I installed it and it added a good bit of horses. What is Ghetto rigging? Im not from the Ghetoo. Ghetoo Rigging to me would inply that I add big 20 inch rims. A midget to bang on the trunk to make it rattle and have alot of black people ride in it. I wont be doin any of that....Its not my style.
Ghetto rigging is where say for instance you want a sound system but instead of saving up for it you take house speakers and hook them up, for youre so called bass, and you dont have to be from the ghetto to know this just know a few black people (yes im black), be lazy or be cheap, and for youre defintion of ghetto rigging you for got to add, a sound system so loud you lose youre breath, 26in. chrome rims with spinners all in a white or black Escalde.

in regards to the factory intake, has anyone taken off the stock airbox and installed a cone filter in its place, on the end of the stock hose going to the manifold. here is a link to a new product that K&N has http://www.knfilters.com/universal/apollo.htm

I took off my factory air filter, and replaced it with a Autozone brand one, and the only problem is that one my air sensor is held in by duct tape and it keeps knocking against my battery box thats all, but it has increased my hp by 4 maybe 5 and improved gas milage by 5.

ok ok ok,..ONE: You will NOT suck up water when it rains by adding a Cold Air Intake...only if you go forging arcoss a river.
TWO: The factory air intake on a Mazda 3 is a BIT@# to remove,...i'm very mechanically inclined, and it still took me like 45 minutes to remove it...oh and about 5 minutes to put the new AEM cold air intake on. Can't honestly say i picked up horse power,..i know i did tho...but my "seat-of-the-pants-dyno" didn't really say alot. All in all i really like the system tho, and i'm glad i bought it. Better flow,..is still better flow.
hmmm,..what else. I love my car. aannndddd...
i love you guys!!! j/k

Tracker, when you say you took off your factory air filter and replaced it with an Autozone brand, what exactly do you mean? Did you just replace the filter, or did you remove the air box assembly all together and buy a new one from Autozone. And why is you air sensor being held in place by duct tape, it has to have a place to be plugged into, on the stock setup, it is on the air box, without your car will either run rich, or just plain terrible and will throw check engine codes at you. That would definitely be a void in the warranty for that system, On our car, we cannot just pull the air box and put on a cone filter, it will not work, because of that plug and the place it is. if you are going to go with a CAI or short-ram intake, do it right, or not at all. or you can just buy the K&N filter to replace stock, that will give you an extra 2-3hp and improved throttle response/gas mileage. Also, in case none of you knew this, the stock filter in the car is reusable, it can be cleaned with compressed air. that is per Mazda owners manual. Capernicus has the right setup, and looks like it is an actual kit, not just a cone filter. Be smart about this people.
