Did you get yours today? I am in Toronto too!!
[/quote]
Yes.. I may be the first Canadian to open a MS CAI box :lol: Just need the car
I purchased from the U.S. (Tomkin group buy)
Looking forward to the "after" dyno's :klavergreg:

Yikes! Somebody measure their fuel trims with this intake.
This intake will work well on a stock car just because they are tuned so incredibly conservative and rich from the factory, but once ECU tuning becomes available, this intake is going to be an Achilles heal. As I said earlier, this intake will dyno high because it leans out the air/fuel ratio- hell, the worse and intake is in this regard, the higher it will dyno. These are what I'd call ricer gains, because Mazdaspeed intake owners will not be able to use Cobb's reflash nor CPE's upcoming piggyback, at least not without paying for custom tuning and dyno time, and MAF corrections are extremely difficult to do even with a Mustang dyno (which a lot of tuners don't even have).

I just need to ask a question on this one part..
If I only plan on adding this CAI and that's all for modd's... I will be fine correct? Or will I run into problems? You state this is a good mod to lean out the car.....

Wouldn't the bend be exactly where it needs to be to "channel" the air across the MAF sensor. From just looking at the design, it seems to be in the right location?? Now if it was directly opposite on the bottom of the tube - I could see some apparant flaws in the design. Maybe a chance that the CP-E is over-engineered??

The guy with the CEL is running his BOV VTA.. I'm by no means an expert, but wouldn't running in recirc mode help?
[/quote]The guy with the cel is running recirc. He said he is taking the BOV off to see if that fixes the problem.
[/quote]
maybe I'm wrong wait!! Ya I was wrong - my bad

I just had the CAI put on... With everyone elses install, does the botton of the filter touch the black panel that covers it?? It seemed to be pretty squishy in there..
[/quote]
Mine does not. I put the wheel well cover back on before the bottom shield.
[/quote]
I looked - trust me..
Is there a pic that shows the air filter/splash guard installed so I can see the correct placement of the splash guards??

is your splash shield upside down? It looks as though it should be the other way and not on top of the intake. Thanks for the pics and the vids. How long do you think the install would have been without removing the bumper.
[/quote]
no I dont think it go any other way if u look at the intake it has v that where u put the srews,
it protect it from the vent from the tire side wall, water splash , maybe dripping on the hood, I know I had dripping problem with injen CAi on mazda3 sedan which cause a check engine on to come on

the bumper removal only take about 10 min to remove no beggie, it give you clear access to what you are working on , I done it so many time with the previews Mazda3 sedan so Im familiar with all the srews,I think the speed3 is much more easy to remove the OEM CAI, I just did not want to jack the car and remove the tires, I'm sure someone here will figure out how to installed it without even removing the tires,

Hang - on - I think This answers my question 8)

^^^^^^^^^^^^
Hold on now, that is not yet bolted down and does not even have the splash shield on. I wish I took pics but mine does not touch and I'm sorry but I am not going under there to take pics.

So who's volunteering? :lol:
