[jdanielsg]

Is it going for $225 + taxes?

I may be interested I am also looking at K&N CCA could you take detailed pics so we can see the quality?

And do you know how is it different with other CAIs? does it not go as low or angles differently?

[FLIPDADY]

No pics yet b/c the intake is still on backorder.

Just the original one in the catalog. My guess is that the design will change with the final product.

[bluntman]

I think this item is going the way of the LED tails for the sedan...and Duke Nukem Forever...and the Phantom gaming console...vapourware. Hopefully it won\'t become abandonware.

[Broli]

about the CAI

Flippy
u think the design is changing significantly??

what do u think,

like different bends and filter placement?
ie, like the injen?


well, just curious if u had any ideas!!
??

[bubba1983]

can a mod please PLEASE clean up this thread and delete these posts...its getting reallly annoying...


back to teh CAI watch....
T minus how long joe?

[RedRaptor]

You\'re quite a piece of work, Daniel. ;)

EDIT: Joe, how many CAIs are you going to get in for the first order? I have an urge to buy something but I don\'t want a CAI if its going to give me CEL issues.

[bluntman]

Thread pruned.

[TheLouch]

Originally posted by RedRaptorI have an urge to buy something but I don\'t want a CAI if its going to give me CEL issues.

That\'s a good point... has anyone seen any info regarding Mazdaspeed CAI\'s and the dreaded CEL?
I hope that the Mazdaspeed parts will be much more compatible with Mazda vehicles than the rest of the aftermarket upgrades. But then again, the MS brochure lists the CAI as an \"Orange Accessory\", i.e. \"sold as-is without any warranty of any kind\" and \"not to be operated on public highways\"... :sarc


And speaking of the brochure, it mentions that the CAI is \"polished and powder coated aluminum tubing\". Is there a selection of the powder-coat colors or does it only come in \'plain aluminum\'?

[SABIO]

who gets a cel from a CAI?

anyone?

[TheLouch]

Don’t look at me – I’m just a newbie when it comes to performance upgrades… :D

But from what I’ve been reading up on CAI’s, most of CEL’s are caused by poor MAF sensor positioning, which in turn can cause abnormal readings. In the extreme cases the sensor might be registering either zero airflow reading at WOT or massive flow at idle – both can cause the ECU to assume that there is something wrong with the throttle and throw a CEL at you.
...or so does the Internet lore claim :sarc

That actually begs the question – are there any MS CAI’s installed on 3s right now, i.e. “gray imports” and such? Or is the rest of the World still waiting on their CAI’s just like us up in the Great North?

[swales]

In the last 10 years of owning pretty much every brand of CAI\'s out there, I\'ve NEVER had a CEL on any of my cars because of it.

[FLIPDADY]

Still awaiting the release of the MS CAI, right now the only details of the part are in the catalog.

[CoolColombian]

I get CELs b/c of my CAI, when its been raining, or when the car is cold in the morning and i rev it up, even if i let it warm up, sometimes happen, TheLouch stated right.

EDIT: Sorry to get out of topic. :p

[FLIPDADY]

The intake has passed CARB certification so we should be seeing them soon!

Thank you for you patience.:)

[cyberscorpi0]

I’m interested, with out a doubt.

Joe, will pre-paying help the cause at all? i.e. will it allow you to order more CAIs at a time? If so, I work close enough to MoT to drop in after work to leave a payment.

Cheers!

Just contact Dave \"ThePartsStore\" for updates.

[bluntman]

Besides, by the time he gets back the CAI should arrive.

[Broli]

haha

he sets up a thread that he will update everyday . . .
and then he goes on vacation!

lol, a true filipino!
haha

:p

j/k have a good trip

and lets see who can access some insider info while he is away!

[FLIPDADY]

I\'ll see if I can pick one up stateside.

[Broli]

just curious?
if they were fixing problems with the CAI
how has it been available in the states?

[DrunknFoo]

Any news on this?

[bluntman]

When FLIPSPEED returns from vacation next week or unless ThePartStore updates us, whichever comes first.

[Jeff-TheBiz]

Just checked downstairs,

As of today, the ETA should be last week of May or first week of June.

