I'm new and have a few questions

[bgianoni]

I got my 2010 Mazdaspeed 3 a few weeks ago and was wondering what companies make good mods for Mazda, like Subaru has Perrin, I was wondering how good Corksport and their parts are, or if I should look somewhere else.

Where's that newbie thread at?

Corksport, CP-E, COBB, Street Unit/SURE are all great products. There are others but I am only mentioning those I have experience with. What are you looking to get? I have an 07 but the mods are somewhat the same for performance. IMO, intake first then find something to deal with that sloppy shifting. SURE makes some nice solid bushings and a smaller shift weight helps too.

welcome to the fam..

welcome and good question. i have found that most all the vendors here have awsome service and products. i use a lot of cobb and a lot of greddy but have no beefs with any company. i started with a cobb intake and because of the quality and support use a lot of cobb. i have always been a greddy fan. jbr is awesome nothing but good and i am looking into him or sure for a new rear motor mount. i just like to keep like parts together if possible. but corksport, cobb, cp-e, jbr cant go wrong. i like sure etc.

Get as many parts as you need from JBR. You won't be disappointed. The rest, Cobb, CS (minus FMIC) and cpe (minus RMM) will do just fine.

just look at people's signature. most of us almost have the same power mods. some are different companies, but they do the same thing, like Short Ram intakes, Race pipes, exhausts, and many other mods

this is an example, but i just didnt know if cobb made a better intake than corksport and other things like that. just seeing if one company made better parts than the other, but from what everyone else was telling me, i might try to stick with corksport and cobb just since i've seen alot of ppl using those mods

Honestly, there's not too much difference between the SRI's of Cobb, CS, cpe - other than pricing and whether they include a TIH or not. Many people here go with CS since it already includes a TIH.
