Do some searches on the k&n air filter, depending where you live it might not be the best idea. I am just going off posts by Eric Meyer but he suggests using the oem mazda one, the k&n will most likely give you a few hp but it does not filter as good.

K&N is crap, and thats the end of it.

He's talking about just the K&N air filter... not the typhoony cr@p intake. There's nothing wrong at all with replacing the air filter with the K&N. You won't see much in performance changes but at least you'll have a top notch filter in place.

1) BHR Ignition System.
2) Cobb AccessPort form MazdaManiac.
3) Lightweight flywheel.
4) Performance midpipe.
What Charles said....

Also with Mazdatrix right down the road I'd definitely be spending some time over there ... once you realize that the only real performance gain is FI they'll likely take care of you.... everything else is reliability.
