Intake
I need some suggestions on cold air intakes for the mazda 3. I just got hooked up with some more sponsors, so any suggestions on which to get?? I've been thinking about one of the Injen series intakes...

i understand, but i go to school in springfield, Mo and the sewers are terrible! whenever it rains i constantly go through puddles that shoot water to the side like a boat! Does this change your point on the bypass or not? thanks

No it doesn't change mine and I'm sure Mike's--he lives in hurricane alley.
The only way you are going to cause any engine damage is by submerging your filter, not splashing water off to the side. Don't forget you have the plastic inner fender well that also helps protect the filter.

the BPV negates ANY power gains from the intake
and as Gary said, I live in florida. You don't think water gets bad here ???

Hey guys I just joined the forums, little new to all of this.
This is my first car that I've actually been excited to put money into, or actually worth my time.
I am looking at getting the K&n Typhoon kit for my car. Does anyone disagree with this purchase or think its a waste of my time?
