Get the Weapon R intake. It's the one that flows best which is why I used it on my Turbo setup.

Do not believe what I wrote above. I was just messing with this lazy *** noob who can't be bothered to search. I would never recommend a short ram intake on an RX8 or for that matter any intake at all unless you just want one for bling factor and sound effects. The factory intake system is a cold air setup and works great.

well the lower portion of my box was cracked... got a wrecked car, and it needs a filter and some other pieces of the intake, so its the perfect time for an upgrade. I will have over $150 into parts to get this factory one right again. So I was looking at these two..

I gained 16rwhp with the Se-Arch intake. I have the dyno **** to prove it.
Here's a link to the manufacturer: Se-Arch custom fabrication

An intake is not going to give you any big power gains. But they sound amazing and look pretty. I have the AEM. If your budget allows you to spend a few hundred bucks on some sound and bling then go for it! AEM and the RB revi would both be reliable, smart purchases if you decide its what you want to do.

I dyno before i put the aem on and had 166rwhp...after installing the aem i dyno the car and i got 171.5 rwhp...so its real number, i have the dyno sheet around... (AEM put a 8hp gain on the website)

If you only put down 171.5WHP then you have issues. Unless your drive a 6 port Auto that is. But it sounds like you are not working with a properly running 6 port so your results are meaningless. And if you dynoed on different days, different conditions, then your results are even more meaningless.

yeah i know my car doesnt make even 180hp... but anyway... i enjoy it as it is... the car had almost 2 years at the mazda dealer without being sold (yeah only like 10 S2 are in Dominican Republic)...so maybe that have something to do...or that i went with a 3inch midpipe and cat-back, wich normally its too much for a NA car without a lot of HP...
and the conditions between dynos were very similar ...(hot as hell is the usual weather over here, time of the day was almost the same too)

Dude really?
Brand new in 2005 (completely stock) with only 10,000 km's on the odometer my car dyno'd only 177
We're hijacking the thread but meh ... it's a worthless thread anyways
So .... time warp back ... 2004 - 2006 and your new RX8 is on the dyno and gets 175 hp.
Knowing what you know today, would you think something is wrong?
Mmmmmm personally ... I would think that is right in line ... of course different dyno's yaddie yadda...
Just doing some mental "what if" pushups

I have watched a couple of dyno days and most of the stock guys were over 180WHP, I'd say between 182-185WHP. If this guy put down 171WHP then I would say 10-11WHP is a significant loss of power. At least to me it would be on a stock NA car.

Catchme if you can
I am partial to Injen and they have many types. There is the cold air one which is the model 6080sw or like the revi which model is 6080p. I personally have the 6080P and I have noticed significant difference especially in my throttle response. Not to mention it has the MR technology and an easy mount for the Mass air flow sensor. Just my opinion.
