you wish :p

 

actually it was a throttle body but anyway. you know every post i've seen you reply to you've said nothing positive about these cars why don;t you just drive your car around do no upgrades and be happy. and all of us will just waste our money till we find something that makes our cars faster that way you can sit back and laugh it all up. hey if you're really lucky we'll find nothing at all and you would have been right all along yay for you but untill than why dont; you just keep your mouth shut cause noone wants to hear you.

 

I got the intake yesterday
and I will install tomorrow

 

Intake is on and Im happy with it.
It feels better off the line and at high rpms
also its not as loud as the old version

 

Did you buy at Ebay for $210 last week? I was ready to buy but did one last research and when I returned the auction was pulled. The seller told me he would have more this week but I have not found them yet. So far so good?

 

sound clips would be nice =] oh and a dyno !

 

Hemmingway

I really like this intake

sorry I dont plan on doing any dyno and I dont know how to do a sound clip
but it sounds almost just like the first intake
not as loud though

Oh and I got in here in cali not on ebay

 

Hey Mikeb. Did the intake come with a CARB sticker?

 

where did you buy it from?

 

A local speed shop here in cali

 

I am getting ready to record a sound clip here in about a half hour. I need my batteries to charge up first.

I kinda like how it looks like.

 

it looks and feels better than the first system
thank god

 

I bought K & N Intake on Ebay this afternoon. Auction lasted eight minutes from start until I bought, paid, and auction ended. My intake has been shipped already. Road Runner- performance is the seller. I am impressed, very impressed so far. I paid $225 including shipping. To be clear it is the new intake and not the old one.

 

I got mine from vividracing. This is the first major mod that I made to my car. I have to say that after installation, I like my 8 even more. It almost feel like that feeling I got when I first drove it from the dealer.

 

Doesn't it still suck hot air like the first one??

 

No. There is a heat shield and it is aimed at the opening behind the front bumper.

 

has anyone actually dynoed this intake?

 

I'm going to do a baseline with the stock, OLD K&N and New K&N. It'll be a few weeks still. My club is having a dyno day.

 

awesome. it would be nice to see if this intake has any actual gains. it sounds pretty awesome in your car. anyone in your club have an A/T they're gonna dyno? it would be cool to see how it is on the A/T.

 

I saw a post on another forum with the typhoon system older one actual gained 4 horsepower

 

ok..i am new to all this so bear with me will this affect the warranty on any part of the car? also it sounds like u guys are putting this stuff on yourself...if i am not so car friendly, how much would it cost for me to have it installed proffesionally?...thx!

 

I have the same question Mike does as far as the warranty. I got a Mazda Certified used car warranty, so I have 5-years bumper-to-bumper that I dont want to void out. But I'd love to do something like this to my car, even though like MIke, I'm not all that car-saavy (though I want to be hehe)

If you click on installation instruction sheet, you can determine if it is too hard for yourself. I dont think it should be too hard to do it yourself. The instructions look pretty detailed.

But if ya can't it, I dunno how much it would cost. You could try callin a few shops in your area and see how much they'd charge. I'd imagine they would just charge their hourly labor.

As for the warrenty, I would imagine that it wouldn't void it. If something does go wrong, they'd have to determine that you air intake caused it before they can void it, but I hear Mazda is voiding warrenties for bs reasons. If I had an intake, I would just take it off before taking my car in just to be safe

Theres also a dyno sheet on that page to prove their gains with the intake, but then anyone can fake a dyno sheet....
