If you want to stay naturally aspirated and dont have a **** load of cash to dump into ur car, i suggest a catback exhaust and a REAL cold air intake.. short ram is a waste of money in my opinion.. Those are the only two performance mods i have so far and i can tell the hp increase jus from the intake, but the HKS catback is awesome for livening up that quiet Renesis with stock duals.. Im going for replacement cat or just a hi flo one next

 

the accessport is a reflasher. It updates your pcm to control fuel properly, instead of having two systems fight against each other for control of the car.

how did you come to the conclusion that the int-x does more? Does "more" mean "less" in your language?

 

I would save my money on the intake and exhaust and take that money and buy the AP.
Say a Exhaust costs avg $500, intake avg$ 200 = $ for AP and get a whole lot more bang for the dollar.

 

it says the cobb access port is not a piggyback. does this mean i can just hook it up, tune it, then take it off? does anyone out there have one so i can tune mine? ill give it back lol

 

they're not stupid. once you flash a pcm, the AP is locked to that car until you uninstall. Uninstalling restores the original firmware to the car. So the AP can only be used on one car at a time.

 

Where did you get all this patience?

 

drugs. a lot of drugs.

 

do shops have similar devices that can do this but not perminately link it to your car? if they did i think it would be a lot cheaper

 

Right now the only people that can reflash your car are Mazda, Cobb, EFIDude, and soon Hymee. I believe EFIDude has a device that can reflash multiple cars, you just have to buy tokens for each car.

 

Yeah I think there is a Pro version they sell to shops that can flash multiple cars. I heard its really expensive though.

 

i just had my ms sideskirts and rear diffuser put in today by rosenthal mazda, they also reflashed my car for free

 

With a stock Mazda flash......

 

Yeah, I should have made that clear in my post. Mazda will only reflash your car with their stock flashes. They don't have performance flashes.
