I'd rather save my money and buy the turbo I know there are a few more items that need to be added to the kit so it runs at it's best but still 300.00 for 4hp is a little steep.

And I'm coming from someone that has a turbo. There are a lot of extra costs associated with a turbo. Unless you have $5000-$6000 to spend, don't think about it.
If you think about it from a pure $ point of view the exhaust only gives 3 hp for $600 ($200 per hp) :D . But of course we know it is more for sound & looks.

Matt over at www.mazdaparts.com just said that he has 15 units coming in. IF he can get more than 10 he can do a group buy.

maybe if they said, you have to give your first born child, it would stop.
Hey it's cool to sign up for something that's dead.
But just posting:
THE GROUP BUY ON THIS THREAD HAS DIED.
WILL NEVER WORK.
Whatch somebody post with their info just like the last person.
It's only bits, bytes, bauds, and 1's and 0's.

I just installed my REVi intake a few weeks ago. I'm now on my 3rd tank of gas and have seen no real fuel effieciency. Should I see some efficiency? I'm getting about 18.5mpg while driving modestly - not a grandma but not a racer either - daily commutes to the office at 65 - 70. Does the fuel/air mix need to be adjusted at all to realize the efficiency? Thanks, Aric.

Nope, Racing Beat makes no claims of improved MPG on thier site LINK
" Designed to offer performance improvements without sacrificing drivability"
One would think if it help even a little they would say so. So don't feel your missing out on something. Also you would need something like a CanZoomer to make changes to the air/fuel mix and the skill to know what to set it to.

Freedom Costs a Buck o' 5
Maybe I missed something or don't understand the group buy concept, but the proposed offer before getting shot down by RB was $280 per intake. Doesn't RX-8 Store have them listed on their site at $289 per intake already? A $9 discount is kind of trivial.
