Cold Air intake?

[dim3314]

I saw this cold air intake on ebay:

and i take it that it supposively pushes 20 WHP and 30 ft/lbs of torque. Is this legit for a mazdaspeed 3? is that even possible for an intake to give it that much hp?

For this car with the issues people have had with air flow straighteners and lean conditions, I would suggest going legit instead of with an ebay company. Someone on here was selling a mazdaspeed cai for $200 I think. Find them.

Do they add that much power? Depends on the dyno. Looks on the high side but its within the ballpark.

I was at the mazda dealer and they were selling their factory mazdaspeed cold air intake, do you think that can give my ms3 a good boost?

if you buy it from the dealer... it will cost you A LOT more than what you can get it on the web for.

most legit CAI's are going to give you similar gains, there's plenty of threads with pros and cons on the different ones. i personally own the mazdaspeed intake and yes it does help open the car up a bit

yes it's possible. with the intake that i have, i gained those numbers at 3200 rpm. you can search the site or paypal $10 to my email address and i'll pm you my dyno
