i just got my 8 i want to put an intake and and maybe an exaust on it....any suggestions?

 

Congrats. I'm getting mine Saturday and the first thing I'm doing is getting clear corners.

 

yea dude i love it i just got mine last saturday. im not real sure what all i want to do yet.

 

intake:: AEM CAI or Racing Beat ReVi W/Duct

Exhaust: waaaaaaayyyyy to many choices, all depends on tbhe sound you want.

look at the parts for sale section

 

If you are trying to gain hp, skip the intake and exhuast, as adding those will give you single digit hp. The stock air box and exhaust are quite good.
Instead buy a Racing beat ram air intake to make the air intake a COLD air intake, not an engine compartment temp air intake.
Next buy a Cobb AP with a Mazda Maniac tune.
Spend the extra three hundred and have a little fun.

That being said if you are out to change the sound notes of your car, then look around and see which ones sound the best to you.

 

Hey the Cobb AP sounds pretty interesting...but the website doesn't provide any data like expected HP/Torque gains, etc.

Anyone have this system and any details on that? You would think at $600.00 they would want to give you a little information first...

 

AP with base cobb tune will net you 300whp

AP with mm tune will get you in the 400-500 whp range

Welcome to the club!

 

Really? Guess I know what I'm getting for my birthday then... Excellent.

Does it help much with the low torque problem?

 

LOL, not really, you won't get much help with that unless you go FI.

He was joking with you about the AP tune.

 

Not sure if anybody asked, what year/trim is your 8? looks identical to mine

 

 

3. Hiflow or catless midpipe

4. Radiator & oil cooler screens

5. Catch can if you're an 04 or 05

Everything else except a turbo, nitrous, or supercharger is just bling

 

Hmm guess you could count pulleys too... Thought we were focusing on must haves though... While not quantified I do believe all bets are off stock cat once you get a nice clean AFR tune.

It is interesting that all my 8s best mods came from Arizona...

 

Thought of something else useful mod wise... Racing brake drilled/slotted rotors and some hawk ceramic pads

 

the taylor hall im assuming? welcome to the club dude! enjoy the car. light wheels. open exhaust. and of course BHR ingnition(my next mod).

 

its a 2007 touring a/t ... i wanted a six speed but i couldnt find one i liked as much as this one i looked at the racing beat intake and ive heard alot of things about them ... not so sure about the mazda maniac tune i think im gonna wait on that...by the way does anybody have the cin city hids??

 

yea right now im not as much worried about goin fast i had a jeep before this... i still have it ....but its plenty fast for me right now

 

congrats and welcome to the club

 

2x, Welcome none the less, tho.

 

1.Yukon coil setup - so you don't have to keep replacing the stock coils.
2.Midpipe - Your cat will eventually clog up, just like mine. Possibly can cause engine damage if it does.

Stock airbox and exhaust are kosher. Pull the airbox out and clean any oil out of the intake tract (if there is any) and clean your throttle body and maf sensor. Maybe get a catch can to prevent oil from getting there again. Thats just the beginning of stuff to do. Search and you will learn! Good luck with the new ride

 

looks nice
