I originally wanted to get the mazdaspeed CAI, but my car is a daily driver and it sounds like a CAI may be more of a hassle than its worth. I want something that will increase my airflow but not limit my driving to nice weather, as well as have a filter that is easily accessible. I'm also looking to increase my midrange power.
I looked through some threads here regarding SRIs and it looks like Simota, Cobb, and Cosmo Racing are recommended here. Cosmo racing looks good, but its very low price concerns me, I don't want to get a piece of crap. Cobb looks good, but it looks like its only for the MS3 not the Mz3. I couldn't tell with Simota, I went to their site and everything was in Japanese. I also saw that Weapon-R makes two intakes for our car, but they seem as expensive as a CAI, and I'm not so sure about their "dual tube technology" or whatever they call it. Sounds like marketing hype to me.
Anyway, if anyone is running SRIs let me know which ones and what you think.
