    Hi All,
    Im excited for this forum. I just bought a 2010 Mazdaspeed 3 a couple weeks fully stock. I can't wait to get to modding. Quick question, do you guys recommend doing a HPFP as your first performance mod? I really want to get an intake but want to be safe first and foremost.
    I look forward to learning from and talking to everyone about their builds!

    Welcome to the forum. Mod Order for best fun times on ko4 is.

    1. HPFP - CS or Autotech
    2. Damond Restrictor Bolt
    3. Accessport "if you buy one from freek you get a discount on a tune"
    4. Below items will need a tune. Freek or Purple Drank - Wait to get a tune until you have the items below so you can get the most out of the stock motor. You will need touch up tunes if you keep adding parts.
    5. 3" Hard Intake "hard intake makes cooler sounds" 3.5" if you plan to add power or go CST4 or S3/S4 turbo in the future.
    6. Ebay Catless Downpipe "if you can go catless" otherwise "these were like 130$ shipped pre-covid, might not be worth it now"
    7. Gen Pu benefits from cat back exhaust but it is not a deal breaker for ko4 power.
    With this simple list and an e30 tune you can get the most out of the ko4 and have a really fun DD tire burning power band. Even with 93 only you will have a really nice DD car with a big bump over OEM power. If you want to get that power put to the ground I recommend a Damond , CS Stg2, or CPE Stg2 RMM.

    looks like it! I looked under the car for mounts/ exhaust. And there’s nothing. Only thing I’ve found on the car is shift bushing and it has a brand new engine block. Here’s an engine bay pic
