#3 Intake
I made a video making a "Short Ram Intake" free: https://youtu.be/1-VR3WnSnIg
The AEM Cold Air Intake I have Installed on my car: https://youtu.be/-qIIZiqf_sg
K-Tuned Velocity Stack: https://youtu.be/ABzMmlNgAdU
https://k-tuned.3dcartstores.com/K-Tuned-Velocity-Stack-Combo_p_606.html
The Best Bang for the Buck is the combination:
Autoexe Silicone Hose($27) code PANDA @ mikstore
Generic MAF housing ($20)
Injen Interia Air Filter ($65)
2.0L& 4th Gen X-1013-BB
3rd Gen 2.5L X-1014-BB or X-1103-BB
Total $117
If you want a more convenient option the CS Short Ram intake will get you the closest performance.
#4 Secondary Cat Delete:
Here's a video where I install a Mazdaspeed 3 Cat back and do a second cat delete: https://youtu.be/198xCdidocs
The stock resonator helps maintain low RPM TQ in Non-Turbo Models so keep it.
None of the mod above requires a Tune to work.
#5 Header:
If you guy decide to go further in mods the best available header for the 3rd and 4th gens 2.0l is the Speedlab 4-2-1 & the best header available for the 2.5l is the RES. For the 2nd Gens there's the MSDS Headers
RES Exhausts: http://www.res-exhaust.com/0c76a562cf956914d1603c043de5390c.html
MSDS Headers: https://www.msdsinc.com/ho334.html
#6 Lightweight Wheels:
If you find wheels under 18lbs that you like, it will provide tremendous improvements in acceleration & braking
