Got it yesterday and Had Ron Tonkin Mazda install it (Josh did me right). All I have to say is HOLY MUTHATRUCKER BATMAN ! The car seems to come unglued when you get hard on it in 2nd and 3rd.Traction control lighting up like a Christmas tree. LOVE IT. Also this has to be the loudest CAI I have ever heard. Donnie the tech brought the car back into the shop because how loud it is that he thought a hose came loose.

Very worth while mod. I'm really pleased with mine. I know the dyno numbers on these are all over the map but the only one that matters to me is the butt dyno

im still fence watching - soon though very soon

I put the CAI purchase on hold, due to a self-inflicted MS3 budget freeze. I dumped about $1200 on coilovers/camberlinks and I'm waiting for the credit card bill to be released, so I can go ahead and pay it off. So hopefully I'll move on the CAI purchase around mid-May.

I'm interested in hearing both short-term and long-term reviews of the CAI. Sounds like it is well worth it.

What about exhaust + intake? Bc I'm looking to buy both at the same time.

According to UPS I should have my MS CAI at my house waiting once I get off work!! I also have the MS CBE ordered. Has anyone heard when the release date will be on the exhaust? I just got the MS3 last week and I am having a lot of fun with it. Is there a shift kit made for the car yet?

 

[Curved]

Great prices!!

Although it's def not the loudest CAI I've ever heard. My Mr2 was ridiculously loud with a CAI on it.

 

[nypest]

Ok! I ordered my MS CAI should be here tomorrow. Called my local mazda speed shop. They told me they were told my mazda to not install any further due to it throwing a check engine light for being to lean. He told me to check back in a week or so as there waiting on some instruction from mazda as to how to fix this problem(mentions about moving some tube? didnt make sense to me) . He also told me that he had 3 others waiting too. Has anyone herd about this or had a CAI give them a problem. I read in one of the other posts that there was a sticker that came with the CAI with a reflash code in case of just this issue????? I WANT THAT EXTRA 10-20
