Increase Throttle Response and Airflow for 2010-2012 Mazda 3 2.5L MZR Owners

Who It’s For: Designed specifically for 2010-2012 Mazda 3 owners running the 2.5L MZR L5-VE engine.

The Problem: The factory airbox on the MZR L5-VE is built with one goal: noise suppression. To achieve this, Mazda used a series of restrictive baffles and a convoluted plastic intake path that creates significant air turbulence. This design causes the engine to struggle for air at higher RPMs and results in a "mushy" throttle feel that hides the true potential of the 2.5L displacement.

The Solution: We engineered this black powder-coated intake to eliminate the intake track restrictions of the MZR, replacing the narrow plastic tubing with mandrel-bent T-6063 aluminum. By providing a straight, smooth path for oxygen to reach the throttle body, we’ve improved the volumetric efficiency of the engine, ensuring your Mazda reacts the moment you touch the pedal.


Why This is the Ultimate Upgrade

  • Optimized Airflow: The mandrel-bent aluminum piping maintains a constant diameter throughout the bend, preventing the air turbulence common in the corrugated stock rubber accordion hose.
  • Thermal Management: The T-6063 aluminum is finished in a durable black powder coat that helps reflect radiant engine bay heat, keeping the intake charge denser and cooler for better combustion.
  • No-Fuss Maintenance: Includes a high-flow synthetic pleated filter that is fully washable and reusable. You’ll never have to buy a restrictive paper filter from the dealership again.
