welcome Ed!! glad to have ya! you can join the rest of us in being frustrated with the lack of MX-3's and therefore (performance) parts made for it. I love my car but it is really hard to find stuff for it. <P>Start looking at corksport.com They are about the largest supplier for the MX-3 I think there is. A good place to start is intake (PRM is supposed to be really nice, sold by Corksport). From there exhaust, Pacesetter (crap, they're like the K-Mart of performance products : ) and Mazdaspeed (great quality, if you can afford it) are the only two that make a cat-back system, that I know of. So your best bet is to get a universal muffler and put on a larger exhaust pipe (my personal route). That is a good start. If you have any questions or just wanna talk, hit up the post, i'll check back.<P>Hope this helps and good luck to ya.<P>Jordan

Sup, is an intake something i can do myself pretty easily or is it something that has to be done in a shop, and would just getting a new pipe give me benefits or getting a whole cat-back be better?<P>Peace<BR>Big_Ed<BR>94 Blaze Red RS

You can do the intake yourself. I would suggest having a friend supervise that has done it before, thats what I do. Otherwise I'm sure I would have blown up my car by now! : ) The cat-back is definately a better hp increase (each system is made for that car specifically), but you will have to pay for it! The Pacesetter system is about $300 (you get about $30 worth of product) and the Mazdaspeed is around $500+. I payed a little less than $300 for both my 2.5 inch pipe (from stock 2.0 inch) and the Hayame muffler. That is too much more pay for only a few more horsepower. I would definately suggest going universal and using the extra $200 on buying an intake!<P>Jordan
