Welcome Alex!
First off, please don't "pimp" out your 8, this is not a rice-mobile!
Second, most aftermarket kits are very cheaply built and never fit correctly. You will end up spending the same on a replica after getting it modified by the body shop and painted as it would cost to get an authentic Mazdaspeed one. If you really don't want to go that route, Shine Auto kits usually fit nicely, and I've heard good things about the KDB kit as well.
Lastly, Mazda did a really good job engineering our cars and there is NOT much you can do power-wise to increase HP noticeably, except for going turbo. The stock intake on the 8 is really efficient and putting in a K&N or A&E intake will actually decrease HP because it sucks in the hot air from the engine bay instead of the cold air outside. If you don't care about that and simply want the sound, then it's all you.
