i was the one with the aem. its a good intake. not as loud as hks or k&n. but yea. its for a pretty good price. i got mine for about $260
btw, cleaning the filter isn't that hard. i think it may actually be easier than the revi compared to what keith told us. hahah i jus unscrewed the undertray for the front bumper and squeezed it out of there.

 

i have the aem intake also but mine was so loud, the sound meter couldn't read it. it's ws like the loudest out of all the intake there. weird that it's quite on your car

 

Deeddub, did you post the Db readings somewhere, did I miss it, or have you not yet posted them....?

 

Hmm...I thought you had the MazdaSpeed one (I understand that AEM = Mazdaspeed however, the sound level appears to be different).

 

I don't believe they've been posted yet....I'll see if I can get those #'s from him.

 

the meter showed deedubb with the highest peak dB. lol. i wrote down "Loud" for him. haha

 

i have them in my car, but i didn't drive the 8 today..i'll post them up tonight after dinner... =)

 

Interested to see the results, since i wasn't able to stay for the whole event. Thanks.

 

whats interesting was that wing5's car is only 2 decibels quieter than the racing beat catback. And what else is funny is that rotary rasps car is also a couple decibels louder than other racing beat exhausts and he has a racing beat exhaust with stock cat.

 

so who won the Audio Db competition? Yeah if the RB is easier to clean I might go with it. All though I really want more HP

 

I wond the stereo contest. It was REALLY close though, bao's stereo hits pretty hard.

 

You won on looks maybe, I know I was hitting high Db, even with 3 layers of dyno matting I was shaking my car. How many watts is your kicker amp?

 

i say we have another battle again!!

 

My amp tested at 1,488. It's a single channel amp.

 

Any time brother! My amp is actually tuned DOWN quite a bit, gimme some time to crank it up and then we'll have another battle.

 

I am always down for another battle. My amp is 1000w single and turned way down, my sub control is all the way down so one more turn and the subs shut off, my bass is all the way to -12 that is the lowest it would go, and I was hitting as hard as I was. Now I know that you are pushing way over RMS for your W6's after looking at the specs on the JL website. I have the W7 and I am pushing right in the comfort zone. Now if I went and put my old amp to these subs I would be pushing the same wattage your pushing to a sub's that can handle more then yours can. I just wanted to go with a cleaner amp and have the system match. I love your set up though because you can use more trunk space to your advantage. Me I have what I have. They could not do the stealth box set up like yours could. Either way we both have killer systems in our 8's

 

i sat in both cars and I can vouch for both of you, your systems rock my sockx..

 

thanks Jordan!

I think XdeedubbX is now deaf...

 

I wonder just how much we have killed our hearing lol.

 

i think i lost a lot of hearing from sitting behind all the exhausts as well as sitting in jedi's and brgreen's car. what a pain! haha

 

HAha!!! Now imagine what it's like to be in our cars EVERY day.

 

NGO

do you have HKS coil overs or H&R? Next time we dyno I think I will bring softy ear plugs so I dont have a ringing all day after.

 

I so wish I would have known the HP difference between the two, I want more now

 

jordan, i have the hks hipermax RS coilovers. love them.

 

I lost my hearing back in 96 during my old raving days..hahaha
