Looking for an RX8 to test fit a CAI in SoCal area

Hey guys,

I have a K&N replica RX8 CAI that I need to take pics of installed on the car. If you like the product you get to keep it for a small fee. Please contact me with any questions you might have. Pics of the intake are below;

Thanks,
Anatoly

This would be better with a different filter. Try the one Atilla and SE3P uses. lol

^^ i would assume the problem isn't exactly the filter of the aftermarket itself... but the fact that the velocity stack "screen" on the original piece isn't there on the aftermarket pieces. this may be some source of idling issues... but of course, applications may DIFFER. thats all i'm saying... can't knock on it if i haven't tried it, right?

sure someone with more experience of the aftermarket pieces can chime in with some info.

but all in the market for aftermarket performance...should keep in mind that its for performance. and NOT as a replacement piece... so if using for racing purposes, one should be prepared to sacrifice for the gain of another.

c.a.r.b. approved or not, this should be a great deal for those seeking performance on a budget... just be careful not to get caught. uuhhhh, i mean off road use only. hehe

i'm sure more than a few will be interested in ur intake anatoly. at that price, its worth the $ for an extra piece to use at the track.

dude, no offense but, SE3P (John)'s intake is far better than K&N, try that out

besides, K&N intake itself aint even that good, (I hate it personally) so yea

I like SE3P & Atilla's custom intake it's better & in price too....
Maybe if they had a cover lid for the K&N cai just like the one on the hks I would be
