Hmmm I was just thinking...would it work to hook up an intercooler kit with CAI? Or would it just be a waste of money? I can think in theory it would work since you would be cooling the air and all....
Still won't work, your not gonna flow enough air to make a diffrence, your better off trying diffrent methods to keep the air cool. search around the forum for it.What about a small one like an OEM intercooler from a 180SX, thats less than half the size of a regular one....

If you buy that, please go kill yourself. We are trying to avoid being called ricers...An intercooler wouldn't work because it works differently than a CAI. This could work but you would have to fab it for the Mazda6. And I'm not sure if you would gain any power from it.

You deserve a nice hard slap, what makes you almighty sayer of what is good looking and what isnt? I can respect opinions and such, but statements like that just make you look bad and make you sound like a damn kid. IMO I actully like the looks of that, and I am sure there are others also...so grow up some and keep dumb-ass comments like that to yourself :nono: I know you think your a hotshot and all...but your really not...sorry to break the news to youIf you buy that, please go kill yourself.

It makes me look like a kid, which is fine because I am a kid. I never used the words "It doesn't look good." It is completely rice thought. Rice = Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements. It is exactly that. A CAI that is designed to look like an intercooler to make other people think that your car is faster than it is; that my friend is the definition of rice. I guess the Tokyo pollution is clogging your brain.You deserve a nice hard slap, what makes you almighty sayer of what is good looking and what isnt?

That is because people are stupid. I think that most people should join the voluntary human extinction movement.well, if you look closely at the pic you will see it has a plastic shield in front of the filter. i agree it would be a waste ... but i feel that a SRI is a waste on this car and you still see members buying those.

Ya you don't need it AT ALL unless it with a turbo. They're used with a turbo bc it gets very hot via the exhaust gases and in turn heats up the intake air. Since your intake air is not being heated by anything (for the most part) its not going to get any colder. I've seen people use dry ice packs infront of the intake to get the air colder but that was just for racing as it doesn't last very long.there is no need for an intercooler if you dont have anything to cool. an IC is meant to bring down charge air temps to ambient, but without a turbo, the temp pre-throttle body is already close to ambient (w/ cai of course).
an IC is a crossflow heat exchanger. if the temp differences of the flows are high, such as the charge air temp being 150 degrees and the ambient being 70, then the heat transfer rate is the greatest. if there is hardly a difference, i.e. charge air at 75, ambient at 70, then the heat transfer rate is very small, and thus, very little cooling will be done if any.
adding an IC to a NA car will hurt performance by creating restriction and pressure drop as well as front end weight. it is worse than rice.
