Performance Air Filter for Mazda MX5 IV (2015-2025) with 1.5L 2.0L Engines

Precision Induction: Performance Filtration for the Mazda MX-5 ND Skyactiv-G 1.5L & 2.0L

Who It’s For: Engineered for Mazda MX-5 IV (ND) owners running the high-compression P5-VP and PE-VPS powerplants who are tired of the stock sluggishness at the top of the rev range.

The Symptom: The factory intake on the Skyactiv-G engine is designed for silence and long-term service intervals, not peak volumetric efficiency. It uses a restrictive, thick-gauge paper filter that creates significant pressure drop as the RPMs climb toward the redline. This creates a "breathless" feeling during spirited driving, where the engine struggles to pull in the volume of air needed to maintain its torque curve, effectively choking your throttle response when you’re rowing through the gears.

The Engineering Fix: This system replaces that restrictive paper barrier with a multi-layer cotton gauze media, allowing for a much higher flow velocity into the intake plenum. By utilizing a "Full Moulding" production process, the filter features a single-piece rubber frame with no welded joints, eliminating potential failure points and ensuring a perfect seal within the factory airbox. Relocating the filtration standard to 7 microns ensures that while we are increasing air density and flow, we are never compromising the tight tolerances of your Mazda’s internal components.

Why Mechanics Choose This Kit

• Optimized Volumetric Efficiency: By reducing the vacuum restriction in the airbox, the Skyactiv-G P5 and PE engines can achieve a more efficient combustion cycle, particularly beneficial for the ND2’s higher 7,500 RPM redline.
• The Induction Note: While it retains the factory airbox for heat shielding, the high-flow media allows a more mechanical, crisp induction growl to reach the cabin during wide-open throttle.
• Aerospace Grade Construction: Built with epoxy-coated alloy mesh, this filter is designed to resist fuel vapors and the high humidity levels often found in performance engine bays, preventing media degradation over time.
