Hi guys,

Im new to this forum so HELLO! and compliments to making a good site,
I was wondering if there was anyone who had a feed intake and if so how they found it sound wise? I currently just have a K&N panel filter and Borla exhaust and I am undecided whether to go for the Feed kit or the Racing Beat revi and ram?

There seems to be loads of info on the racing beat but no real infon on the Feed from someone that has one fitted.

I wondered how much extra sound there is and assuming that there is no real power gain are we certain that there isnt a negative effect?

cheers for any advice guys

Errrmmm.... anybody there?

revi and duct or Feed.......

....any comments would be greatly received.....

 

try youtube and see if there are any videos. im sure feed cant be bad since they are a good company.

 

Hi there type 59,

Thanks a lot for the response mate, I checked You tube and the only one feed induction available and it has a dc sports exhaust (and I have a borla) and I cant really tell much difference tbh.

Heres a couple of pics of my rex and one of the Feed induction.

Has anyone actually got one fitted or know someone that has?

cheers

i wanna see what is in it. looks pretty mystery.

 

I know FEED is a good company, but I would have more respect is that wasnt a Carbon 'look' sticker wrapped around the cone.... try googling Hot Version Rotary Rocket. I have the DVD and it features FEEDs tuned RX8 which sounds really good, but Ive never googled it before.... Good luck

 

Hi There Rotr8,

Cheers for the comments mate, but I do believe that the cone is Carbon Fibre rather than alluminium (or whatever) with a carbon look sticker

From what ive managed to decipher from what little advice ive received from eleswhere is that the sound from the Feed is more throaty and more of a roar than the revi/duct but the revi/duct gives that couple more bhp

thanks

Hi! I have the FEED intake, and that's my vid you found online with the DC sports exhaust If you check out my Curborough vid, you can hear the car under full throttle.
The build quality of the intake is fantastic, quite a few are "universal" and so fit loosely but the FEED intake was spot on

on idle, there's a bit of a deeper burble however not intrusive, when in the 5-9k rev range it sounds like a whale having an orgasm lol

I'd recommend them :D

 

Finally! lol

nice one DY8 thanks for the comments mate much appreciated!

i think i may have to invest as the noise of whales having orgasms have always been a a favourite of mine!
i do think they look good and a few people have said that they sound quite deep and throaty at full throttle.

thanks again

 

dy8 can you comment about the carbon fiber if its real or just look?

 

just by looking at that picture of the FEED intake, I'd recommend you buy the Racing Beat intake + ram air duct

 

I'll take a look this afternoon and let you know

 

sweeeettt thx man

This Picture doesn't convince or negate CF either,,, but stickers deffinately look like the pic you posted, the weave is too stretched and doesnt have any depth. Also the geometry of the lip at the connection side looks to have extreme tight tolerances. CF fillets are hard to get any tighter than 3/8 or 1/4"... I'm not convinced that FEED would make two designs and sell them for the same price. Im jsut trying to look out for ya...I could be wrong though,,,If your only concern is the sound and the performance FEED is one of the best, but if CF is a priority reconsider

 

kind of looks polished in those pics. strange

 

Does anyone have a video clip of the FEED intake with a Borla Exhaust?

 

i will put my 2 cents in.. i have the borla with the RB ram air and the modded stock airbox (kinda the same as RB).. and it sounds really mean.. i think you will like it. when i get back to my car in 2 days i will take a little video with my phone.

 

here is FEEDs shop car(mind you its not goin to have Borla Exhaust)
Touge Battle NA300 to challenge the Amuse S2000(FEEDs Rx8 looses against it)
but the FEED sounds great regardless.....

^I don't know japanese, but it looked like the rx8 came in first...?
