Cold air intake?

Question

I have a Mazda 3 and was wondering if its worth buying a cold air intake. I know they cost around $250 and you only get around 7-15 horsepower. I also live in Georgia

Answer 1

idk how it is with smog laws in geargia.. but if its not illegal get one on ebay.. you can find them cheap.. one of the reasons some are expensive is because there smog legal, well atleast here in cali

Answer 2

its a start when modifying a vehicle. If you have access to a mandrel bender making a very nice intake is fairly easy

Answer 3

Just buy the K&N filter that fits in your stock airbox and you will see the same results and save yourself about $200.

Answer 4

on computer controlled vehicles its costs alot of money to make power. But thats 7-15hp you didn have before and improved fuel economy. In theory it will pay for itself but it will take some time. They also sound cool when you hit the throttle.
