Whenever you disconnect the battery the DSC Light and "icon with car in skid" will be lit and blinking since the ECU must re-learn. Dont worry about anything the car is fine. A few miles the lights will go away.

With the ignition on, turn the steering all the way left, then all the way right again.

Presto, all gone lights!

NOW you can go out and drive!

Read your manual it's in there. No excuse you don't have one either as they are free on Mazdausa.com when you register your car in the owners section.

Also use the search.

its awesome ...especially when u floor your throttle , the intake starts to growl ~ ^.^

from what i researched , CAI is better for your car because its cold air and lets your car breath better ...but if u love deep growling sounds , probably should go for k&N..

So you're smart enough to go tearing into your car to install mods an hour before you have to go to work. Might want to think about that a minute.
