Help me with my 1.6L...

Would you guys give me some suggestions as to what I should do with my car? I mean i don't really know about these thing but I'd like to know much about my car as I possibly can. And I'd like to hear what I can or can't do to it. Thanks.

LOL. I like how you use that term, "just get your wallet" and it's quite obvious. But what I was sayin' was that I'd like to know which parts are good or recommended for the pro, or in my case, the 323.

Well I want to go with both but I have to say that I definitely want to go with performance first. I'm goin' to get a K&N air filter, but as for other stuff, I don't know what to do or go with.

Ok that sounds cool, but the injen cold air intake and the K&N air filter are 2 completely different things right? I mean I know about the air filter but I don't know about this cold air intake thing (I'm new to all this so please bear with me). And I wanted to have a dual exhaust system, would you still suggest I go with mazdaspeed? And what do you mean by "more fun than tuna"?

do you not consider tuna fun? with the cold air intake it will give you more hp than a k&n filter and thw dual exhaust thing would mean you need to modify your bumper and more than likely make you loose hp. with the mazdaspeed exhuat it looks good and sounds good and gives hp. you could also do a custom exhaust system with a single muffler 2.25" pipping and a universal high flow cat and that would sound and hp too.

Ok zadowman, I'm still tryin' to understand some things here cause I am confused. What you're sayin' is that I should forget the K&N air filter and go with the cold air intake? And as for the tuna, wel I have no idea what you mean. I just know that's it's a fish you eat. lol
