplify the noise at all andI also think the kit is overpriced.

 

JeRKy 8 Owner: not to mention that the variable air duct is sitting in front of the airbox, meaning you are kinda canceling it out with an undisclosed filter replacement as the RE CAI

there ya go, one of the neat features of it going down the train
