Which is more important. Looks for performance? How much money are you willing to spend? Give a few more details of where you'd like to end up.

Here is what everyone will most likely say in a nutshell. Everything for the exterior should be authentic. So Mazdaspeed. For mods it will be a Cobb AccessPort through MazdaManiac. Possibly a Short Throw shifter. There will of course be other things added but thats usually the case.

intake and exhaust will not help very much in the HP gains however an exhaust i highly reccommend gives alot nicer tone but the few hundred dollars you will spend on an intake will not help in the performance end

1000 miles on the odometer and $25 to register for an autocross event!

After that Koni yellows and start stuffing money in your pillow for lightweight rims and R-compounds!

I Recommend Exhaust if you want some sound , but dont expect any performance gains from it. Second i was recommend a short shifter , make daily driving a lot more fun. Other then that maybe an intake , again just for sound..dont expect much/any gains from bolt on mods. If you want power go with a turbo or supercharger. You can do nitrous too but i personally dont like using the bottle....its for babies lol.
