I went to the dealership thinking I could just go buy two new ones but come to find out mazda does not even make them, or sell them by themselves. This is total BS. The guy told me I have to purchase a whole new stock intake which is $450, F*** that.

So I am stuck between a rock and a hard place, any ideas or solutions would help me a ton.

I know how you feel, One of my screens tore, Here's how it went down. I brought my car in and told them my car died one time at a light, so they inspected my car they found nothing. So i was like whatever and went home, couple days later, I opened my hood and look around, I said what if the Air filter is clogged with feathers and stuff. So i checked and found bird feathers and i looked closely and saw one of my screens tore, so i was like, that can't be good, so i took it into the dealership and told them i found out that my screen is tore. I poped the hood and open up the intake and they said "I need to call the Head Manager" i said ok. they called him and come back and said. Theirs two solutions #1 We can goto Home Depot and buy a window screen for houses and cut a piece out for your intake. I said Hell NO! i want this under warrenty and OEM parts! they Said "We can get you another intake assembly but you have to pay for it" I said why? They said " The Head Manager said why would a kid go open a intake and check it" I said Maybe Beacuse It's My FU*king car! I can do whatever the hell i want!!! Then they said Well sorry we can't warrenty this Part for you. I told them it's not a wear and tear item. Why shouldnt it be? they said cause the Manager doesnt want to warrenty it because you tampered the screen. I said i didnt!!! So i said fuck you guys! im gonna go buy a MS Intake instead of paying $450 for an OEM one. Im gonna write to Mazda North and give them a bad review for poor customer service. :Eyecrazy:

Well then I may have to go get a dyno this week. I mean I have no cels and the car runs as smooth as ever and it pulls hard from 4k to redline. I noticed before that I had rough spots through the powerband it seems that has smoothed out.

I mean dont our cars run rich as hell anyway, so why not have more air ramming into that bad boy. Its breathing much better...
