how is an intake tuneable
Did I waste my money?
I just odered a Typoon K&N. I was told that it was the better of the two for my 05 Mazda6i. Can someone help ASAP. Should I change my order?

From what I read, the only tuneable CAI is the CPE MAF customizer. It has it's own system that allows for tuning unlike others. Do a search and you'll find it. Definetly gonna upgrade, but I'll get the use out of the K&N.how is an intake tunable

Anything other than CPE is really a placebo effect.
Go for the Injen CAI for something noticeable.
With any SRI, from what I've tried, you just get a whole lot of noise.

as i know AEM gives the highest PEAK hp for the 4 banger... CPE give the highest overall average gain...
the big claim with the K&N intake is that is the LEAST likely to throw a CEL out of the current intakes, minus the CPE, which is an intake on steroids...
like many have said, there's CPE and the rest.. for the 4 banger, save some cash and go with one of the rest...

You are awesome. Excellent way to represent your service! Which branch are you in again? Lets see about not getting fired.No chance of being fired. Military... I got a 4 cycl. I got Felix, a guy from autopartswarehouse.com on live chat telling me that K&N boosts HP to 17. Here... This is our conversation:

All of the CAI on the market will yield increase power of stock. And even though CPE offer the biggest increase remember in most cases it also cost twice as much. I have a Mazdaspeed CAI for my 6s which gives a gain of around 10 hp. I know that CPE can give gains around 20 hp. But I paid half the price for my CAI compared to CPE. I'm completely satisfied with it. Also with any intake throttle response should be better and you should definately feel the extra power on the butt dyno. Don't think its a placebo effect. That would be buying an exhaust system and saying you felt an increase in power.Anything other than CPE is really a placebo effect.

lol @ the felix chat ... SRI's are not good because it starts sucking hot air in from the engine bay ... unless you are in canada lol ..
in all this talk no one mentioned the fujita intake......i personally am satisfied with this intake...here ya go f5air.com

I wonder if it ever occurred to anybody that Felix was a programmed chat robot, not an actual salesman. How many times must one see "I am checking the information for you! Please bear with me..." Anyway, with the 4-cyl, I'd go with the Mazdaspeed CAI as well. I went that route a couple months ago on my car and the 6 just screams at mid-range to high RPMs. The beautiful part about this intake is the fact that you can still have your car perform at its original quietness and no one will suspect a thing until you open the car up. Coming from a highly-modified Hyundai Tiburon GT that was quite an impractical daily-driver, I'm loving the behavior of my 6i. I'm sure there are mods out there to make it even faster, but I just appreciate the car for what it is and that would be a somewhat grown-up, attractive handling machine.

Wow I just came from a modified Tiburon GT, both the car I have now and the Tiburon GT's where ATX but it is hard to get use to the power difference.
My comment was misunderstood. PM'd...You are awesome. Excellent way to represent your service! Which branch are you in again? Lets see about not getting fired.

On the 6i, the AEM has the best gains for the money. If money is not an issue, get the CPE so you won't have to worry about CELs.
Not sure if this was meant for all 6i's, but it's not the money, it's the fact I already have the K&N in my 6 and I plan to get the use out of it before I upgrade. Yeah, I agree the CPE is the way to go and I'll have one soon.On the 6i, the AEM has the best gains for the money. If money is not an issue, get the CPE so you won't have to worry about CELs.
