Performance
Installed COBB SRI. I can really tell a difference which is funny because all the cars I've installed a air intake setup have not made any difference.
The Greddy BOV is a very nice welcome compared to the cheap plastic stock BPV. I had to get the adaptore flange and recirculation fitting so it would work on my MS3.
HKS Hi-Power CBE. The exhaust is a pre-coated full 75mm piping and a 115mm offset stainless steel exhaust tip. The install was very simple and took about 2 hours which includes removal of the stock CBE.
This shows a comparison between the new and old setups
**UPDATE (Replaced the CorkSport Midpipe with the StreetUnit one. See below for details) My new CorkSport Midpipe. This is very nicely made and notice an increase in performance from the start. worth every penny.
Stock vs. CorkSports
**UPDATE I had a really bad exhaust leak with the CorkSport Test Pipe and after trying everything I ended up getting a new StreetUnit Test Pipe. This thing is built very well and I love the design. I could tell while installing it I wouldn’t have the same issues I did with my CorkSport one. I was a dream to install. I now have zero exhaust leaks and am very happy with this choose.
I like how they flared the end to act like a gasket. Very cool idea and looks to work very well.
I picked up a COBB Access Port which is a must.
Cobb just release a new updated that adds dataloging which is really cool. Below is a 3rd gear pull using 103 stage1+SF bata map.
Installed a set of Iridium IX One Step Colder plugs and this is what my stock plugs looked like after 17,000 miles. From the Left is 1,2,3 and 4th cylinder.
Not a performance mod but really didn’t have anywhere else to put this. It’s a Saikou Michi Co Stage 2 Oil Catch Can. The install was easy thanks to aaronc7 on mazdaspeedforums.org . the output from the crank case to the input on the OCC then out of the OCC to a PCV then to the intake. Really that easy. I'm thinking about getting another for my valve cover breather.
This is the PCV I used along with a few other parts.
Installed my Cobb Turbo Inlet Pipe which is very nice compared to the stock pancake version. I think there's 5-10 more horsepower or so I'm told. Turbo spools a little faster and it a little louder. It was an easy install and completes my intake side.
