AEM Aftermarket CIA

Great product. Being new to CSR modding I found it easy to install. The instructions were straightforward and I had no problems.

Pros
  • Great range
Cons
  • Frequency

Wrong Size - Ram Air Kit

The hose is usually 3-3.25" but the filter is 4". I can't attach. Of course, none of the clamps fit. Can't get it right at all. Tried to contact but no reply. waste of money

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • No power

Looks good and fairly easy to install

This is a great looking setup once installed. Most of the work is removing the front bumper. The installation took about 4 hours. Intake noise is deep and raspy at high revs (6000rpm+). Not too loud. It feels like it should be complemented with an aftermarket catback.

Pros
  • Sturdy build
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks

simply enthusiastic: filter

simply a great and worthy product. This is a do it yourself installation, the only minor issue I had was removing the bumper, plastic under cover and other materials. Otherwise everything is great and the sound is fantastic, it's almost like a Ferrari when I shift on my rx8. It comes with an installation guide. Highly recommended

Pros
  • many positive emotions
Cons
  • confused

An amazing thing to buy if you are having trouble with yours.

Amazing item to buy if you are having trouble keeping your rx8 idling at very low rpm it can make a world of difference to the car. It's pretty easy to get the red color lighter than expected, but it suits the car well (some parts don't come as packaged, this may cause scratches if you think that's the case).

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Expensive Insurance

Good product. to spare parts

It justifies its price. I went back and forth for a while to get it or not. I ended up ordering it (Revain had the cheapest with free shipping). The facility was a bit sketchy. The instructions aren't the clearest and I guessed some parts. In fact, when it comes to clamps and hoses (rubber connectors), it doesn't really tell you what to use, which is why I assembled them incorrectly. Laugh out loud. Luckily I was able to replace it without taking everything apart. In terms of performance…

Pros
  • Useful not only for its intended purpose
Cons
  • There are disadvantages
