cold air intake

what are you looking for?

I think that it all depends on what you are looking for...

If it's only sound of an intake, then YES, it would be gay to spend all that money on a CAI.

If it's performance, then not, since you would hear it, but you would also feel slightly more power in the top end, as well as better throttle response throughout the rpm range.

Eseentially, it's up to you. Don't think you'll gain BIG HP, specially on an auto. You'll probaly get around 8-10 HP if you're lucky.

Anyhow, I drive an auto as well, and I've got all kinds of things planned out for it, including SRI and full exhaust, so would you consider that gay?
 
Nope! Not gay at all. It'll give you a bit of high-end "oomph".
...I don't know about 8-10 HP, though.

i dont mean to offend anybody. i just dont want to be made fun of for modifying an automatic. any preformance increase would be welcomed and if it looked kew that'd be good too
 
i just got an injen intake on my auto P5 and i like it alot....it gives off a lil sound and i feel a lil more power but not much.....eventually in gonna put on a new header and exaust that should help out a lil....but i say go and buy it man....u wont be disapointed and its not gay!
 
I got an ebay type intake and a mazdaspeed exhaust on my auto p5 and I love the sound, and you can feel the slight power increase in higher rpm range. Not gay at all, go for it!

no its not hard at all..me ad 2 buddies installed mine in about 20-30 min...if u need help ill be here to tell ya anything i know or that can help
 
If you are just looking for a Short Ram intake, go Ebay. About 50 bucks can get you one.

CAI intakes think the cheapest I've seen was about 189-239 at times.
Protege5online is decent

There maybe other places hidden around the internet.

It takes about 15minutes to do, simplest install you will ever do.

And no nothing wrong with autos. For AutoX, Yes a manual would be nicer.
But in drag racing a auto is normally perfered over manuals.

*puts on flame suit*

It was a joke man ;) ... but what i do this is gay, is this thread; why would a CAI be "cool" on a manual but "gay" on an auto, who really cares, its your car if you want a CAI get it... REMillers is right, auto's are better for drag racing than manuals, i get so pissed off when people say a car is slow just because it has a automatic.... You don't know how many times people have told me I will win a race simply because i have a manual, morons.
 
dang. i like autox way more than drag racing. drag racing is gay!

damn i love using the word gay. it works for almost everything
 
Well do you have the sport shift auto?? If so it will work pretty darn close in autoxing.
Auto won't be bad per-say in AutoX but you will have to adapt to using the brakes more and trying to keep the auto in correct gear. But it can still be fun, just don't expect to beat some manuals.


I could get a sound clip, have to dig out my recorder. Have it on video but don't have the adapter to transfer them with me. Though some other members do have sounds, but will have to hunt to find them.
