Rs-akimoto Intake
does anyone have this intake in their sc400 or do you guys know anyone that does??? how does it compare to the rod millen intake? or is the best route to go with the MAF w/ an aftermarket filter?? still debating this intake question........... thanks!

$305 from Stillen.

Search through and find Intake. Racing Sports Akimoto Intake $305!!!
I thought about buying one but than I read that intake does nothing for the performance so I scratch that idea. Spending $305 part only for just the look inside the Engine bay plus louder sound is not worth the money IMO.

Is Racing Sports Akimoto still out there? If they do, what's their Website address?
Also, I had RS Akimoto intake kit for '93 RX-7 and my experience was not a good one.

Ive seen theat listing on their ( stillens) site before... I really dont think its out there. I just called the main office and the rep is calling me back in the morining (you would think that he'd know right away) so I'll post again around 10 am to let you guys know.
But from what I understand there was a Lexus owner that wanted to have one made and said that he had droped off his car to have it done....Really not worth the money to have tooling set-up to make it for one car....but hey, his money.
I dont think it really happened tho.
I'll keep u guys posted.

I've heard reports from people that it just makes noise, and loses power. I would agree with that, since its main source of air is the post-radiator air. I don't think intakes help much till the car is using a bigger MAF.
