hmmmm Save $300 or let some crazies rip into my 8 at 9000 rpm's while they test a dozen pipe designs.....No thank you.
Now if they paired it with an exhaust and my 8 was broken in then i'd prolly do it. Hell that's like $1k+ of free tuned equipment.

Link for intake mod
I have gotten quite a few private messages after this thread http://www.rx8forum.com/showthread.p...threadid=10409 for information where I got my intake pipe from. It is high quality and really makes the car come alive.

Did anyone buy any aftermarket air-filters yet?
Just wondering if anybody bought any aftermarket air-filters yet. I know they are relatively new, but so far the choices seem to be the Thunder, Rotary Extreme, and the Protech. Nothing heard but good things from them all, too bad my car can only fit one!:p
Just wondering if anybody else other than the proto-type guys buy any and how do they like them!

What is so bad about pulling the bumper off?
You are gonna do it with a lot of other CAI intakes that actually free up restrictions that allow the engine to produce more power!

Send K&N a request for filter replacment (Link)
For the people that don't want to get an aftermarket air intake but want a little better performance. K&N has this request page for parts. They said in an email they sent me that there isn't a replacment filter in the works but if I feel like making a request to go here. Lets flood them with requests so they will get moving...

I did that weeks ago. I guess it wouldn't hurt to do it again.

DIY Intake
Heres a 30 dollar option but I didn't like it really. I think the factory box does a better job of sucking air into the engine and I felt like this was just way too hot. Techies please just let me be. It was a good attempt I thought. Ah well, I'm back to stock now. The sound was awesome when the engine was under heavy acceleration.
