Nah. I'll be focusing on my speed6 this summer. Don't really care much about the cx5 as far as performance goes. I might consider dyno day on the cx5. I already paid for another session of dynotune on my speed6. But it seems like i wont be done with the port injection in time. So i might just...

The oem airbox is actually well designed. Way better than any other mazdas I've owned. As far as power gain from switching filters or to an aftermarket intake. We will never know. Even if there is gain, it is minimal. However, the sound from an aftermarket intake makes the car "sound" like it...

Thanks a bunch. I completely forgot about the torque app. I just bought a stock airbox from someone local. Will be rigging that up. Looks like it'll fit the CS SRI with the help of the dremel.

I didn't care much about the OEM filter to do some research on what material was used. Of all the cars I've owned. None of them had its original filter. My Mazdaspeed6 for example, the previous owner installed a Fujita intake with an aem dry cone filter for 132k miles of its life. The engine...

Updating this, I got these installed on my car http://www.ebay.com/itm/Door-Sill-Scuff-Stainless-Outside-Plate-Protector-FOR-2012-2016-Mazda-CX-5-CX5-/141408950794?fits=Model%3ACX-5&hash=item20eca15a0a:g:t~AAAMXQVs1RlFV0&vxp=mtr At first, I didn't really know the rectangular look. But I bought...

Yeap that's what I notice too, lots of people around here that prefer the stock airbox etc. I like the intake growl, I can't stand being a car that doesn't at least have some kind of engine note. The stock intake is definitely a good design, with the cool air coming in from the front. But I can...

Hey guys, since there's not much reviews about intakes on the CX-5. I'll post my reviews for people that want's an aftermarket panel filter (K&N or AEM). Also post a review about the Corksport short ram intake. OEM filter VS AEM Panel filter. The OEM filter is a paper filter that should be...

Mine is coming in. I'll update this when i get it

I bought the aem panel filter for my car. I am the type that doesnt care about filtration. As long the filter keeps rocks or anything big from entering the engine. I'm okay with it. As far as aem filter goes. The gas mileage went up by 2mpg. The intake suction noise is noticeably louder at...

Expect waterpump, fuel pump and injector problems from the x6. You'll need to clean the valves every 30-50k miles. BMW charge a hefty amount for valve cleaning.

Wished I read this before ordering another set of 3.5 polks. Luckily I have a friend with a CX-5. So i'll be installing it on her car Also, I read everywhere else it is 6 1/2 speaker all around? I already bought 6 3/4 speakers. Going to get it to fit someway or another. I'm waiting for my...

Updating this thread, Put in the 3.5' polk speakers in the front dash. Didn't know the center dash also have a 3.5 speaker slot. Will be ordering that tonight. The the wiring is routed there already. Driver side is a little bit harder to install. There's a plastic piece of the dash pushing...

Hey guys, I'm planning to upgrade the speakers on my Mazda CX5. I bought the sport model, knowing that I don't want the crappy bose system. Especially after experiencing it on both my speed3 and speed6. I understand that most of you get a huge improvement upgrading or adding speakers to the...
