I made a DIY a while back and posted it up on the 8club and it quickly became a very popular mod so I'm going to post up the same DIY here for those of you that haven't seen it. The original thread that I created is here: http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=130332
Now, people are buying the Racing Beat REVi Intake for an astonishing $336 dollars! You can create your own high flow air intake box with just a simple tool: A Philips screwdriver. Now, there's a lot more discussion on the Air Intake Box itself in this thread: http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=129827
How to remove the airbox you ask? GO HERE (http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=144789)

EDIT: REMEMBER TO RESET YOUR ECU! Some people claim that the idle somehow dropped or is rough. It will go away after about a hundred miles because the ECU needs to adjust to it. If you don't want to drive around like that for a hundred miles, do the ECU reset. This is recommended if you remove both the screens (what most people do).
Resetting procedure can be found HERE (http://www.rx8club.com/showpost.php?p=349432&postcount=3)

Well, the first step is to pull up the airbox (does not have to be detached from all the intake hoses, clamps, and wires).

Then you open it, if you look towards the end of the air intake box, you'll notice two flaps. They look like this:

You'll notice 2 screws holding in 2 walls:
