The folks at Good-Win Racing gave me the best advice I've seen. If you're under 30, go for the "filter & tube" MazdaSpeed or AEM Cold Air intake. If you're older than 30 go for the Racing Beat. There's definitely a sound intensity (dB) consideration between the two.
btw: you can also do what I did; mate the RB Ram Air Duct ('cold air access') to the stock air filter enclosure. Better outside air access with the stock filter relative quiet.
Edit: Mazda pretty much maxed out the performance on the stock '8 NA design. A MS/3rd party CAI and/or exhaust won't get you much Hp gain. It's/they're mostly for the differing sound(s).

Had a racingbeat with duct. No real gain, but seemed to block the lower grill portion from cooling the radiator(bothered me). Sold it and just got the k&n t-foon. my but dyno likes it alot plus you can have the Woot!
btw:^ I dont idle much so the "Cold Air" is always flowing.

I had the K&n v2 (aka typhoon) before I bought my AEM and IMO the AEM is much better.
The K&N is a lot louder and vibrated my dash at WOT. Also when looking at my IAT using my AP it showed temps 30 degrees plus over AMB. I never had any problems with my K&N, but when I switched to the AEM I was much happier. IAT is never more than 15 to 20 degrees even when you are at a stand still and while you are driving they are almost the same as AMB.
To each his own though...

Have you considered PRM? It's a sick sounding intake that makes the same power. Best of all right now you can pick it up a fair bit cheaper than those other ones. Anyways just something to consider.
Let me know if you have questions.

I also say AEM/MS but to me it's a waste of money since u see no gains (1 or 2 HP if any) for 300 bucks or more...do the stock airbox mod and spend the 300 on something else
