hey guys,

Just got my mazda3 S a month ago and i was wondering what i should put on it 1st. i wanted to add a cold air intake and exaust. i dont know much about cars so i can use all the help i can get. i thought the hks hi power exaust sounded amazing. i want a low rumble not a high pitched fart box. not sure exactly what i should get. dont have a lot of money to spend atm. so i was thinking about getting an intake system first since they are a lot cheaper and seem a lot easier to install. please email me your ideas or post here chancebog63@hotmail.com is my email, thanks a lot

 

id say you have a good start with ca intake and exhaust... if you live in a place where it rains a lot, get a short ram tyhough

 

any certian brand? i dont want to spend too much but i dont want to buy ****

 

i went with injen for my intake... you can find used intakes for like 150 everywhere... and exhaust... what kind do you want? cat back or full?

 

whats the best? my friend that knows stuff about cars said cat back. probly injen i hear they give more hp than aem. do i really want used stuff though?

 

I am new to the Mazda forum, but not new to the Subaru world. NA cars respond well to CAI and a Catback exhaust. Personally though the fun factor for these cars significantly goes up with suspension mods.

FWD is known for understeer, save up and get Coilovers. I like the Tein Super street with EDFC, but if you are on a budget the BC BR-type coilover would be a good one that is half the price. front and rear anti-sway bars like the hotchkis.

I would then think about rims like the Advan RS pricey, but a 17x8 with some Falken Axenis would be sweet! Knock offs would be Rota G-force's.

just my thoughts.
