If you are talking about this
Mazda 3 MPS Short Ram Intake

Ive had one on my car for 3yrs, no problems, simple design, easy to install & good price.

I await feedback eagerly as i just bought one and havent installed it yet. Fckn quick service, ordered it form melbourne (i think) on monday pm and got it am on tuesday (gold coast) - wow. worksmanship is great looking forward to chucking this on this weekend. yew

[raffa]

I hope so as I just ordered one will let you kno

[kelviN]

interested as well....did u get the full setup with the box raffa ????

[raffa]

No as a called and spoke to ( Insert name here) he told me the filters were out of stock and as I'm a fairly impatient guy I didnt wanna wait, he told me that a 3a pod filter for $30 from AUTO ONE is a better filter than the $100 k& n one the he sells anyway so I got one today and should have the maf by tomorro if all voes well and saved $70..... happy days !

Will let you all know how it turns out !

[AD07]

Mine originally came with the 3A filter.

[raffa]

Came from where ?

[AD07]

Ummm, TurboXS......

[raffa]

The guy I spoke to said he now uses k& n coz of it's marketability more than anything else and that overall the 3A is a better product

[raffa]

ok so it arrived as i was walking out the door @ work, so i raced home and did the 'DIY thing' gotta say....... i love the noise ! easy to install ( once i found the right screw to mount the bracket too) took maybe 15min very happy thus far !

[AD07]

Good stuff raffa

[doctordex]

The right screw? yeah i was a bit unsure as well, i just mounted it to a screw directly under the MAF sensor on the gearbox i think. Any idea if this is the right one?? the pod still sits above the bracket anyway, doesnt really lean on it at all. Very impressed with the induction noises, they are greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate

[TD]

he told me that a 3a pod filter for $30 from AUTO ONE

Auto One sells 3A pod filters for $30? Damn...I know where I'm off to tomorrow

[raffa]

Yeah I did the same thing doctordex it was the only place that looked right( although I wasn't overly happy undoing screws on the gearbox) and $30 for the best pod ( great investment )

[raffa]

Also found the 3a on eBay in Vic for $20

[2000MNLESS]

I take it the bracket is still that useless 'Y' looking thing that doesn't secure the pod properly! Or have they actually invested into making a proper one? Should've spent the extra morey and bought a decent intake from the get go........

[doctordex]

yeah the bracket is somewhat useless unfortunately, wish i new this earlier, however i cant fault the intake, so far its great. Not sure if its added any power but it sure seems like it, maybe that whoooooosh sound just creates the illusion.

[raffa]

Yeah I also really don't like the way it sits/rests on the 'mount' I also do like the sound but have just got a cai so we'll see how that goes

[raffa]

Just installed my new ingen CIA and can't even begin to describe the difference spend the extra money people ( if you can)!!!
