Optimize Airflow for Your KL-DE V6 Powered Ford Probe GT & Mazda MX6
Who It’s For: Designed specifically for Ford and Mazda enthusiasts running the legendary Mazda K-Series 2.5L V6 engine in the Probe GT, MX6, and 626 chassis.
The Problem: The Mazda K-Series is a high-revving, over-engineered masterpiece, but it was strangled from the factory by a restrictive plastic air box and a heavy resonator designed to prioritize silence over speed. After decades of heat cycles, the factory corrugated rubber intake bellows are prone to cracking, which leads to vacuum leaks and erratic idling that plagues these vintage V6s.
The Solution: We engineered this intake system to eliminate the factory bottlenecks of the KL-DE. By replacing the baffled stock housing with a smooth-bore, mandrel-bent aluminum pipe and a high-velocity cone filter, we provide a direct path for cold air. This doesn’t just help the engine breathe; it lets that distinctive 60-degree V6 induction growl finally be heard.
Why This is the Ultimate Upgrade
-
Sharper Throttle Response: By removing the restrictive factory baffles, we’ve decreased the intake air velocity drop-off, giving you immediate pedal feedback when you ’re exiting a corner or passing on the highway.
-
Mandrel-Bent Aluminum Construction: Unlike cheap plastic tubes that soak up engine bay heat, our lightweight aluminum piping is finished in a vibrant Red powder coat that provides better heat dissipation and a custom look under the hood.
-
Zero-Maintenance High-Flow Filter: The included red performance filter is washable and reusable, meaning you’ll never have to buy a restrictive paper filter again.

The Performance Promise
Buy with confidence. As enthusiasts who have spent years under the hoods of 90s era imports, we know fitment is everything. This kit is designed for a straightforward bolt-on installation, typically taking less than an hour. We recommend a battery reset after install to allow the PCM to adjust its fuel trim values for the new airflow curve.
