It seems like the average people are paying the MS intake for the speed3 is $300.00 to $310.00 from what i've seen on this site. I paid $310.00 for mine and did the install in a little over an hour. My dealer wanted full retail which is $399.99, and wouldn't price match anyone.

Nope, front bumper stays on, but you do have to take off the lining where the drivers side tire is and the plastic skid plate in the front of the car.

Here's a link to all the warranty info for ya. Scroll down and look at the different color codes for install, the CAI is a green color code.

Ok so today i went to my dealer and they told me that if i dont pay them $180.00 to install it they will void my warrenty. So it looks like i wont be doing the install after all. I wouldnt be so worried about it but with my truck its such a PITA to get anything warrentied on it after what i have done to it lol

bulls***. They're just trying to get you to pay them to install it.
Just find another place to buy the CAI from and you can install it yourself.

IT WILL STILL BE UNDER THE WARRANTY. As long as it works fine and no leaks and problems, they can't void the warranty.

LOL, silly stealership...........


Like i posted before it's a "green" install and the dealership can look it up if they like, this info comes straight for Mazda. Don't let them charge you that kind of money because they want to be dicks.
