It may sound cool but it's pulling in hot air from the engine compartment vs a CAI which brings in cooler air from down below. The only option for an SRI is to install a heat shield which will keep some of the engine heat from reaching the filter. You want to bring in cooler air, not hot.

The reason that air box looks like that is engineering. You basically removed all that hard thought-out engineering which not only suppresses intake sound but also take refractory waves that are coming off the intake and exhaust valves and canceling them out which increases your low end torque. There are box is actually a very well-designed cold air intake also so you replace that, which in effect reduces your power output, and sucks in some extra dirt, to get some rice he looks and some sound.

How would you lose Mpg for freer flowing intake? I'm thinking it's because we enjoy the sound, so we gun it more out of habit, and that's really why the Mpg suffers. Prove me wrong. I mean really, when is the last time you blipped the throttle of your STOCK car to impress someone at light...... NEVER! 🤣🤣🤣

[@anotheruniqueusername]

@@godzla69 more air means the car needs more fuel to maintain proper AFR

[@godzla69]

Ummmm, no not necessarily. Unless you tuned the engine CPU, the car will adjust for the optimal engine economy and performance based on the algorithms programmed. The MFA helps with this process. Especially when compensating for altitudes and other instances where air density may be effected, ie... Hot vs cold air (cold air being more dense). Experiment ; take a straw, try and take a deep breath through it, now try it again while slight pinching the straw. Which one was easier to breath through? No Brainer right? Your brain nows how much oxygen you need, but your body will worker harder trying to draw in that air through a restrictive opening, which means increased heart rate, I turn upping your metabolic rate (Mpg in your cars case). But if you easily draw air in, but it's heated vs being cold, that effects density therefore with out a heat shield any gains you may have achieved are negligible.

[@anotheruniqueusername]

@@godzla69 the whole point of an aftermarket intake is to increase airflow. if you're flowing more air the MAF will account for that and adjust fuel trims accordingly. more air = more fuel = worse economy. it's no surprise *whatsoever* that an aftermarket intake reduced fuel economy, especially in an economy car. i'm not reading the rest of whatever you commented because it has nothing to do with this conversation, but if you mentioned heat soak there was showings that a corksport short ram intake had negligible heat soak which immediately went away upon driving the car regardless.

[@MrDaftJustice]

How are the window things called? Loved them!

[@robtech341]

I get the breathing easier part, and I have used an APR CAI but it drew air from the front grill as well. Putting your air source inside a hot engine bay makes zero sense for cooler air.

[@DavidTMSN]

Not a huge fan of sport mode with the Mazda 3. Especially with the 2.5T engine. It hangs onto gears a lot longer but by the time you're progressing through the shifts it's already up to speed. With my kia forte gt line - the sport mode was actually useful for passing because of the lackluster cvt. But with the 6 speed auto it just doesn't make a whole lot of sense. The acceleration is actually quicker in normal mode plus it's it doesn't wear and tear as much on the engine.
