Party time

Alright, I've got enough money saved up to make my MS3 something of a monster.

It already has a MS CAI and I plan on putting the following this month unless you have any other suggestions.

HKS SSQ V2 BOV
TWM Short Shifter
ETS Top Mount Intercooler

And either the
Mazdaspeed Catback Exhaust
Or the
Vibrant Downpipe Exhaust
Depending on your opinion of sound/power
I love the sound of the vibrant but if it doesnt do much more than the MS I can't see spending the extra cash on it.

Welcome...err
I, mean
I'd go with Corksport for the exhaust.

HKS SSQ V2 BOV is this rec? or VTA?

ETS, Full Turbo back exhaust ( couple of good choices out there ) and rear motor mount ( choices again ) Check out some of engenears freebies! Then let the tune begin bro

Vibrant is downpipe back...as in it replaces the 2nd cat with a high flow one, so there's reason it's more than the MS one. If you like the sound of the vibrant, I think the Corksport downpipe should go well with it. Theres a video on this setup on youtube, search "vibrant mazdaspeed 3"

I'd def get motor mount of some type....I have the corksport inserts (35 bucks cant beat that)

I'm personally waiting for cobb's STS before I get one. (at least to compare)

THreAdjack JUst reaL quick though. Aaron inserts improve to 3rd shifting? back to the regularly scheduled program Sorry ec but thats a cheap fix that shold be addressed

I grinded into 3rd all the time before inserts. I'm sure the other mounts work just as well (probably 'better' as they are whole new mounts). I've had these things in for like 10k miles or something, I think they are great for a DD: shifting/wheel hop is better/reduces and no noticeable increase in vibes...and $35! I also have shifter bushings counter weight removed....this setup is perfect for me I never miss a gear anymore.
