Your question is very subjective.

The word "better" requires a context, a comparison between two things. For example, "I am better at articulating a question than you"

Answering your question requires us to make assumptions that are more likely to be off the mark than on it.

Do you mean...
Which is better at ease of installation?
Which is better at making installation difficult?
Which is better at ingesting water?
Which is better in asthetics?
Which is better at making it easy to reach components under the intake?
Which is better in terms of reliability?
Which has better construction?
Which produce better peak power?
Which produces better peak torque?
Which produces better power under the curve?
Which produces better torque under the curve?
Which produces better low end torque?
Which produces better high end torque?
Which is better at making loud noises?
Which is better at making noises go away?
Which has a better product fitment?

I was gonna reply until i realized you're a guy and wrote heyy with 2 y's lol

You should search man! They got on me so its only right for me to show you the same love. Rx8's have enough hot air under the hood why would you wanna feed it more? I got rid of my k&n typhoon soon as i discovered this. Cold air is the best bet based on all the knowledge i gained from this site. AEM is great but i went racing beat and ram air duct.

You realize that ram air is INFERIOR to the OEM stock intake? You paid money to give up power.

Read this: http://www.sportrider.com/tech/146_9912_ram/index.html with the knowledge that these motorcycle ram air intakes are fully exposed to all of the possible air flow at the front of the bike, with no obstructions at all. Most did nothing, some only started to have an impact in triple digit speeds, only one had an impact at lower speed (also the only one designed by an aircraft company).

Considering this, what do you think the actual ram air impact of your intake is?

Just stick with OEM. If you want to get minor power boost go with an aftermarket exhaust.

I read incorrectly, i thought he was comparing the aem to k&n short ram. Simple mistake. I purchased the k&n when i didnt know anything at all. I got rid of that crap so fast though....

No need to call anyone idiots just made a mistake.

I bet you're a real winner at life, flaunt that 7inch rx8 club e-***** dude!

we can't all excel at reading comprehension. (or spelling and punctuation for that matter)

For future reference:
1. it's we're, not were
2. Semicolons join independent clauses ... therefore your use of "but" after the semicolon makes absolutely no sense.
3. Commas are fantastic for driving a point across
4. An ellipsis is only 3 dots, not 5
5. Now you are an idiot.

loser at life
You're not the only person that feels this way about creating posts (content) from a phone (mobile device).

I believe this is a poor excuse and pure laziness.

(Generally assumption when I see people using this excuse)
What you are saying in effect is you're to lazy to actually worry about grammar and will use your phone (input device) as a crutch (excuse) and you don't care about anyone else and the difficulties they have reading the post.
Furthermore you're still going to be over sensitive about people critiquing your post (grammar police) even though they have no real way of knowing that the content was created from a device more suited for media consumption than media creation.

edit:
My point is I wish there were fewer posts from mobile devices, as there are many who feel the same as you about posting from a phone.

Well said wcs.


Personally, I don't care what you are posting from, making the decision to use poor grammar and spelling because you are too lazy to care is worse than not actually knowing what poor grammar and spelling actually is. It means that you actively know how to do it, but have absolutely no respect for the people that you want to read what you are saying. It also says that you have no self respect, not caring if your message is interpreted correctly or not.



If you don't care enough to be clear in what you are saying, why should we even bother to read or listen?
