MS3 Mod List (Link, Prices, Specs,etc) - A Work in Progress

[trees_house]

I've read a lot about what you all have contributed so far, and I have been overwhelmed by the amount of information. I have spent a couple of hours stockpiling information in which I have been interested: mainly intake, exhaust, suspension and EMS. My goal is to try and make it easier for myself--and others--to piece together their best mod combination, whether it's based on price, performance, brand or some combination therein. I tried to collect all the information I could find, but I know there are manufacturers, prices, links, dynos, etc that I haven't found. I will try to use other dynos from other posts and scrounge some more on the manufacturer's sites to round out the performance statistics. Apologies since most of this has been posted before (I have merely collected and collated)!

Based on information from forum postings and manufacturer's claims in their websites.

+1 Great job!

 

[mrlilguy157]

you're a beast. awesome info.

 

[2 DIZZY]

Thanks for the info helps me budget for a few mods

 

[mazpro]

free bump for a great write-up!

 

[MS3077]

I'm not sure about the CAI numbers.. I seriously doubt they're putting alot a hell of a lot more than the CObb sri. This makes me believe that this info is crap at most

 

[GhostMercury]

you should separate them into categories with titles

 

[drledford93]

Great compilation! Thanks for the hard work. It's really appreciated.

Ok, so looking at this got me thinking. For those of us not wishing to go to debtor's prison over our car, what is the biggest bang for the buck on suspension mods? I know all about suspension technology, but I'm not sure where to start on this car. It's good out of the box, but can stand some improvement. Looks really don't count for much with me.

Thanks!

Daniel

based on what?

 

[Kobyoshi]

Sticky vote!

Awesome job!

 

[MS3077]

based on what?

Because I've raced "legally" ppl with the MS CAI and it's either dead even or me pulling ahead slightly. I have the Cobb SRI.

So.. This has me believe the #'s for the Intakes are pretty much crap unless they where all done on the same dyno. Understood now?

 

[GoFast]

while i don't agree with your conclusions and tests used, i now understand what you are basing your opinion off of

 

[GhostMercury]

yea ms cai number are at the crank. cobb is at the wheels

 

[RXMmazdaspeed]

definitely sticky this, thanks for the hard work.

 

[trees_house]

The numbers I posted are based off of the manufacturer's claims. We all probably know that accounting for all the different dynos and other variables (temperature, altitude, fans, gear, shop, etc) are going to give varied results. No dyno is definitive right? It's healthy to be wary of manufacturer's claims too.
