What next????

[ajs1056]

OK I got a Speed6 about 2 months ago and love it. I got the CAI put on about 3 weeks after I got the car and love the sound and performance I got from it. My question now is what next? I thought about a Catback system but was told that I really will not get that much of a gain from it. Is this true? What will really give me the best bang for the buck mods wise????

get a boost gauge, boost controller and a fuel cut defender.

hmm... question. Doesn't mazda boast 274hp? Based on the dyno chart, with 15% drivetrain loss... that gives it about 280hp. ony 6hp? Just curious.

The CPE full turbo back will be the way to go as far as exhausts is concerned, right now the downpipe is available at an intro price of $509.

First off.. AWD setup... is supposed to drain a lot more than 15% only... I'm pretty sure 15% is something you'd see on a Front or Rear wheel drive vehicle.....

Granted our AWD setup is only active once the traction control system kicks in...

Anyway... Cat-back exhaust isn't going to show the numbers you want.. for the price you pay... There is a guy somewhere around here who claims to be pullin 300+ hp at the wheels... Or somethin like that... Runs pretty good numbers as well.... like mid - low 13's....

He has an exhaust cut-out which bypasses some of the cats on the vehicle... which is where you gain performance.... gettin rid of those restrictive cats...

Boost guage... is for fun... Boost-controller.... Umm... from what I've read, doesn't work properly with our turbo... I could be wrong about thi.. and I plan on doing more research on this subject soon...


I suggest ordering the Downpipe CPE is offering... you'll see good gains by removing the cats.. and restriction... as well as open up future upgrades like the rest of the exhaust... and ... so on...

Mazda underrated this car guys, also look at the torque numbers, they are a lot higher than advertised. This car has more than 15% drivetrain loss for sure too!

You mean like 03-04 Cobra, Shelby and Ford GT underarted? Kinda like "for insurance and competetion" purposes.
