Ebay AFM Adapter vs. HKS Adapter
Is there any advantage of the HKS adapter at $25 plus or does the ebay one for $11 work just as well? I did a search on this but didnt come up with any real answer. I personally dont think it will make much of a difference being it is a small part that isnt going to be taking any abuse or anything. I also do understand that i will need to make a CAI box to seal off my cone filter from the heat of the engine bay.

another option is the K&N kit.. which is a HUGE adapter plate with a mini venturi design to fit a huge filter. Will it be better? no say.. but K&N wont release a FIPK kit if it doesnt net a hp gain. but seeing your considering an ebay adapter, i doubt your gonna want to spend the money on it.
Some ebay adapters though might be plastic...

Whoa.... HKS adapter and a Mariah Cold Air box? That sounds like the best way to spend a lot of money for nothing. I'm sorry if I sound rude, but I think a "cold air intake" is a semi-worthless mod. The biggest benefit of ditching the stock intake is that the stocker is somewhat restrictive. I have my air filter right on my turbo's compressor housing, sucking in hot-*** air that just went through the radiator. My intercooler keeps my intake temps between 37-50c depending on outside air temp. For how much the HKS and Mariah will cost, you could probably buy a great intercooler that will do you a lot more good.
Is this a turbo or NA car anyways? I guess I hadn't considered that at first. If it is NA, then this is an even worse waste of money. Unfortunately, NA RX-7's are not fast. You could spend that cash on a turbo engine, or even suspension mods that will make your car faster on the track than a "cold air intake"
