Cold Air Intake for Mazda 3 (2014-2018) 2.0L Engine Chrome

Maximize Throttle Response: Mazda 3 (2014-2018) Cold Air Intake for 2.0L SkyActiv-G

Who Is This For? Designed specifically for 2014-2018 Mazda 3 owners running the 2.0L SkyActiv-G engine who want a more engaging daily drive, improved fuel efficiency, and a high-mileage refresh for their induction system.

The Oxygen Deprivation: The factory airbox on the 2.0L SkyActiv-G is a maze of plastic baffles and restrictive paper filters designed for silence rather than speed. When you merge onto the highway or try to pass, your engine feels breathless, struggling to pull in enough air through the narrow OEM piping. This restriction creates a lag between your foot and the pavement, leaving your Mazda feeling sluggish despite its sporty chassis.

The Engineering Solution: This performance intake system replaces that bottleneck with a high-velocity chrome aluminum induction path that delivers a steady stream of oxygen-rich air directly to the manifold. We’ve integrated a precision-machined MAF sensor slot to ensure your ECU gets perfect readings without throwing codes. By adding a dedicated thermal heat shield, we prevent engine bay heat from soaking the intake charge, ensuring every combustion cycle is as potent as possible.

The Comparative Edge: Why This Beats the Competition

• The Performance Gain: Estimated increase of 10–15 horsepower and over 10 lb-ft of torque, providing a tangible "kick" you can feel during acceleration.
• Superior Materials: Constructed from high-grade aluminum with a chrome finish and a dedicated thermal barrier, unlike generic open-filter kits that actually pull in hot air and reduce power.
• The Install: A 100% direct bolt-on solution using OEM mounting points—no drilling, cutting, or permanent modifications required to your engine bay.
