Im not takin $hit off when I go to my dealer (lick) . Theres nothing they can hassle you about, not like I deleted the MAF or had to hack away stuff to make it fit. I truely beleive that my dealer wont even notice it, which is sad. I still havent gotten it though, got some emails about its shipment, so Im waiting patiently. (friday)

My intake arrived today. I also ordered a dry flow filter from protege garage, but it's not here yet. I'll post pics and a review when i install it (friday, most likely).

Dosent it say in the manual if you use any other filter than an Injen brand filter it will void the warranty on the intake? I laughed at that but some may take it seriously....
Im pissed I still havent gotten mine.... Ill probably get it tomorrow because Im goin with my buddy to maryland to swap out his Rabbit front with a Gti and then go to a dubfest on sat... Basically meaning Ill get it when I cant put it on

Finally someone sees the light!
After you factor in the cost of what you are not getting on the Injen system compared to the MS CAI its not worth it by a long shot.

Noted! I just read about the Injen and the entire install instructions. I was actually trying to prove a point that in reality, your saving nothing.
Here's the deal, The Injen does not come with the Dryflow filter, the instructions require you to remove the OEM splash shield and it does not get reinstalled. So you get the intake, old school filter and installation hardware.
The Mazdaspeed3 CAI comes with the Dryflow filter, an aluminum filter shield/guard, hardware and cleaning/treatment products for the filter.
Hmmm, so $250 you can get the Injen, then add $40 - $50 for a Dryflow, ~$10 - $15 for the filter treatment kit and your at ~$310 not to mention no splash shield. That's the same price you can purchase the MS CAI for not to mention the piece of mind when you have your car serviced.
Just my thoughts and in no way fashion or form am I saying the Injen is a bad product, because I know there not. If it included a Dryflow filter it may be worth considering however, dollar for dollar your really not saving anything. Those who think the included filter will be fine may want to think twice. These new MAF sensors on cars today are EXTREMELY touchy and the slightest oil on them will trigger a CEL.

Got mine installed, with a dry flow.
It sounds AMAZING. My roomy with a stock Evo is jealous of the sound. It pulls really hard, i'm so happy with it!

I bought the intake in the Group buy, for $199.. and the dry flow filter was $40.
I dont know if they all sound the same, ive never hear another Mazdaspeed with an intake. I assume they do, since theyre all about the same design. But it sounds great. Anyone thinking about blowing their money on a BOV needs to hear an MS3 with an intake first, you really get to hear the spooling/blow off noises.
