Ya, they know they have ya by the short hairs. Those are the only ones that wont void the warrenty. (pissed)
a truely well designed stainless steel exhaust form Mazda is pretty cheap at 1500$ imo. Its done for this specific car and should give better results over many (prolly not all caus some are developping for really high boost and upgraded turbo) aftermarket one and it wont void the warrenty. It wont hit or rub anywhere and will be direct replacement (no need to do any fittement wich i never saw on any aftermarket exhaust). I will be willing to get it at any price under 1700 CAD. Lets hope it will come out under that price tough so we can buy some other goodies

Tell that to Street Unit since they're offering to accept your preorder at $77 off the retail price of $1534 for the exhaust and at $41 off of $819 for the CAI.

Definitely not a 1-2 hp gain. CP-E got about 15whp with their CAI and I imagine the MS-CAI is about the same. Since CP-E charges about $350, you're paying $450 plus dealer installation for including the MS-CAI part of the warranty.

Yes I'm sure its 800 yen, which is like $6.5close561 said:
Not sure about the reliability of this article, but it sounds more like the upgrade they will be offering is $2000 and includes:
1. Cat-back exhaust
2. CAI
3. Coilover suspension
4. Lightweight aluminum wheels with 245/45 tires.
So this supposedly brings output to 298hp and 310 lb-ft of torque.

The increase in power output was confirmed by another source too but I can't remember which magazine it was and I don't want to quote the wrong one.

Based on recent posts (Order Cp-e Speed3 Intakes Now!! thread), I predict you will be correct. Except there won't be any Blue warranty code. Only the Green, which is what has been offered previously for other models. This takes it out of the "news" category and into the "Is there really any benefit to going with Mazdaspeed parts instead of aftermarket?" category. The answer as always is a big fat maybe, maybe not.
it proly wil be better since the parts are mazda...it SHOULDNt mess the car up and i gues they cant prove the part messed it up..its their part..if it was a atermarket they would say o its because that is not MAzda part...just a guess but ud proly have better chance geting dealer fixes with mazda partsdesperado-c said:
