So, what's next? If you like the sound of the exhaust, may I suggest the RB intake with ram air duct.

When I first installed my RB exhaust, I was LOVING it!
3 days later I installed my RB intake and Ram Air Duct....WOW!!
What I love about it is how quiet it can be at idle and easy driving, but just like the exhaust, when you go WOT you REALLY hear it! (just ask Xrider01 about heraing mine on the freeway during some 'spirited' driving we did)

ok now let me ask the ?. your in orange county, did you pick it up or did you order it online. for some reason it's cheaper to order online and from out of state. then it is to just go direct. comments please.

Micahel,
I ordered it from mazdaparts.com and they gave me a GREAT deal. I told him I was a member of this site and he waived the shipping on it.

I ordered mine online through Mazdaparts as well. Racing Beat doesn't give you any incentives or discounts to order directly from them. The only advantage you may get, is quicker shipping. My intake had to come from a wharehouse in Mississippi, and then it was lost by FEdex....long story, but yes, order it online.

I think Jedi had a friend's help.
Definately not something to have a shop do....definately no need. Its as easy as building Legos from those little pictures they give you in the box. Easy.

I did this at home with the help of a friend. (even though it can easily be done by yourself)
Very few tools needed like Keith said...just a few hours of work and you're set!

YAY!!
You made the right decision Michael, I know you wont' regret it. Besides, my mpg has even gone up since installing my Revi Intake.

I saw an increase in MPG, but then gas quality really changed and it has dropped lower than what I was getting prior to the intake installation.

Winter formula usually does that to your mpg.
Don't worry, it'll get better after memorial day.
