I checked for it today, didn't hear any whistle. I did however, hear a really feign high pitched whine, but I think that's just the engine spooling up (or something like that). It didn't sound out of place. My idle didn't seem to have any problems, was steady at 800 RMP.

^WOW! This thing's back from the dead! I didn't realize it until I read the MazdaSpeed intake wasn't out yet. I was like, whaaaaat? Haha.
I have the MazdaSpeed CAI and I really like it. I didn't notice any performance improvement, but then again, I knew that when purchasing it. I love the way it sounds, though! Let's face it, though, there's not a whole lot you can do to tap power out of the rotary without going forced induction. Oh well. Way to give life back to a three-year-old thread!

What if?????
Aye Carumba,what if i attached a 4 inch tube to the stock air box-with a drop in K&N and ran the tube or pipe to the front of the car-directly in the airstream?Any thoughts or comments.I did this with a 1986 Mustang SVO using collapsible ridgid aluminum duct and it made a huge difference in responce and power. Thanks JimS 2007 17 K blk/BLK GT 6 sp,strakes,clears and debadged.
