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

Performance Cold Air Intake System with Heat Shield for Mazda 3 2.0L (2014–2018)

Elevate the driving dynamics of the Mazda 3 with this high-performance cold air intake system, specifically engineered for the 2.0L SkyActiv-G engine. Designed to complement Mazda’s philosophy of driver-centric performance, this upgrade replaces the restrictive factory air box with a high-velocity induction path. By providing the engine with a consistent supply of cooler, oxygen-rich air, this system unlocks a more responsive and spirited driving experience.

This system is Dyno-proven to deliver significant gains, improving performance by an estimated 10–15 horsepower and over 10 lb-ft of torque. By optimizing the air-to-fuel ratio and reducing intake restriction, the system also supports smoother engine idling and improved fuel economy, with potential savings of up to 2 MPG. Whether navigating tight city corners or accelerating onto the highway, the driver will feel a sharper, more immediate connection to the throttle.

The kit is constructed with high-quality materials, featuring a precision-engineered intake tube with a dedicated MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor slot. This straight-connection design ensures accurate sensor readings for optimal engine performance without the need for custom tuning. To protect against performance-robbing "heat soak," the system includes a specialized heat shield that acts as a thermal barrier, blocking radiant engine heat and ensuring only the densest air enters the cylinders.

Beyond the mechanical improvements, this intake transforms the auditory profile of the vehicle. Under acceleration, the system produces a deep, sporty resonance that highlights the engine's power without compromising refined cruising comfort. The included high-flow air filter is designed for maximum surface area, providing exceptional filtration to protect the engine while allowing for significantly higher air volume than standard paper filters.

Designed as a comprehensive bolt-on solution, this intake system is a direct-fit upgrade for 2014–2018 models. Installation is straightforward and can be completed quickly using common hand tools, making it an essential performance investment for any Mazda 3 owner.
