oh...i was just joking. a buddy with an evo wrote that for comedic purposes. didnt think anyone would actually take the "15whp gain" from a cold air box seriously.

I would've gone with a McD's styrofoam cup instead of the air filter, but that's just me.

Get a MazdaSpeed sticker and it will hadd another 40hp. But if you combine that with the ZoomZoom sticker that's a bonus of 80hp.

OK really lets get some realistic guesses and you can throw your car on the dyno at the meet and we'll see. It'll only cost $75 to prove you got a 20 RWHP increase. Cough cough, BS!!
