With the way you are asking about hydrolock, I am a little concerned.... you didn't manage to do that already did you?!

No. I'm a neophite in these matters. I have not dones any performance mods to any of my cars yet. I'm an old fart, but never got to to it when I was young. My neighbors friend got his CAI in a Nissan Maxima that messed it up badly with water going up the intake. I do not know the details. I was concerned about it, but he must have done something bad driving wise or he may have taken the under cover or something... who knows.

yeah hydrolock is a fear but i have only seen 1 myself in 7 years of doing this and this is a rainy state. It can happen but just don't go into a gaint puddle and hit full throttle. If you fear you have gone into a big puddle let off the gas instantly coast to the side of the road and check it out. Its not very common though

so this mazda speed intake is how much and could you deliver to NC????

One of my buddies hydrolocked his car. He has a Focus, and his CAI stretched pretty far down. He didn't even think about it and was tearing through puddles on purpose. Doh!

damn. i thought i could wait a year or two before starting to mod this car.
now i cant wait for the exhaust to come out

Guess I am the first on the board!

Here are the pix everyone wants:

....

The intake is very well made, the two pipes are TIG welded and the welds are of excellent quality and appearance (there is some minor over penetration, no big deal)
There are two silicone couplers: one 90*, one straight
Two MazdaSpeed die cut stickers (would look good on my toolbox ;-) )
Two bottles of cleaner for the filter (this is good for one cleaning at 20,000 miles if you follow the instructions)
One AEM dry-flow filter
One splash shield
Bolts, clamps, and hardware all packed neatly in Styrofoam popcorn with MazdaSpeed on the side of the box

The instructions are clear, and should be enough for anyone to follow. (Mazda wrote them for their own techs)
It is not necessary to remove the front bumper as with the CP-e CAI.

Not much else to say about it now... I paid $310 and picked up at Tonkin after work (guess I had to pay shipping too, not really bothered about it though)

I will be installing this Saturday at the latest. (and sometime after that my TurboXS race pipe and Hybrid BOV might actually arrive)

And I will leave you with a pix of intakes being loaded onto the UPS truck (one trip of many)

Hey Ron Tonkin....will this gb still be in effect in a few months? This is a sweet deal you have going.

I am sure I will be able to get one through my dealer in Canada, but I am all about saving a buck
My car is sitting at port right now so not quite ready to order ....
