Mazdaspeed Intake Box FD question

Hi everyone, just want to see anyone here got Mazdaspeed Intake Box installed on their FD3S here? Will the Mazdaspeed Intake Box fit RE-Amemiya SMIC? Please let me know.

Here is a sample of the MS intake box + MS SMIC.


Anyone know if it will fit the RE-A SMIC or the GReddy SMIC?



Thanks

the ms smic has a slightly larger core than the re-amemiya smic, and I do believe they are the same width so it should fit without a problem. Only issue is the MS intake used will run about $1300+.

You can modify your stock intake to flow better than the Mazdaspeed

Thanks Byran. I also think it will fit too, but just want to make sure about it.

I found these sample as well:

Knight Sports Intake with GReddy SMIC:


Autoexe Intake with GReddy SMIC:
Mazdaspeed Intake Box FD question-bnwgu.jpg

I think these are good sample and indication that a Mazdaspeed Intake Box will fit RE-Amemiya or GReddy SMIC too....

The KS intake with greddy stock mount was NOT a direct bolt in, a lot of modifications had to be done to make it fit. I know the owner of that car.

It doesnt look that much different. In terms of fitment, its the same. The intake is still in the same spot and the premix tank is by the DS of the SMIC.

Thx Supernaut, thats the pic I want to share......

By the way, how many people have this MS intake box in their FD? How much better air flow compare to the stock intake box? Anyone got more info about this MS Intake box? I am really interested in getting one.

Supernaut, that's very nice, thanks!

Just one question, where did you get that intake hard pipe? Did it come with the Autoexe intake box? Or it's from RX7store.net those intake hard pipe?

Maybe it is just me, but aesthetically speaking, the autoexe looks much better than the ms intake.
