Intake systems

I have a 04 titanium Gray 6 speed rx8..was thinking about getting the K&N intake system but ive heard people say that the stock intake is almost just as good and the K&N would not make much difference..Right now I have the K&N drop in air filter which does make a difference over the mazda filter..any thoughts would be welcomed.

Stock is just as good . AEM and RB are the favoured intakes around here but neither of those make much of a difference either .

Lear how to search - there is heaps of info on this subject on here .

He speaks the truth. If it's your first mod, I'd recommend just sticking with the stock intake for now Or buy the intake, midpipe, and catback all together.

Access port and catless midpipe are about the best bang/buck

BHR ignition coil upgrade. You never have to worry about coils again.

if u want performance. dont do anything to your stock intake. your drop in filter is good enough.

Hmm, save a bit more money and go for a "good" exhaust instead.

I'd say midpipe and AP also would be best bang for buck


oh and the stock airbox mod....
