Isnt MS 3.0?....if its 2.5 then I got a problem cause I ordered the RB midpipe and isn't that 3.0? Crap.. To answer your question...I bought mine with MS already on it and it's been great and sounds great.

OP: I've gone 'round and 'round on this myself (to also include Borla) and have decided on a Racing Beat... with an RP SuperCat.
RB = superior build quality to the MazdaSpeed (welds) and it had the tone I was looking for. Hear them all in person before you decide tho'. Definitely an ear of the beholder item.

I definitely went with RB's you can check it out in my pics... sounds great sometimes i hear it over my subs too with the windows up. Pretty soon i'll be getting a midpipe and see how it sounds from there tho..

^ the short answer is no. The K&N Typhoon produces some appreciable power, but at the expense of being very loud and it also doesn't work very well in hot ambient conditions as it ingests engine bay air. A cold air intake (CAI) will give you a relatively small increase and assures cooler intake air.
The stock intake and exhaust are already pretty much maxed out performance wise. Therefore, aftermarkets are more for unique sound. A high-flow Cat or midpipe on an exhaust do produce appreciable power. But again, fairly small when compared to a forced induction (FI) system.
