K&N 04-09 Mazda RX-8 Typhoon Short Ram Intake

If you're looking to get more air into your 2004-2011 Mazda RX-8's rotary engine, this K&N Typhoon Short Ram intake is a solid option. It replaces the factory air filter and housing with a free-flowing system designed to reduce restriction and straighten airflow. More air means your engine can make more power and accelerate better across the entire RPM range.

The system features a mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube with a durable flat black finish. It includes a high-flow K&N air filter housed in a lightweight carbon fiber casing, along with a heat shield to help keep engine bay heat away from the incoming air. This intake is designed to work with your factory mass air sensor and vent lines, making installation straightforward. The oversized air filter is built to last, often going up to 100,000 miles before needing service, depending on your driving conditions.

Installation is typically manageable within 90 minutes. Remember to check K&N's catalog or website for the specific emissions legality in your state, as some applications may not be legal for sale or use in California and other states that follow its emissions standards.
