Before anyone starts flaming me, i did search.... and unfortunately i dont have 22hrs of my day to spend scanning threads.
So that being said.

I'm looking for a bumper intake duct, ive seen one or two on here, but i cant seem to find them online, are you guys using the ones for the z33? seems to be all i can find. I really think something like that can really compliment my K&N series II intake with bringing in some cooler more fresh air.

Anyway, any input would be nice, thanks.

people have modified the Z intake to work on the RX8.

Try the Racing Beat Cold Air Duct.

laythor

he's looking for the one where you actually cut into the top of the nose i believe. that would be the Z intake

Yes, i am talking about the one that actually goes in the nose of the bumper, id like to know how much trouble it is to modify the z one for our cars, like i said, ive seen someone here with one, if you know who that is, thatd be great, so i can ask.

Yes, the racing beat duct is a great system, but, unfortunately it doesnt cost only $30, and yes, maybe i do actually like the nose mount one, maybe others dont like the way it looks, but i think it looks good AND serves a functional purpose. And as much as i know that rb put a lot of research and time into the REVi duct, i think that a more direct flow to the intake would function better at idle or very low speeds (might not make sense if youve seen the gen II intake) since i plan on building some type of better enclosed box around the filter area, less bends = easier air draw at extremely low suction, i.e. idle or very low speed.

for the most part, thats it. but ive seen them online in urethane/plastic, ect... for about $30-$50, they just all list as z33, but im comparing the pics, and honestly, they look exactly the same.

thanks fro pointing that out though, never saw that

Leg Motor Sport. The air goes through the Mazda emblem. When the bumper is installed you can not really tell it is there. The other version looks like an after thought and does not flow with the lines of the RX8.

hmmm, thats kinda... interesting, sorta reminds me of an SLR's intake, things prolly expensive out the *** though, it IS cool, but i still think the square opening looks nice

the emblem way is pretty clever, I think that looks better than the random black duct in the middle of the bumper.

is that the buddyclub front? if so, do you know if you can attach the OEM fog lights to it?

The rectangle cut just does not flow with the lines of the car. Looks worse with the Mazda emblem on the bumper and creates an unbalanced look.

it is indeed. and im sure you could find a way to attach oem fogs to it. but not in a way that would look good.

i took the fogs off my car the first time i had to remove the bumper cover. i dont like them on rx8s. so it doesnt make a difference to me. but there are many aftermarket fogs that would suit the buddy club front end very well.

u are right it doesn't flow with the lines
