went for it
I am getting mine within the next 2 weeks. I am in Canada and they had to order it from the US.
Cost for me will be around CDN$800. Pretty pricy, but i want to keep my warranty which i would lose if I go with other options.

Careful, if water is ingested into the engine, you will not be covered.

Here is more info in our Canada thread. We got this as a promo for all 06'-07' purchases. Mine was free and I love it.
My car is automatic and the CAI makes it sound like a standard but better. The sound comes from the front and not the back. Kind of like a race car.

What I have been trying to track down(and maybe someone here can chime in-) when it IS raining my exhaust notes are PERFECT. The pitch drops quite a bit.. I'm guessing the water cools off the exhaust and midpipe, but I'm not sure. I'd love to replicate that sound on a daily basis. Any ideas?

I had this CAI before and it actually robbed me of torque. It's pretty much just a sound mod imo. I'm back to stock now because I didn't feel it was worth keeping. Installation was quite easy though as I would never pay anyone to install this mod.
If you want a louder intake sound, it's a decent CAI. If you want it for power, I'd suggest a high flow cat instead.

I just had the Mazdaspeed CAI installed on my '07 6spd RX8 and it's great! I went in knowing that it wasnt going to give me some substantial boost in HP or anything like that, but for the other aswpects of it. Throttle response does seem much better, and it seems to me like takeoffs are smoother and require less gas with the same clutch action. Sound wise, you'll hear a difference anytime you give it a good amount of gas....really around 3500 rpm and up.