Please keep in mind that Mazda has \'updated\' their delivery dates for these parts several times. :sarc

But right now, thats what I know..

[cyberscorpi0]

Sit down or I\'m turning this car around and going back home.

[Broli]

so
a
bluff!

the car never turns around!!!

[eman124]

is it true that if you purchase the CAI and let mazda install it for you, then it will be covered under your warranty?

thanks

[bluntman]

Yes.

[FLIPDADY]

Also if you install it yourself it will be covered under the parts warranty 1 year/20,000km.

or

Include the CAI with the purchase of your car and it carries the same 3 year/80,000km.:)

[Broli]

clarify please?

if i install myself 1 year warranty
if i let mazda install it will be warrantied for the rest of my warranty?


or same shit and i should just do it myself??

[FLIPDADY]

he either

2) just wants to whor3 it up some more ;)

it\'s hard to figure out which one it is :p

[Broli]

if CAI is purchased when the car is purchased
is different than
if CAI is purchased after and installed by mazda,

it seems similar to me!
and that is what i understood b4, but now i was a little confused
because of the 2 examples put forth when i thought of an extra case
i applied it to the model in hand, and it seemed that it did not
fit perfectly either way . . .

u dig mang!



i have not need to whor3 it up yo!
and not my fault if there are unclear things posted yo!!

The intake carries the same warranty as the vehicle if purchased and installed at the time of your new vehicle purchase.

that doesn\'t answer my question
just puts be back to the same thing i was saying b4!

hypothetical
if i were to purchase the CAI, have it installed at mazda, would it have the 1 year warranty
or be fully warrantied for the rest of my warranty?
it is not on a new car purchase

i am gonna guess that its the one year, thats what it sounds like now??



and no Blunty!!!

we ain\'t there yet!


:p

[FLIPDADY]

Just 1 year brotha!

We\'re not there yet.

The way I see it the reason for the delay is Mazda wants to get the part right to avoid any other problems down the road.

[DrunknFoo]

In a way, the wait is a good thing, (for me at least). :)
I think I\'ll start looking for rims or an exhaust, then when this comes out, I should have the cash lying around to buy it when it is ready.

[bluntman]

From the other forum:

The part number will change from the one listed in the Mazdaspeed brochure.

Could be a ZC DOHC motor. Pretty stout little motor that\'s fairly inexpensive. Keep in mind that if it is a ZC there aren\'t a lot of engine mods available like there are for D and B series motors.

[FLIPDADY]

Sounds like a ZC and like The Professor said good luck finding parts.

Personally I would go for a D16 before a ZC.....tons more go fast goodies available for cheap (not to mention spare parts just in case). Of course if you can afford it go for the B16 or some sort of an LS/VTEC set-up for serious power down the road.

If you go the D16 route, you could get the motor and a turbo kit all for about $2K....all you\'d need to pay on top is install (unless you can do that on your own).

Say no to the ZC, very underpowered with no mods. B16A is a great motor for a 91 model civic, if its a 93-95 Civic i\'d go with GSR or if possible ITR.

Maybe in the next couple of years I will change the engine to B16 with Turbo. For the meantime I will do the exterior Mods.

I have 2 kits right now but TheLouch and MAZDA Kitten has first dibs unless they back out.

I can lend you my jacks pare! The new dry filter has to be cleaned every 20,000km which in your case blunty is like 2 years.:p

We are doing an install today on a Mazda Canada employee\'s 3. I\'ll take lots of pictures.

Sooooo tempting! Ahh... I\'ll wait until next month!

Complete the package Thomas!;)

[FLIPDADY]

Just drove the car we installed the intake on and it sounds great! Plus the acceleration is a lot better than stock.

I\'m gettin\' one for sure.

[ElPietro]

Hey Joe, I have to ask a question that has been asked a few times already in this thread.

I know it\'s one year warranty, or I believe you said if the car was new it came with the full 3 year or 5 year warranty.

I was wondering if there is a grace period on what is considered new, or if that\'s done as soon as you drive off the lot?

Just wanted to know since my car is a week old, if I got this now or when you get the next batch, if it would only be the one year or 3 year. If it were the 3 year then I\'d think a lot harder on this and make a decision asap.

