Default New to Tuning/Modding Help!

Still new to tuning/modding, slowing learning little by little, and I figured I ask for peoples help through here.

(*Sorry in advance if this is not the right place for this thread, feel free to close/move this thread els where.)

I was thinking about starting with a Exhaust then work my way up from there, still don't know what els there should be done, I plan on taking this as far as it goes, just being a normal tuner/modder.

Any advice? Please enlighten me and help a fellow Mazdaspeed Rookie.

Thanks in advance MSF

Get an ap, internals, and rear motor mount. That should be enough to at least get you started.

Read! Most of what you want to know had already been answered in some shape or form on here.

Definitely go with the accessport and the hpfp as a first step. If your looking for some sound to go along with those mods try a resonator delete. From what I've heard I like the resonator delete with the stock cbe. Hit up edgeautosport and get their Accessport and HPFP bundle!

Besides the obvious reading part... let me say something no one else has so far.

Please Donate!!! I just did. Give something back since you know all the knowledge you are about to get is literally priceless.

I also recommend after you donate to check the section called NATOR (there's a story behind the word). Go hook up with your local MS3 guys. FYI - think of NATOR as a meet and greet and go chill with the boys.
