6i's Ride

Hello Everyone,

I have posted a few pics of my ride in the gallery. I am not the master
photographer some other members are, but you get the general idea
about my ride.

I bought my mtx 6i sport in Feb of 2007 and almost immediately started modding.
Funds and the desire to keep the factory warranty intact limited my options.
So far I have done the following:

HSV-GT Voltage system
Clear Side Markers
Bose Sub Pre-amp Mod
Window Tint
Mazdaspeed CAI
Sharkfin Antenna
Aux-Fan Mod
Custom Axel Back Exhaust
Color Matched Windshield Washer Nozzels

I was hoping to extract more power from my car with these modest
changes, but my best dyno pull was 133hp/140tq

You can view my ride from the link below:

Pre Amp mod?[/b]

Yes, the bose sub in stock form is almost impossible to hear. Turning up the bass just vibrates the door speakers.
This mod increases the signal going to the bose amp and thus allows you to actually hear the sub in action. I
currently have the bass set at -2.

dunno, your amp is under one of your front seats right? Do you have 1 amp running the door speakers and one running the bose sub?

I didn't notice any gains from the CAI, but it does feel like it revs faster now.
