I changed back to Stock Intake Box ...
Yeah yeah Yeah LAUGH ALL YOU WANT !!!!

After Numerous complain from my girl friend, saying that its loud and stuff, almost made me just wanna crash my RX-8 into a wall and be done with it ... I have no choice but to change it back to Stock Intake system ...

I lost the battle between the men & women ... I failed ! ...

meh, Now I should go out and buy myself one of the K&N high flow filters ...

...

Anyway, I wanna ask for those who has RB duct with stock intake box. there is a gap between the duct & the box. what you guys put in between so it will not suck the hot air from radiator ? Im thinking Im just gonna stick some heat shield warp thinggy in between. ideas ?

you can also try bringing her to a few concerts, and making sure she's located by the speakers. After a while she'll go deaf and you'll be home free.

Funny, my girlfriend didn't like the sound of my supercat, but she liked walking home even less.

Hey, think of this; At least you'll always be able to use synthetic oil, it makes the car quieter and smoother!

Its not that I cant find those 2 DIY u mention, Hell I actually found one more.

but Im thinking there might be other people out there who fab their own version of the *duct* to close the gap between, but never posted the results here.

WHO YOU THINK YOU'RE TALKING TO ! I AM THE GOD OF SEARCH ! MUHAHAHAHAHA ! I NEVER FAIL @ SEARCH !


Im thinking to go with a more special route now. Will post the results when done

I thought this method was was best for the RB Air Duct.

Another option is to go with the Odula Air Duct.
