mazda speed CAI no longer made?
I went into my mazda dealership two days ago to order in a CAI for my 2009, and the parts guy looked in the book, then told me that its been discontinued....has anyone else heard of this, or does he just not know what hes doing?
this is in canada, in case that makes a difference

I think people are worrying too much about the hot air thinggy.
I mean yea sure AEM/Mazdaspeed pulls colder air, but did it actually gain anything? it did, not much.
Did K&N lose anything? some say it does some say it doesn't who knows.
K&N's MAF sensor location might be one thing to consider. but hey if it works. I dont see why not.

nycgps: I'm pretty sure someone did back to back dyno's on here with the K&N and lost hp. It was years ago though.
either way, it's simple engineering in my mind and the K&N concept fails to accomplish what an aftermarket intake is supposed to do: deliver more cold air in an efficient manner.
Just my $.02

Could be could be. but if people has no problem with their K&N meh I dont see why not
Anyway as to OP's original question : You still can order the intake from Mazda, but its currently Out of stock. Im too lazy to call Mazda Corporate again to ask them ETA, cuz I just did that to try to get some Engine Gasket set but its NLA. pisses me off ...
if u ask me 2 weeks ago I would've sell you mine. 220 bux. Now a local guy wants it so if the deal falls apart. I let u know.

I agree that the K&N Typhoon is not a CAI, and further it is very loud, but comparing a dyno run to on-highway is not really fair. On-highway it will be fed "cold" ambient air due to the vehicle's motion. Now, sitting in traffic is certainly a concern.
Anyway, as Jedi cites get a similar-to AEM CAI [if they make one for the Series II].

I've no idea about the revised 2nd version(which I have) but as my car runs/idles great I have no issues with it. It doesn't bother me that it's a "hot" air intake and if I'm losing .005 HP at speed with it I can live with that. It came with the car and after getting used to the sound I actually really enjoy it. But I doubt this version is hurting the car, but if I'm wrong then I'm wrong. No big deal.
