theres a cold air for the motor(a little pricey in my opinion, i personally would just buy an ebay kit, and get a good filter.

sweet ! that would be great i already have the filter part from my old car just need the pipe i think its called for the intake i was goin to my friends at auto glass spec and they cant get me the stuf i want so ... lol

there is a cheap ebay kit that would work fine, i had a kit from the same people for my eclipse, figured i would upgrade to a K&N and i could tell no difference.

Here are couple sites to search thru...My best advice is quality parts they cost more upfront but make up for it long run

This site could probably give you more advice and might be able to find some good deals on parts

Injen exhaust sounds pretty sweet on one of those

do u kno if theres a way to put a turbo or supercharger on this car

whered you go to get exhaust?

and yes you can turbo pretty much any car.

if i am not mistaken, some of the mazda 6's came turbocharged??

even if they didnt, heres a link to a turbo kit

and Ben, with the intake, i figured the same thing, but i noticed NO difference at all..

do you have the 2.3 I4 or the 3.0V6??

thanks you guys this is alot of help =) Hey ben i think your the guy that did my intake on my malibu at your old shop

yup

mines the 4 cylinder one =( 3.0 i think

ive went to midas thats where i got my old exhaust and meineke and few others they look at me like im dumb and just plain rude when i tell them wat i want then tell me oh they dont make thenm anymore

4-cylinder = good if you want to BOOST.

lol well thats a plus

I got the hook up for HIDs if your interested. 40 a kit, 5000k, 8000k, 10000k, 12000k, and 30000k. I can install them and have a limited warranty on them as well. Both greddy and hks have universal mufflers that don't sound ricey but are pricey.

nik, where the fuck you get them so cheap? i was thinking about buying the plastic housings so i can put some HID's in my truck..but decided tinted cool blues will work.

how much for your hook up =)

And anyone can install wheels and an intake Laurie. Midas does a half ass job on exhaust and won't do to much high performance. Silent Knight does good exhaust work.

they'll sound ricey on a Mazda 6 IMO. Apexi

Lol I have bought and installed allot of kits so they take care of me. And the silvania cool blues at oriellu are just white.

Laurie it's 40 bucks for a kit. That is bulbs, harness, ballasts, connectors, and even zip ties

ill have to check out silent knight arnt they on central and not goin to treat me like sum dumb girl when i go in lol i liked the exhaust in the vid Ben posted

nice i get payed on the 28th or 29th i think ill have to buy them

color your hair brown then

gotta remember, thats a whole different motor though.

im so goin to hurt u Mike lol ill make you come wit me ! oh thats true so wont be the same i should of just got a wrx or sumthing else lol

Idk how they will treat u. Find a bolt on exhaust and I or anyone on here could put it on for you.

And GOOD turbo kits are expensive, and if u plan on running any boost at all your bottom end won't hold. You would need a forged crank, forged pistons, and forged rods. But I'm sure some one makes an exhaust for it.

pretty sure her motor is exactly the same as the ones that come boosted..could be wrong though..

ya i have no idea hopefully the exhaust and intake will help some on it id post a pic but have no idea how to lol

Go with a mandrel bent bolt on kit..Injen apexiws2 if they make it for your car .. hks something along those lines...I mean you can have an exhaust system built but unless its mandrel bent system why?? You have to buy a muffler and to get a good one its gonna be 2-300 then have exhaust built and installed thats another 200 at min and Im sure its more than that..So now your at 4-500 for a exhaust..Well for little more could get a good exhaust, mandrel bent from a company that has done all the research on what works and doesnt work..Well its just my opinion..What I would do..

Lol photobucket. I would keep it simple mods because soon it won't be a daily driver and won't be reliable. But remember one thing about HIDs, they are extremely bring and look cool but don't display the light as well as halogen. But if u have ever seen my white vert mustang that has 10000k hids, the blue civic has purple hids, the black accord has 12000k, and the green eclipse has 8000k. All those cars have the kits I sell. And like I said if u ever have a problem with them I have extra everything.

I agree. My exhaust system was 800+ and it wasn't even the best of the best. But then again I installed it myself, as I do all my stuff.

ya midas wanted to do it for 500 i think it was and nvr heard bk from the other place

Ben u just need to open your old shop back up lol

Midas charges way to much, silent knight straight pipes for 80, bring them a muffler and they will be happy to weld it on for u.

ya if i can find the muffler ill have to look it up

Or u could get the bolt on kit and just have one of the guys bolt it on

Unfortunately that is probably something you will run into most places you go to have work done. I worked in a machine shop for several years doing tear downs and some machine work and guys that came in nearly always treated me like a dumb girl.

I would turbo your car, turbos are more efficient than superchargers however you would need to check into seeing how much boost the bottom end can take.

No offense miss, but I think you're going to want to start studying hardcore before you start buying parts for your car, especially stuff like turbos and superchargers.

Also, it's either a 2.3L inline 4 or a 3.0 V6. Mazda doesn't currently have a 3.0 inline 4.

I recommend you go to forum.mazdaclub6.com and read everything you can before touching your car. With just a little research, I read the stock block can handle 8 psi before it needs to be broken into, which isn't very much. In that same thread (http://forum.mazda6club.com/2-3l-i-4/227437-turbo-2-3-6i.html) it says be ready to spend 5k for a turbo kit.

Keep in mind that if you turbo a car that wasn't turboed from the factory, you are asking for reliability problems. While getting a high quality, name brand kit will help with the reliability problems, it's still aftermarket, and it is a MAJOR mod.

I think intake and a catback is all I'd go on your car, but it's up to you on how much you want to risk it and what you want to spend.

hey kyle...you are quite a bit off..first, she clearly said its the 4-banger, and she THOUGHT it was a 3.0, but it is the 4-cylinder 2.3(obviously) and i would say that is a pretty nice turbo kit, for a helluva a lot less than $5000 haha.

NOS seat covers all the way! Kyles right do your research first. get to know your car!

Yup research is the right way to do it. and buying and installing the turbo kit is the easy part. Tuning it is the hard part.

I know man, I was just helping her clarify what engine she had.

Also, while the kit may be only 2400 dollars, there's a lot more to turboing a car than just a kit. Labor and a tune are the first to come to mind. Also, I didn't make the number up off the top of my head. I got it from a forum dealing with these cars, and a thread specific to this subject.

i know man, and yeah Nik, tuning is always the harder of the two, thats what all of us are here to help with, hahaha.

ill just do the simple stuff to this car then lol

thats what i would advise, unless you have a different car to be your DD.

ya this is my olny car
