AEM Cold Air Intake System Red

and

Greddy SP2 Exhaust

...but trying to get everything for under 1k

Opinions? GO!

BETTER YET PM ME ABOUT IT.

I went with MazdaSpeed exhaust and MazdaSpeed CAI, SOUNDS GREAT not to loud nice rumble, but once you get on it, they'll hear you coming!

That's awesome. 4 cars...we could just do it in front of the house...lol

The 23 is a bit harry for me now...I had something to do that sat, and it looks like we might be spending the night (or so says the boss - the wife)...that also means no sushi meet for me

Any suggestions for another date?
sorry

Sure. Nothing too serious on fri. Pm for my address. Or reply if you know of a good spot to meet. There is a small car wash on public road as if you were going to 73 south.
