Okay, cool...

This has probably been asked before, but I noticed all the aftermarket one do not have a place to attach a filter like the stock ones. The aftermarket just plug into the hose and have a niple for the vacuum to the IM. Do you guys think that is a concern, could it later lead into a problem.

I was thinking about disconecting by BOV from the intake hose, untill i get my new intake system. But then i heard that some cars have a mas air flow sensor and when the air is not put back into the intake system it is actually droping their power.
Not sure if the FD would have this prob, and how hard is this to do with limited tools and only some experience.

just let it sit there like in the picture... and our cars are speed density so you dont have to worry about running rich between shifts.

There are arguments for both locations and neither one is a clear winner. IMO, it doesn't matter all that much. I'm sure Mazda located it where it's at for a reason.
