Looks kinda cool. Too bad I have a 93 Rx-7 and they only offer it for the 01-05 Rx-7s.

The one on their website is actually for the RX-8. My buddy had one on his before he sold the car. It was very nice (carbon heat shield) and sounded great, but the filter was of unknown quality. Didn't make a difference though performance wise.

Ducting is ducting is ducting. Not all the same, but the general idea is what you're after.

I wouldn't put much stock in Avantgarde and their products. They are a foreign company (based in Singapore), but they are the same as any other US based APC-esque company.

Especially since they produce products similar to the stuff you see in infomercials.
Remember the spiralflow informercial?
Look at this.

Their oil caps look exactly like a rebadged Ebay unit. Ones that copy off of the original GReddy/Blitz/other oil caps. Look at the one for the "Ford" Look familiar?

Stainless steel "styling" hose. Damn...I still see this stuff at Pep Boys.

WTF is this thing?
