Short Ram Air Intake for Mazda 3 6 CX3 CX5 Scion iA Toyota Yaris (2012-2018) 1.5L 2.0L 2.5L

Unleash the Skyactiv-G: High-Flow Short Ram Intake for Mazda & Toyota 1.5L, 2.0L, & 2.5L

Who Is This For? Designed specifically for Mazda and Toyota owners running the Skyactiv-G engine family who want to replace their restrictive factory airbox with a setup that delivers aggressive induction sound, improved throttle response, and a cleaner engine bay aesthetic for daily driving and spirited commutes.

The Intake Inhale: Your Skyactiv-G engine is a marvel of high-compression engineering, but it’s often suffocated by a bulky, multi-piece plastic airbox designed for silence rather than flow. When you step on the gas to merge or pass, the factory intake creates a bottleneck that results in a muffled, sluggish response. This restrictive path forces your engine to work harder to breathe, leaving potential horsepower and fuel efficiency on the table.

The Engineering Solution: This Short Ram Intake kit deletes the heavy factory baffles and replaces them with a high-velocity, open-element blue filter and a precision-engineered MAF (Mass Air Flow) adapter. By utilizing Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technology, we’ve created a lightweight, durable housing that allows for a direct transfer of your OEM sensor. This streamlined path provides a shorter, less turbulent route for cool air to reach the combustion chamber, resulting in a deeper, throaty engine note and a noticeable "snap" in acceleration.

The Comparative Edge: Why This Beats the Competition

• The Performance Gain: Delivers a significant boost in induction sound and throttle sensitivity compared to the quiet, restrictive stock paper filter and accordion-style plastic tubing.
• Precision Manufacturing: Unlike generic universal intake tubes that require custom fabrication to mount a sensor, our adapter is specifically engineered via FDM additive manufacturing to accept your factory MAF sensor perfectly, ensuring accurate air-to-fuel ratios.
• Maintenance & Longevity: Features a high-flow blue filter that is fully washable and reusable, unlike the disposible OEM filters that end up in landfills every 15,000 miles.