Thanks!


Oh, and could you tell me what the installation cost would be at the dealership?

Great news! I\'m still in, Joe - hopefully I\'ll be able to pick it up some time in the next week. Perhaps a Stubby as well ;)

I was just informed that any Mazdaspeed parts carry their own warranty which I will post on a sticky.

So regardless of when you purchased the Mazdaspeed parts you have to go by the warranty guidelines. No 3yr./80,000km even when purchased at time of delivery.

Labour for the intake is 1.5hrs. $132.30. You could always do the install yourself.

I posted the new warranty code for the CAI on the first page of this thread.

Hey Joe,

Add me to the waiting list please. (Already sent you a pm with contact info)

What\'s this about a rubber mount whodilly/Joe? Was a part missing from the package? huhhuh? what what? Did I miss something?

Thanks.
:)

Also you mentioned 04-05, 06 should fit right? =P

[KC-01]

Hi Joe,

Please also add me to the waiting list for the Mazdaspeed CAI.
Thanks.

BTW here\'s a PDI file of the install instructions. :)

[TheLouch]

Finally found some time this morning to head down to MoT to pick up the CAI and install it. Correct me if I’m wrong, but this is quite possibly the first installed MS CAI in the GTA area... not that I’m claming \"First Post\" bragging rights or anything :p

I didn’t bother with any pictures and in-depth walk-thoughts, as the forums are already filled to the brim with those, so just a couple of comments:

The installation was quite easy – about an hour and a half, including jacking up the car and taking the wheel off. Except for a rather odd Imperial-sized :sarc Allen key needed for the MAF sensor bolts, no special tools were required. I also didn’t find the infamous \"Third Bolt of Death\" on the lower resonator all that hard – once I managed to get my hands into the opening a small box wrench did the job quite well.

The only oversight I think is the position of the \"breather tube\" (which I think is for the PCV). You need to push the CAI quite far into the silicone pipe for this breather tube to line up with PCV line it’s supposed to be connected to. Then again, I believe this is the only CAI to have a PCV connection on the first place, is it not?

The sound is quite nice, quite similar to the rest of the CAI’s, I’m sure. Very subtle at low RPM, low throttle, but produces a very respectable roar when you get heavy on the pedal. Seems like a perfect mod for anyone looking for better engine ‘feedback’ and a slight performance increase, but with out all the draw backs of an exhaust. Cruising in 5th at 3~4k RPM on a highway the CAI almost sounds stock, where as a Cat-back already starts to drone ...but to each his own.

Ivan notice your gas guage dropping as you hammer the gas pedal?;)

In conjunction with the Mazdaspeed exhaust the car sounds sweet.

Btw, the intake I installed was scratched up pretty good.

Must agree with the sound with both CAI and Exhaust, just had my GT-GFX delivered with both parts last friday!!!

[Iceblaza]

Hey Flippy,

Ill take one of those when they come in.

Just let me know, and ill come out to see ya.

Thanks in advance!

Paul.

[Cero21]

On one of the pages in this thread the guy from M3F installed one on his 2.0.

The only thing you have to worry about though is warranty. The kit is made for the 2.3 not the 2.0. So you would basically be buying the CAI with no warranty.

[Mazda3_06]

ok i want one can you add me to the list please
and let me know when u have some available

does it fit just as well as the 2.3 for the 2.0?

[DrunknFoo]

add me to the list once you confirme there are no major fitment/other issues with the cai =P

Thanks Joe.

[Iceblaza]

Hey Flip,

Your eta still for the 4th? How many do you expect to be getting?

Thanks

Paul.

but, they are so close to me, that i need to keep in good relations with them,

lol

[bomb1977]

I\'m too lazy to read 10 pages of info.....

I have the 2.0 in my mazda 3 GS, Will this intake work for me? Or am I better off with a K&N Typhoon?

I have a connection at my local mazda dealership, can I just walk in and buy one? Or will I have to do the secret handshake with my uncle?

so u might wanna think twice about it

lol

i honestly don\'t know about the 2.0L
but in terms of buying it, talk to flippy and u can get a great deal!

