my instruction wernt the best either and i thought there was an air leak too but check and found nothing.doesnt whisle until warmed up. some time it goes away randomly for a few minutes, and it idled rough before intake and i think it alittle worse now but im not to sure

 

I'll check mine throughout the day and let you know tonight if I notice anything.

 

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.

 

yeah it is more of a whine than a whisle but same thing so i guess it must be normal

 

got a question... when installing K&n intake... the typhoon version.... where do i insert the 2 hoses? coz it has only 1 outlet for the hose... thanks...

 

performance wise u will prob see a drop in HP and TQ but it will sound different

the sound and looks is all ur gettin with an intake on this car

 

^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!

 

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.

 

hhaha you've already got that with the stock unit except for the drop in K&N. Its got a hose that runs into the bumper already. dont expect a huge difference in response or power

 

Curious if there's an intake that has less drone on the highway?

 

^ compared to what?
