K&N 04 Mazda3 L4-2.3L Red Typhoon Short Ram Intake

If you're looking to get more out of your 2004-2009 Mazda 3 with the 2.3L engine, this K&N Typhoon Short Ram Intake system is a solid option. It replaces the factory air filter and intake housing, which can be pretty restrictive, with a free-flowing aluminum tube and a high-flow K&N air filter. This setup is designed to pull in cooler outside air and smooth out the airflow into your engine. More air means your engine can breathe easier, leading to noticeable gains in power and acceleration across the RPM range.

The intake tubes are made from mandrel-bent aluminum and finished in a red powder coat, giving your engine bay a bit of custom flair. The oversized cone filter comes with a DryCharger wrap to help keep moisture out, and it's designed to go up to 100,000 miles before needing service, depending on your driving conditions. Installation is usually straightforward and can be done in about 90 minutes or less.

This system is designed as a direct replacement for the stock air intake. Remember to check the K&N catalog or website for the specific emissions legality in your state, as some intakes are not legal for sale in California and other states that follow California emissions standards.