[eman124]

Okay then July 20 as of today.

[SpeedyG]

Hey Flip,

Are you going to get enough CAIs for all the people on the waiting list at that time (July 19 or 20...)or the ones that were added later on will have to wait some more?

Thanks.

[FLIPDADY]

I got it covered!;)

[FLIPDADY]

Current backorder release date is July 27.

[FLIPDADY]

Good news I\'m receiving 6 CAI\'s either today or tomorrow.

This is really good news. Can I pick mine on Saturday (that is if they do come in...)? I guess it is too late to schedule an install for Saturday at MoT for the intake if indeed it will arrive?:(

Yeah we\'ll have to wait and see. All I know right now is that the CAI\'s are coming to me it\'s just a matter of when.

Not to sure about a Saturday install. It get\'s pretty crazy here on Saturday\'s.

Joe,

If there are more prepaid buyers than available CAI\'s, how long would the wait be for the next shipment? Or is this not the case at this time?

[DrunknFoo]

I think there is a waiting list. Regardless if you paid it off already, you\'ll probably have to wait your turn. =P

I\'m only saying this because if you do get the cai, I\'ll be hanging in the dust. =D

Anyway joe, I\'ll probably set up an apt on monday or tuesday with the service dept to get this baby installed. Thanks for the updates.

[eman124]

woah~

finally it\'s arriving..

just 1 question... if i get MS CAI installed from dealer... will it affect insurance??

[justin]

Originally posted by royroy

Regardless who installs it (you, dealer, shop, friend, monkey, etc), its not very likely to affect your insurance. However, if your car is stolen and the part is damaged/taken/car is not recovered, and you don\'t tell your insurance company you installed this aftermarket part, it\'s not likely they will reimburse you. Best thing to do is call another insurance company and find out by talking to a broker.

ummmm crap. I think I pulled a Justin.

Does this intake fit on a 2006 Mazda 3 5 Spd?

Edit: Only reason I ask is because the installation instructions says it fits 04-05 Mazda 3 2.3L.

I had the same concern and this is what Joe came across...

\"throttle body part numbers for 04 and 06 and they\'re different. The only parts that are the same are the intake hose, MAF, and the resonator.\"

Now go and make it fit!! I\'m going in tomorrow to have the service dept install it, I\'ll let you know if there are any complications.

Hey guys,

Picked mine up today... but mine looks like it has a dent in it... or is it supose to be there. On the end where the maf sits and the hose connectects the end looks more like a D with the flat side of the D bent in. I dont have a web cam on me till tomorrow but if anyone else\'s is like this let me know.

Sounds like yours was damaged in transit. I would take it back to where you bought it from Paul.

[FLIPDADY]

Well I currently have 2 left so Cero21 and KC-01 I put your TM3 handles on the boxes.

Still have 1 coming in any day for johnnychiu.

It was a pain in the ass to get that lower resonator box out. If you are going to do a DIY job, you\'ve been warned. We (my friend and I) had to use an air wrench to reach up there and get the bolt out.

However, once you have gotten past that part, its smooth sailing.

[FLIPDADY]

Just finished DrunknFoo\'s CAI install on his 06. The only difference between the 04/05 models to the 06 model\'s MAP sensor is not located in the same area.

So basically 1 less sensor to bolt onto the intake pipe.

[DrunknFoo]

It sounds really nice. Butt dyno... low end torque gains \'visibly\' noticable.

errr my seat was pulled up right to the steering wheel!!! lol

mine is the same.. its very slight right? i got it from elsewhere coz I couldnt wait for it but it sounds the same.. the part thats going to be nect to the TB right? i think its made that way so the rubber hose can go on.... if not it will be too tight.. it doesnt make sense that mine n urs bought from diff places have the same issue :) everyone else pls check? thanks

[Iceblaza]

Hey,

I took it back to the dealership and they said yes it was a dent in it... They gave me another one, but it still seemed to be ever so slightly dented... but definately not as much as before. I think this may be a manufacturing defect or how they ship.

Paul.

[justin]

Could have happened during the shipping process.

[jdanielsg]

If I can, I will take pics and post. Anyone else notice this?
