^ You can definitely feel (and measure) the improvement with a Cobb AP and a MazdaManiac custom tune. But you're correct that an aftermarket intake/exhaust won't do much. Going Cat-less ('midpipe') will of course offer significant gains, but that's for track only. Alternatively a high flow Cat such as the RP Supercat, which is emissions street legal, but not as much gain.

That's becuse you're comparing the engine's rated horsepower against its "at the wheels" HP (WHP), which will always be lower given the innate resistance of the other drivetrain components.
Every couple of NA HP gain adds up, but is dwarfed by FI, as we all know.
