    i hear the price vs reward between the two are close but a slight edge to the mazdaspeed.

    Ultimately, it will come down to emissions, as all my cars have to be "daily drivers"; and they have to pass CO emissions.

    The mazdaspeed is emissions legal. I have it in my car and no emission problems

    Massiah, have you heard of tech3? I have an exhintake cam and a ecu. Been meaning to get a tune but 1. It never fires up right, 2. sj is about 1 hr from me. 3. I can never get get enough off days to hook up the megasquid and drive there for a tune. 4. the ecu is in the foot well and its a b*tch to remove the connectors. 5. connectors are a little worn from on/off.

    I've only heard of them, no experience with them. All my tuning questions and concerns are answered by Jei @ Blacktrax most of the time. What's the issue? With the tune or the exhintake? MS is pretty easy. I've got one sitting around waiting for install on my '94 R and plan on putting one in the '99 later.
