here is just a few shots of what sillygrl took of my 8.

 

This is sick ( as in nice )

would that happen to be a K&N Typhoon Air Filter?

If so did you realize any power gain or cleaner flow through the engine?

Woops i see it in your Signature now... But anyways could you still answer my question.

 

Well the kn intake with the MS exhausts sounds sooo nice and i can actually feel a push. I used to own a borla exhaust and i didn't feel anything as much but just a super loud exhaust. The ms exhausts with my kn intake does give me a push.(not a super push but like a tad) I would recommend u to get kn intake + ms exhausts together because it makes ur car sound like a jet engine. U can ask draco and sillygrl about it because they have heard my car.

 

heh. Placebo is working well with you

The intake isn't going to help you much, you could take off your intake (no filters) and not gain much. Same with the exhaust, take it all off and you gain maybe 3 hp. Exhaust and intake doesn't make this car go faster, at least not in NA form.

 

Ya, you don't gain much but i can feel something different i dunno what it is. But with my borla i didn't get the same feeling as my ms exhaust. But u get a AWESOME sound with kn and ms exhaust =). HEHEHE jason me and ur car not looking same anymore =(. My car is pushing a lot of mods during winter. I want to see some new pics of ur car jason =P.

 

Thanks for the info.

I was planning on getting a GReddy Exhaust with the K&N Filter.

I have seen deals on the K&N Intake for about $250.... So if you know anyplace where I can get it cheaper please do tell me. I have the money right now and it is a definite option. Also plan on getting the GReddy exhaust maybe by the end of next week.

 

Great job on putting the Mazdaspeed badge on the back of the car.

Looks NICE!

 

heh. Well the MS kit looks sweet on your car. I've quit doing anything with my car for the time being. Two reasons: 1) I bought a new house, 2) current mods don't really do much for the car.

the cz worked well, i may buy another one. light flywheel isn't something i want to get into until the clutch needs some work. it looks like we'll be seeing some FI kits available within 6 months. So waiting to see how well they perform.

 

OOO Fi.. =P im looking into FI right now too =P. I have to finish my exterior during winter time, then when spring comes around im gonna try to get the FI in this baby =). Thanks i love the MS emblem too =P, i had to do it =). 14 dollars at rosenthal to get the emblem if anyone is gonna do it.

 

Looks nice and clean..... very smooth.

 

good choice in exhaust . You should have those tips cleaned, never knew how small the tips looked doesn't look as small on mine maybe it's because of the soot on the exhaust iono. looks nice either way. yea i agree with jason get rid of the filter or at least get a heat shield.

 

Here is the GReddy Exhaust

 

Ya the tips were kinda dirty =P now they are clean clean =). Also i do have the heat shield for the kn intake soo it is allll good =).hehehe. Got any new pics of urs zoom zoom?

 

very nice!

 

nah no new pics, don't have anything new on to show :p

planning on getting the kit too soon, but the season of giving and not receiving is coming :D so have to wait til jan.

 

get a used K&N don't spend 250 on a new one, theres not much on a used one that can be messed up. A lot of people are selling them, plus if you wait until the RB intake comes out you will get a sweet deal. I got mine new for 237 shipped and tax from vivid racing.

 

HEHE prolly have new pics up by end of week =P. Will have my side skirts on too by then. I have a question what coils should i get :teins, jic, or hks?
