CAI / SRI or Ram Air ?

[YepYep]

Hi everyone! I am new here with my 08 Mazda Hatch Back.

These 3 type of air intake, which one did you installed? I installed a SRI on my last car, it's great and I like the sound too. (not chose the CAI is because I am afraid of water something get into the engine too). But I want to try the Ram Air too... anyone have this installed?! how's it feel?

I am fresh new here... would anyone tell me who's the guy named "Peter"? looks he has a great shop especially for us~ ^_^

I been running a CAI for almost a year now, no problems, no cels, and drove through pouring raining days

I purchased the K&N Typhon it's a two piece kit, can be SRI one piece or CAI both pieces when the cars out of warranty I'll remove the lower stock intake and make it CAI for summer maybe switch it back to SRI for winter,slush and snow. If the motor blows up right back to stock, half an hours to an hours work.:chuckle

My car came with the K&N Typhoon intake on it already and I noticed it was 2 pieces (I had to fix the connecting piece as it was coming off) but I never really thought about it being both SRI and CAI. I find that a CAI is perfectly fine in winter...you're more likely to get a CEL/Hydrolock in spring/summer/fall when the precipitation is water (rain) and not snow. I've only ever had problems in heavy rain, never in even the heaviest or deepest snow.

Looks nobody uses the Ram-Air... From this website "http://www.autoexe.co.jp/english/car/Axela%28BK%29/bk02.html" on Cardinal's thread in Appearance, this site have lots of great stuff for M3, but it's in Japan...

And I want to know where did you guys get your mod parts for your ride? I mean locally. My last SRI was bought from the states. But while shipped by UPS to me, I was so bad luck that the Canadian custom charged me a 100% tax for it. Since that, I am afraid to buying any big size package from the states.

I've gotten all my mod parts from Peter at Nextmod, and I'll probably get all of them from there in the future as well. Great service and great prices

I visited Peter's website, I thought he only doing body kits... isn't it true? I think right now I will need an air intake upgrade first~

i think Peter can order pretty much anything for you, just pm him what you want

i had a CAI on my car for 2 yrs now, high end rpms are faster but SRI has faster throttle response, it really depends on what you want

Yeah Peter does pretty much everything, I got my rims, tires, lugs, SRI, and Prokits from there

I have the MS CAI for over 2 years and no problems whatsoever. :)
