what you are looking for

I installed this on my '07 Mazda rx8 AT and it makes a huge difference in performance, not to mention you get that stick rice burner sound that most people are looking for. And it's CA approved with the appropriate carburetor number. Well worth the money, and it takes about 20 minutes to install, which is good news.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Updates

2 people make assembly easier CAI

noticeable difference in acceleration. Assembly requires two people to attach gaskets, inlet pipe and filter housing. TRANSPORT by hand. You'll need a vacuum line from the parts store, and K&N should supply it for over $300. You'll also need to reuse the stock MAF screen, again for $300 + K&N should supply it. It is not necessary to tune and supplement the exhaust performance. Anyone with a tool box and garage can install it. Just note that for vacuum tubes you go to the parts store. It is…

  • nice thing

Good sound! via filter

After much deliberation I ordered a K&N Typhoon Air Intake for my 2005 RX8. I chose this one because of the ease of installation and the sound profile. I found the installation a bit tedious, but my biggest problem was getting the stock airbox out. When I finally got everything assembled and installed I have to say I LOVE the deeper, grittier sound it gives the car! It's fairly loud at WOT or even when just cruising at 60% or more, but it's also quieter at factory levels when just cruising…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Updates available

Great reception! for spare parts

I bought it for my Mazda RX-8 in 2004 and there are no complaints. Installation was easy. All you really need is a ratchet, screwdriver and Allen key. It took about 15 minutes to assemble the inlet, then another 15 minutes to install it. After installing it, I tested it around the block and loved it. The inlet emits a nice loud but deep growl. It can stay quiet at around 2000 rpm, but once you start revving to around 3000+ the intake really shines. I immediately fell in love with the reception.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • There are nuances

Easy to install, sounds great. Better MPG

I bought this for my RX-8 mainly for the sound. I like the sound this air intake gives the RX-8. After having it for about 6 months I still couldn't be happier. Installation was easy and very easy. If you've worked on a car before, you shouldn't have any problems. It looks fantastic and just sounds fantastic. In terms of power gain, I don't notice much of a difference at lower rpm, but once you hit 4-5k rpm I definitely feel like there's more power. I would like to mention one thing. What I…

  • cool product

Nothing beats the free breathing of the RX8!

Bought a K&N cold air intake for my 2004 Mazda Rx8 (AUTO). What can I say? I love this product. The cold air intake is not difficult to install, you need a ratchet, screwdriver, pliers, that's all. Took me about 60 minutes to install, another half hour to road test and double check everything. Overall, the cool air intake definitely adds a bit of low-end appeal, and the car is a bit sharper on track, but I'm not really trying to win. Racing, I just love the sound of a free breathing engine. K&N

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
