Are there any SRI/CAI for MSP that aren't so expensive?

I been searching and can't find any SRI/CAI that are made for the MSP that aren't Fujita,Injen,AEM,WeaponR. Is there any cheap SRI/CAI for MSP? Hp gain are all about the same right?

make one..other then that no real cheap intakes...

Pay the piper or make one as was already said , Mazda and performance together mean expensive . Not alot of people are modding Mazdas compared to other cars ,the companies have to recoupe their R&D costs somehow and we pay the price

you could just remove the air box and put a filter there. That was my first mod the day I picked up the car.

You do realize all you'll gain is sound, right?

I couldn't notice the diff. over stock, and I was modded when I added mine.

 

[orng1]

I can't say I gained anything either.

yeah the intake is really just engine bay eye candy... the only gains you'll get is the sweet sucking sound and enhanced turkey noise from the BPV. Just add a K&N to the stock set up and you'll get the same performance gains

you can do a dIY for about 50$ but..... thats CAI... But... it gets heat soak quick... well 45 min driving quick... so thats why when my car is running.. lol its not on.. but if your interested ill tell you how and what to get...

I check on ebay and they always have intakes for protege not the speed. IF I were to just add a filter do I just connect the MAF to the filter? What about the Air Temperature Sensor?

like is adi. let me know ill tell you(cool)

I have some 3" IC pipes. Is there a way to make a CAI without moving the coolant reserve? What is your process for DIY?

Use a 90* bend straight off the turbo. Turn the tube so it bends down, attached some sort of bracked to the intercooler/radiator support and
you're done. You could probably have an exhaust shop do it for less than 100.

On the other hand there was a company called Spool that made a CAI for the msp. Connects to the maf and through the fender....got mine used for 100.

FYI.
Dyno proven to lose power as the fans blow hot air into the filter.

Not true newb, especially w/ boosted cars.

If you can't afford an intake system, then don't bother touching the engine. Get a K&N filter and call it a day. May get 1 or 2 more horsepower. Cold air intakes on the otherhand depending on the engine(meaning not just mazdas) will give you 5 to 20 hp. And if your wondering what gives you 20, its a Ford Mustang 5.0.

PCV pipe if your feeling cheap and squirrely.

Your not going to "feel" a 5hp difference, so people that say "they dont feel anything" are right b/c u shouldn't.
