Well most people on here do I/H/E or Intake, Header, Exhaust. This is the most common setup right now for the new SI's. The after market parts for this car are not alot. However there are many pro's and con's to the ones that are out. If you ask whats the best intake, most will say the x intake. The only prob is for some it gives big gains but for others it loses alot of hp. Others for intake are the Injen SRI or CAI, the Fujita SRI and the AEM Intake. The only prob with the AEM is that some claim that it turns the engine light on. There are a few different cat backs out which im sure you know coming from a 240. After you have gotten atleast 1 bolt on. You can get the Hondata reflash, which raises your redline and gives you better mid range power. Other than that I think there is a turbo out for the fg2 and fa5's.

Now that I read what you posted I see you have a 08, The 08's dont have to much specically for the 08's. But for what Rico said and what others said you can put 06+ parts and shouldnt have a prob.

2 lower your car I would suggest getting teins cuz thats whats being used by others however some say the Teins are cr4p so I dunno what you want.

look at the date of when this was originally posted. I doubt the OP is still tracking this thread.

EDIT: I've also been caught by threads like this.....why the hell do people bump SERIOUSLY old threads

First off that was an even lamer post than your original one. Second Mazdaspeed3forums.net is the best forum around and I cant let you dog that ****. Finally your a lame cuz you try to come back with lame *** **** like the quote above me.

Seriously I dont even have to think of a comeback for that. That post says it all

WHo gives a **** how many Swaps you did or how many EG's you had before I was in high school. One you dont know me and two you dont seem to credible. Your dumb enough to post in a year old thread so you must not be too smart.

LOL now that I keep reading your posts your such a lame ha ha.

"The lame Mazdaspeed 3 forums are calling" lol

EPIC

as already mentioned, it doesn't matter how many swaps you've done. anybody with half a brain can do a motor swap on a honda (you're a great example). if you didn't care about what we said to you or about you, you wouldn't have made this post, but you did. did you even graduate high school?
