How to Modify your Mazdaspeed...

[Nirvandan]

Im a noob

Either way I dont think there is anything wrong with that guide

in my MPS 6, i did my exhaust from the 1st cat 3" all the way back and 2 straight through mufflers, the MPS6's dump pipe is different to the 3MPS, in the 3 i can understand why it would be essential to replace it, but on the 6, the first cat is bolted directly to the turbo, so putting 3" from the 1st cat is essentially the same thing as putting on a dump pipe with a single cat where the 2nd cat is currently.

PS: what are the intercooler boost tubes?

I'd suspect they mean the hoses that are attached to the intercooler. I don't see why one would bother with this. Some of these things might be a looks/sound type of this rather than performance mods...

maybe Intercooler piping? Adding different diametre ones could add power but increase lag or visa versa.

Maybe the system is for ppl that want to go all the way, because when you do manifold and turbo that is when the dump would be the easiest to install.

I don't think larger diameter intercooler pipes would benefit. They wouldn't fit on the intercooler then.
I think it's suggesting to replace them with silicone hoses for looks... Look IS a reason for modding...

Wish there was a mod to make sure that the engine give equal performance on every drive... Some nights worked 5.7's/6Ls struggle to shake me then some times I struggle to shake 3.6 ecotecs. Frustrating as hell...

There IS, Jim !.!.!
A FMIC from Troy, and a tune at HP-F...

I'll echo Jon's comment. Get a FMIC. By itself it goes a long way to solving the 'variable' performance problem.

A motor is an air pump.

Air in - air out, the less restrictive it is, it will make more power.

Colder air in - more power.

Consistant air temps = consistant power figures.
