A few Questions

[hood]

Ive been looking around ebay for some mild proformance parts and i found a cheap cat-back made by tsudo? have anyone heard of them? Its the N1 version, wat is the quality like?

I also found lowering springs made by skunk 2 and ones made by Ebiach (sport lines). I think the skunk 2 will lower the car more but will i plow in the winter with either ones? Which one would be better?

Last but not least i found http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mazda-6-3-or-3S-Air-Intake-Part-Save-Gas-Add-HP-2Pc_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ42604QQihZ014QQitem Z330191470920QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

does this actually work or is it just a gimick? does anyone have one?

Thanks Guys

it's a gimmick, various versions have been discussed and debunked many times.

i've seen the tsudo exhausts....i know a few members on the mazda3forum has them....can't say i know too much about them because its not really one of the bigger/preferred brands...if you want cheap, try trubendz or a little more expensive magnaflow...they are very reasonably priced and offer good value/quality products....most people don't like the look of the tsudo exhauts...not on the mazda3 anyway.

I have prokit and am happy with them. I've already scrape with the prokits here and there, so i cant' imagine driving with anything lower.

skip on the 3rd item.

[S.F.W.]

yes that will fit.

try getting a price from one of our sponsors...., but if you do buy off ebay, make sure you submit a best offer, they usually sell for $150ish..

ive looked around most CAI's are over 280-300$$

will one of those mazdaspeed water protector things (whatever those things are called so no water gets into your air filter) fit on the F5? or will a K&N glove fit over the F5 filter?

would i scarp with these? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33582&viewitem=&item=330187476165&_trksid=p3907.m29

its says an average drop of 1.5 - 1.75, but on the chart it says it drops a mazda 3 by 1.3'' on the front and 1.2 on the back

Nextmod sells them for $250, and when he has a sale, he sells for $230ish.

Ebay is a good choice too, but just make sure you understand there very may well be taxes/duties/brokerage fees on top.

I've heard many times before on eBay, the Fujita F5 sells for $130-$145 when you submit a best offer...you can try that.

The Fujita F5 is great, go for it....as for the splash shield, its up to you, i'm using an outerwear instead made for the F5 filter and it costs $20, no problems so far. The splash shield should be universal. Injen makes them too.

The springs are a good deal, they are progressive springs from the look of the pic/listing. Scrape or not, depends on which figure we're going with. Let me put it this way. I have Eibach Prokits and i bottom out sometimes when driving in downtown Toronto and they are 1.2"

i dont have to worry about the fee cuz its being shipped to my cousins house in buffalo, then he just brings it over

Here's a good deal on a used intake. It's obo, so shoot him an offer.

thank but i already ordered one off ebay, for 160

can anyone find a good cat back exauhst on ebay for a Mazda 3 GT Sedan, cuz all the ones i find are for the hatch

[doughboyr6]

what r u looking for? are there particular names? i've seen/heard magnaflows and like them, and they are good value. I love my borla, but they are harder to come by and cost a bit more. Trubendz is super cheap and fairly good from what i've read.

with CAT
