Steph,
Does this IC mount in the stock location or are these modifications required?

 

[SpicyMSP]

who are you?? Did I meet you last night? It mounts in the stock location. There is also a frount mount coming out in the future too. are you on AIM?

 

[rahrcr]

[Glowmunkey]

Alright, so what the hell is it? It's not mazdaspeed? Some guy mentioned it being warrantied, is he on crack? Is it just some intercooler by protosport, like any other aftermarket intercooler? Why not run an FMIC and get more gains? I'm confused .

Its going to be a Protosport Product. Please keep a eye on our website for details.

Protosport.net

I will update this forum when I have it. But everything will be picking up, products wise after SEMA.

 

[Charlie97L]

to my understanding, it's not warrantied, it's made by protosport... however, it being in the stock location, it may not be noticed to be aftermarket. i dunno, that's a good question.

 

[mazdaowner123]

I see. So the reason one might opt for this over the stock IC is the "stealth" factor, especially in warranty issues? What'll the power gains be compared to a FMIC?

[SpicyMSP]

working on a Stock location IC, and a front mount. Both require no cutting, and no problems have arrised so far in the testing stages. As I said, I will post all updates as I have them.

The advantage of the SMIC is that it's harder to detect. However, that doesn't mean it doesn't function better. The ends are aluminum rather than plastic, the core is about 30% thicker, and the pressure drop is less (I think).

Hello Spicy,

I really like what you are doing with the site and the Mazda community in general.

I really like this intake:

it's much more efficient
it's not cold-air, since it uses the same location as out stock one......well almost the same, the nozle is directed more outward.

CF.....mostly for looks

dropping a K&N filter into stock box will yeld the same results

I dont Know,

but judging by its size in the pic, it looks like it could have a Cone style filter inside. The inlet looks a lot bigger than the 3" callaway elbow we have.

But again, I dont know.

i held it in my hands and spoken to a person who designed it.......
