Cold Air Intake

[Dinas 3]

I am new to the site and would like to start off with sayin' (hi). I would also like to do my very first performance mod with a CAI. When I did a search on the web, I found them from $26.00 - $240.00. I don't need the best but I don't want to buy junk. Will I need a MAF sensor adapter for a 2004 2.3"

I recently bought an AEM CAI, and LOVE it. I got a 2006 so I don't know if it will be different, but I doubt by much.

I bought from these guys.

It took me a while to install it, being my first mod. Some suggestions are, make sure you got 10mm wrenches, phillips screwdriver. You will need to jack up the car and remove the front driver wheel. Also, there is a Barometric Pressure Sensor that the instructions will say is on the factory air intake, if it isn't there, then do not worry about it. I spent an hour looking for the damn thing, then called mazda and they said it is on the engine wall or something. Anways have fun, get a good CAI from AEM, Injen, or K&N imo.
