I love the hissing sound but I have the MS CAI so it seems that the SRI is too close and must be louder. With the filter down low I only hear is most with the window down being that its placed low to the street and on the driver side.
I still dont agree with a SRI in an open engine bay as being good so good to hear you sold it. At the very least when I had my Super Charged Tacoma K&N made a SRI but also sold a heat shield that closed off that area to deflect some heat. It wasnt perfect but it was better then just sitting there in the open.

Does it not makes sense that if the filter is right up in the engine bay and near the fire wall that you will hear it more then a CAI that is down in front of the left front wheel?
Other that my other comments which I still dont agree that a filter located in the hottest part of the car is better or not worse I dont see what you are getting.
Makes perfect sense to me but then again I understand that when some people get a product they for some reason have to become a cheerleader for it and must deffend it at all costs despite logical reasoning telling you its a inferior idea.

Your statements absolutely hold no merit whatsoever in regards to intakes on the MS3. What you call "logical reasoning" doesn't mean dick as far as SRI and CAI intakes in the MS3 are concerned. Several members have already proven that there isn't a benefit to having a CAI over a SRI in the MS3. What can I say? I'm sorry you wasted your money on a CAI when you could've gotten a Cobb SRI for a lot less, spent less time installing, cleaning, and got the same benefit of 15-25 extra whp. If you're so hell bent on your "logical reasoning" how about proving your point? I for one have done my own personal test and I can tell you that a CAI is in no way shape or form superior to a SRI in this car.

Except people like you that b**** and whine to the dealer when they void you warranty for after market s***, lol. So much for all that retarded talk about the blah blah Monsson act, hehehe. Seems like many of you got shown the back of the hand by the dealer and I think its hilarious and will be deserved when you chew up a MAF.
Sorry man but I have no idea why you could ever imagine turbo heat being directly fed into your SRI as being a good thing. Pretty much what you added was a cheezy ass way of being able to hear the blow off valve as if you had a real CAI at the expense of a few saved bucks and sucking hot air. Dyno a car with the hood open and a big ass fan over it then yeah no difference. Shut the hood and drive down the road where there is no cool air any where near that SRI and you are nuts to think it is better or "pulls on MS3's with a CAI" I read that s*** from your other posts and got a good laugh.
I cant hardly touch the CAI pipe near the engine bay after a regular drive putting around town so sticking a filter right there makes a lot of sense to me.

You're either joking or you're really ignorant.
Netting a + 11 lb. ft. and + 16 HP, ( Mustang Dyno @ high elevation) the COBB Tuning SF Intake for the Mazdaspeed 3 utilizes a custom CFD design to maintain optimal flow and generate ideal performance. The OEM MazdaSpeed 3 airbox is the most restrictive stock intake we have seen to date. Simply replacing it with the COBB Intake will allow your MazdaSpeed3 safe and consistent power gains!
The custom conical cloth filter feeds filtered air directly to the engine, while maintaining optimal intake velocity and minimizing turbulence found with many aftermarket intake systems.
The Cobb SF Intake system for the Mazdaspeed 3 utilizes several unique features in an effort to maintain optimal flow for performance while minimizing turbulence that can cause engine management problems. From a custom conical cloth air-filter element, Cobb uses a CFD-designed velocity stack leading to an unique air flow straightener grid. This straightener grid is specifically designed to smooth the incoming air flow as it passes the Mass Air Flow sensor for precise readings. This eliminates the "dead spots" that can be experienced by poorly designed aftermarket intakes due to turbulence. NO other aftermarket MazdaSpeed 3 intake system utilizes all of these critical design elements.
In order to provide a system that looks as good on the outside as the technical advancements happening on the inside, Cobb utilizes a one piece design constructed from a high temperature plastic composite. The plastic composite material offers heat rejection properties that help keep intake air temperatures cooler. In contrast, intake systems constructed using metal castings or piping can actually retain underhood heat and in turn heat the incoming air.

I think you are just too much of a cheerleader for a product that sucks and wont face reality.
Then again based on your other retarded irresponsible posts about speeding all over the public streets you are a young dumb ass waiting for something well deserved to happen to you.
LOL, I bet they would post anything bad about their own product right?
No mention to the air taken in being hot as hell. Who cares about the space age composites tubes when the air drawn in is engine bay air that is stagnant at best.

I've never issued post about speeding all over public streets.
You're just having a hard time facing the facts, hence why you are resorting to "insults" on my personal character.

whitey4311, do you have any idea how well metal transfers heat?
That CAI still runs through your hot engine bay, the heat from the motor finds its way to the CAI piping and transfers to your cold air passing through. Your cold air is not so cold, anymore. Im not saying that sucking in hot air at the source is a good idea, but to claim the CAI is leaps and bounds more efficient than the SRI is rediculous. the silicone piping of the SRI is an insulator and will keep the entering air intake temps a lot more steady.
What would be great, is a steel mush reinforced silicone CAI. That would keep the charge cold from start to finish.
When it boils down to it, the cost is not justified by the extra WHP gained by the CAI.
How is he going to chew up his MAF? It seems that with CAI being much lower to the ground, it may pick up more dirt/dust/debris, and airfilters are not perfect. You just may be the one with the dirty MAF! Highly unlikely, but again, there are always 2 sides to the story. I have never had a MAF problem because of the oil on a filter. If you hose the thing, then it may happen, if you do it corectly, you have nothing to worry about.
You sir, seem to be on the defense about the product you bought.

Take a look at the potenza thread numb nuts. You talk about squealing around turns and practicing launching on public streets. Not to mention you start in with personal character attacks as me being "ignorant". You must have short term memory or more stupid then I figured you for.

Have fun dummy and learn to research before you read a Manufactures BS scientific nonsense about how good their product is.

I am going to pick up more debris from the ground? Now that is funny especially when you consider that there is a full plastic shield under the car and that a filter actually filters debris hence its name.
I just dont get the logic you guys are using but it sure the heck doesnt make a lot of sense to me nor multiple internet tests that can be searched easily.
Im not saying its certain you will pick up debris, the point I was trying to make, is that you are making claims that are highly unlikely, and if you wanted to play that game, I can play along, too.
Quite posting useless off topic garbage, your post with those links has nothing to do with the MS3 SRI.
If you wnt to spend $100+ on CAI over the SRI for a few WHP, go ahead.
Looks like we have an internet tough guy on our hands.
