What mods do you have??

Mods? Why would you want to modify it? It comes from the factory with everything you could ever want.

Note: Check my sigature. (shady)

LOL I probably would have missed that if you did not say that. :)

I wanted a CAI but have to wait...also would like the exhaust, but unsure....would like to hear a Speed 3 with an exhaust to know for sure. I really really want a BOV. :)

If you looking for the BOV sound, getting the CAI will take care of that ;-)


That is what i hear. I had a CAI to buy....but have to wait now. Hopefully someone will buy me one for my Bday. LOL
 
I don't have any mods yet. Still trying to decide which CAI that I want. Plus I am going to be away from my car for 4 months so I decided to wait on doing anything.

good idea. Well the CAI is on back order til July now so that is about 2 months there for you. :) I personally have always stuck with AEM. But since I have the Speed 3 and Mazda makes an intake I think I will go that route. :)
 
I am leaning toward the Mazda intake just because of warranty issues. I think it would be awesome if someone did a test with one car using all of the CAI's to see which one had the most gains. Doubt it would ever happen. But if it did that would be ultra cool!

Hmmm.....I know there are other forums where people have dynoed it. :)

This is a post I found for you!!

the temp, humidity and baro were almost exactly the same as when i had the stock dyno.

they did 4 pulls. 2 pulls wait 5 min then 2 more. runs 1 and 3 were the same hp/tq wise but 2 and 4 were down on hp by about 10 at 267. on all 4 runs the tq was within about 5 ft/lbs.

not as high of hp gains as i thought but the torque more than makes up for it.

+5hp,+36tq

at 3000rpm the hp gain is about 25 and the torque gain is about 53.
 
I have a Mazdaspeed CAI.Not quite a B.O.V. sound but a nice whooshing sound.Good performance upgrade,a must have.

Got my CAI installed yesterday and a 1/4 tank of gas is gone already. :) I love it!!!!
 
Nice. I personally recommend the the TMIC. I have the ETS and I know the Autoexe makes one as well but its $1200 vs. $545. MAJOR improvements all the way around in torque and HP.

I would have probably stopped with that mod if I didn't want 300+ WHP. Good luck.

BTW does any one have the Autoexe Sort Ram intake? It looks like an upgrade over any intakes that I have seen. I was curious on the performance.
 
OK i have to admit the MS CAI is worth the money. for the seat of the pants dyno it feels good. Hadn't really plan on getting it but my buddy (parts Mngr at my local mazda) ordered the intake for me and it was display. he kept asking when i wqas going to buy it since he alredy had 4 dealers inquire to take his for there own customers.
I went ahead and bought it today and installed it.

A must have for the car, though i hope the wife doesn;t notice the swooshing sound right away. she might figure out i modded the car lol.

Later on i might look into the ETS top mount, i know there has to be some HP there as my other turbo car did wonders with a IC upgrade.

Hopefully your wife is not like me.....I can totally tell when the cars have been modded. I can not believe how loud the CAI makes the turbo. 100% agree a MUST HAVE
 
Oh she has a nack for hearing something different, she just can't understand why going faster is better, itry and try to exlain, but its like talking to a brick :D

I love her though, she deals with me lol
