Some pictures of the Revi intake and ram air duct that I took while doing the install...

The instructions that ship with the Revi are very detailed, and are easy to follow.

This is what your engine bay will look like once you remove all the stock intake components:




OEM intake parts...




Revi:






Ram air duct:




Finished product, under the hood:




You can hear what this sounds like on my car here:

The gains with this unit are somewhere around 3 whp. Not enough to feel, but the car will breath a lot better. Also the ram air duct will see gains when you're over 60 mph, something a dyno cannot give you power numbers on.

Without a doubt this is one of the top 3 intakes available for the RX-8. The only drawback is that it's not going to be usable down the road if you get a supercharger or turbocharger. Not a flaw with the intake, this applies to virtually all aftermarket intakes for the RX-8

What do you think of installing performance radiator? Would a be a easy while also installing the RB intake? Do you still have the instructions of disassembly?
