Mazda3 09, Cold Air Intake
 

Hey I was wondering, if a cold air intake from a mazdaspeed3 would fit on a mazda3, Also i just bought a brand new mazda3 '09 sGrandtouring and im going to put a cold air intake and im thinking about going with AEM any suggestions? Thanks

Nope. The MS3 is a completely different animal... it's turbocharged. However, and I don't know if one is out for your year yet, the Mazdaspeed CAI in the accessories list would fit.

Oh, ok thanks.
So if I was going to go with a diffrent brand Like AeM for a cold air intake, who would you recomend as a cold air intake provider?

Well, I have the MazdaSpeed myself but they are designed and built by AEM. The only real difference is that the MS comes w/a splash shield and the AEM does not. I got a good deal on it from someone thatended up w/2 of them.Thankfully, I did not have to pay anything close to the $335 retail for it andI like it, but not $335 worth. They are available from other sources at much less than retail anyway. Don't pay full retail for one.
The Injen is said to be very good also and might have been my second choice.
The K&N Typhoon? I personally don"t know anyone running it but they have a good rep and I"m sure they are worthy... just watch you don"t use too much oil when cleaning the filter.Or change it out for a dry synthetic type.
A lot of people like the Fujitsu, but the dyno sheets I've seen indicate that it is best @ high RPMs only, which tome limits it"s usefulness. But it is cheaper than many of the others.
