Interesting. It looks like multiple products may be needed to maintain the K&N filter. I'll stick with the traditional air filters in order to avoid hassles with the dealership regarding "modifications".

I don't think that it's the intake, but all of the shops say that it is. Never heard of an intake doing what it does to my car... I shouldn't have any blockage, the mass air flow code that it ran was too much air flow going through the system, and then the other day it ran a new code, which was a dealer code, and it was fuel too rich at idle. My buddy has a ranger and his truck did the exact same thing and pulled the exact same codes, and it was a sensor off of the egr valve. Ford fixed his truck, but no one wants to work on mine better yet try to fix it...and since it's so new, there isn't a haynes manual out for it yet, so I can't really test it with an ohms meter if I don't have the correct numbers to go by. Any suggestions!!!

Another option is to take the bottoms tube off and use it as a short ram intake. Not true cold air as they say since its not totally under the engine, but would get it up higher.

I wonder if these kits will work/fit with the GS models where there is no yellow lens and if the connectors are all the same as with the GT and Sport models?

Anyone tried weathertech all season mats? by jacks33177

They are only $20 more than the official set of 4 mazda all season mats. The front passenger mat looks like it might have a little bit extra rubber on the top right hand corner. Other than that it looks like they might fit pretty good. I have an 07 mazda3.
 
Anyone tried these yet (or found a cheaper alternative:)

Get mazdaspeed3 GT, or Sport and install extras by nethole

I'm looking for navigation and good sound (and I'd like satellite and IPOD, and aux-in if possible).
 
The GT with Nav costs about 3400-3800 more than a Sport. I think I've priced out an AVIC D3 (GPS HU), good speakers [aka better than Bose], amps, and installation for less than 3000.
 
Has anyone else tried this approach? If so, were you able to have it integrated with the steering controlls, and did you lose anything? (LCD clock?)
 
And more importantly, was it worth the time and effort?

This is what SEMA is all about. I've seen all kinds of customized cars. You'd probably need a different steering wheel with all the buttons on it and integrating it with everything would probably cost some real time and money.
Why everything has to be integrated is beyond me. A Portable Nav system is almost as good and a world cheaper and audio systems have a lot of aftermarket options. I'm not into audio at all I use the stock CD player since I prefer to listen to my car.
But aftermarket is possible, steering wheel is another matter, possibly doable but expensive.
If it's what you really want then just do it.
