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.

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.

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.

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.
