I'm assuming you mean a 1.6L Civic?
j/k
Just to get some info first:
What car do you drive?
Are you looking for an air filter, or an intake system?
By carbon, you mean you want it in carbon fibre I'm assuming?

Can someone confirm they made the Mazda3 with a 1.6? I didn't think they had, 2.0 and 2.3 only...
Anyways, if you're looking for an intake, PM member 'Kargoboy'. He sells Simota intakes for much less than you would spend on something like Injen. Everyone seems to love them, so that's your best bet.

However, after driving a black 2006 Speed6 DISI Turbo with only 9k AND an owner who put in a magnaflow catback and CAI, I'm killing myself to justify trading my 3S in for it - it screams with absolutely no torque steer, and I tried but could not force any of the wheels to even get light. Dealer asking price $22,000. Can I say no?

I would need to see a dyno to agree with any of those HP gains you're claiming. 4-6hp from spark plugs is pretty far fetched imo.
i/h/e maybe make 20-30 hp max. If you have new plugs and i/h/e, you most likely run about 170-180 horsepower. Unless you have a dyno run that says otherwise.
As for the MazdaSpeed6, it sure is a quick car, and the AWD really helps control the power. Go for it if you can justify the cost!

The Mazda 3 2.3L auto makes 156 hp. Getting it to 200 hp would not take over $1200, IME. Starting cheap: Denso iridium plugs (+4-6hp for only $60), CAI, Magnaflow Catback exhaust, and a street legal header should give the auto at least a +50 hp for about $1000-$1400. Mazda 3 post-project whp = 206. That's how I did it anyway.

No, it puts down 120-130 at the wheels
you're talking crank
And no, all of that won't give 50hp lulz
like 30 at most
still at 160 wheels, whereas a turbo will put you at 200-220
kbai.

That said, I trust your opinion that the above mods would not meet my projected 50hp at the wheels. And I assume you're saying the project mods would give 20-30 hp at the wheels? So, you're projecting +20-30 hp at the wheels? (Could you estimate the added crank hp?) - the problem for me is my projections (hp/weight ratio, projected added 1/4 speed, 0-60 etc.) are based on manufacturer, reviewers, commonly cited hp numbers, which I'm sure are all crank hp, no?). Thus, unless I misunderstand, it's more helpful for me (though I'm sure not as accurate) to deal with crank hp #'s. Is the Dingo making sense?
Anyway, since a turbo kit is out of the question for my 3s (every tech, and the mazdaspeed techs have told me I'd almost have to do an engine swap to do it the way I want it (maintain durability/longevity/reliability) on the stock ford 2.3L engine.
Thanks for the corrections. (So a Mustang GT doesn't make 300hp at the wheels and a Shelby doesn't make 500hp at the wheels?)

Help Dingo's Stock 3s
I'll change the premise of the original post a bit.
I have an 04 3s manumatic 4 speed. No engine mods (yet). What (specify brands/dynos if available) will deliver the most whp bang for the buck? Your budget is $1600 installed.
I appreciate all informed decisions.
