Will a cold air intake from any previous years also fit a 2008 Mazda6? I have the 2.3L IL4. Older intakes can be found for $50 while an intake for the 08 I have not see for less than $150!
As a motorcycle driver, you'll get very little respect from car and truck drivers, which is the reason they are so dangerous. Any motorcyclist who is still alive can tell you countless stories of accidents or close-calls resulting from cars pulling into their path. Those are the lucky ones. So, even if you know what you're doing and are good at it, you cannot control what other drivers do. And anytime there is an accident between a motorcycle and a big car or truck, guess who gets the worst of it.
Ahem Face it Life is a Death sentence! No matter how safe you try to be it is still an absolute fact that you are going to die and The Risk Not Taken is almost every dying persons greatest regret. So the question is what kind of live do you want to live? if words like freedom, joy, exhilaration, fun and excitement appeal to you, take the safety course and learn how to ride a motorcycle you won't regret it !
It's not a death sentence. One possibility is that you avoid motorcycle wrecks and die of something else. Another is that you get crippled in a wreck in such a way that you're discouraged from riding a motorcycle. People keep blocking my driveway so I can't get my motorcycle out. LOL. I own it, but it can't kill me if I can't ride it.
And whether you spend 50, or 150, you will still get the same performance gain. Which is zero. Cold air intakes only provide a marginal amount of horsepower, at peak rpm. But seeing as you don't drive at that rpm level all the time, it's pointless. In normal, usable rpm, you gain ZERO horsepower, and some even cause a loss of torque, which ultimately makes your car SLOWER. Why would you bother? Go look it up, if you don't believe me. Ignore the horsepower ratings, and just look at the dynos. 99% of them, show no gains at all, until around 5000 rpm. Totally useless.
