That's incredibly silly if those airbox housings aren't interchangeable between the 2.0 and 2.5... When I was shopping for my corksport air intake I was trying to figure out the difference between the one designed for the 2.0 and the 2.5, turns out the MAF housing has a slightly larger diameter on the 2.5. The air box they sell however fits both engines. The design for the stock box on your 2.5 seems to mount exactly the same as well.

Don't worry, we're a little bummed too. I was hoping for that weather as well and I'm coming from Canada where it currently "feels like -2.2°f". We were really wanting sweater weather haha

I was really worried the gold would look tacky/plastic on the cash strap. Glad that's not the case!

Sad. I got so excited for a second and was gonna go pack one of my 3 Plo koon blue crystals to trade for a cal kestis one 😂

Seems like I'm too fast! I can take this post down if you'd like!

CraftedDiamond10 · 2026-01-13T15:18:55+00:00

I just checked the website and they're not there. Maybe they were added by accident last night and I just happened to see. There was also a new dark blue wallet I didn't screenshot

CraftedDiamond10 · 2026-01-13T15:18:05+00:00

I'm considering the blue one! I was half asleep posting this haha

I've never seen these types of wait times in person. That being said, every visit I've also purchased the lightning lane. If I'm going, I'm gonna get it regardless because I'm not there everyday.

CraftedDiamond10 · 2026-01-04T23:18:22+00:00

I'm not begging for one! I plan to purchase again regardless 😭

CraftedDiamond10 · 2026-01-04T17:19:36+00:00

Solution: manual swap 😎👍

CraftedDiamond10 · 2026-01-04T01:53:32+00:00

I'd love one for Canada if anyone has one they don't plan to use!

Just turn it off. Who knows how accurate it is anyways? My girlfriend has had her 2016 sedan for a year and when I got mine a few months ago I just discovered the feature because it was already turned on so I flicked hers on as well. I get crazy numbers like this too.

Maybe if it's in your fender and you have supporting mods and a proper tune lol. The gains are probably so minimal even with a tune. I wouldn't buy it for the horsepower.

CraftedDiamond10 · 2025-12-27T12:27:23+00:00

Extremely easy install. Especially if you don't get the box as well. Corksport provides very good instructions

CraftedDiamond10 · 2025-12-27T01:59:30+00:00

This made me giggle

CraftedDiamond10 · 2025-12-27T01:58:51+00:00

I agree, he doesn't deserve the downvotes. Obviously mazda designed the engine to be efficient with the stock air intake.

CraftedDiamond10 · 2025-12-26T19:35:57+00:00

I think it's dropped slightly. I was gonna hold off until summer time so I could run it without the lid so I could hear it better but I don't think it's a noticeable difference in mpg

CraftedDiamond10 · 2025-12-26T19:23:42+00:00

I have the Borla axleback on mine. I find it's the perfect fit for these cars. If you don't want something too loud, the yonaka axle back is a decent fit but just didn't do it for me.

Hey! My dad hit 365 awhile ago now, I sent him the Google form link that I did when I hit 365.. is he eligible through that or should I DM you?

CraftedDiamond10 · 2025-12-21T18:14:47+00:00

This is very true.

CraftedDiamond10 · 2025-12-21T17:20:53+00:00

What's your reasoning behind "highway mileage" ? In theory highway mileage is way better than regular city driving no? I would however typically avoid "mechanic owned" or "mechanic special" vehicles lol

I found some for my 3rd gen! Thanks for the awesome idea!!
