AEM Induction 21-773C Performance Short Ram Air Intake System for 2015-2018 Mazda 3 2.0L

The AEM 21-773C Performance Cold Air Intake System produces horsepower and torque gains by replacing your vehicle's restrictive factory air filter and air intake housing. This air intake system was designed, tuned and dyno-tested to fit specific Mazda Mazda3 models. Air enters the system through an oversized AEM Dryflow synthetic washable air filter for outstanding air flow, filtration and performance. The air filter is located in the original airbox space and is protected by a heat shield which is designed to reduce intake air temperature and adapts to the factory cold air scoop. The air intake tube is constructed from mandrel-bent aluminum featuring a durable gunmetal gray powder coated finish. This air intake system was developed to accommodate the engine's factory emissions control devices including the mass air sensor and engine breather hose. The tapered cylinder shaped AEM Dryflow air filter is made from an oil-free, synthetic filter media that can be used for up to 100,000 miles before cleaning is needed (depending on driving conditions). The air intake system is easy to install with commonly available tools and it is backed by AEM's Lifetime Limited Warranty. Some AEM air intakes are not legal for sale or use in California and other states adopting California emission standards, while others are 50 state legal.

AEM's Performance Cold Air Intake Systems are designed, tuned and dyno-tested to give your engine more power and acceleration by replacing the restrictive factory air filter, air intake tubing and air box assembly.

The AEM Induction 21-773C Performance Cold Air Intake System is engineered for select 2015-2018 Mazda 3 models equipped with the 2.0L four-cylinder engine. By replacing the restrictive factory air filter, intake tubing, and airbox assembly, this system is designed to improve airflow, throttle response, horsepower, torque, and acceleration. The intake is dyno-tested and tuned for vehicle-specific fitment while retaining compatibility with the factory mass airflow sensor, engine breather hose, and emissions control components.

Incoming air flows through an oversized AEM Dryflow synthetic air filter positioned within the original airbox area. A protective heat shield helps reduce exposure to engine-bay heat and works with the factory cold-air scoop to support cooler, denser intake air. The filter uses oil-free, washable, and reusable synthetic media and may remain in service for up to 100,000 miles before cleaning, depending on driving conditions.

The intake tube is manufactured from mandrel-bent aluminum and finished with a durable gunmetal gray powder coating for long-term corrosion resistance and a clean appearance. Installation is designed for commonly available hand tools. The system is supported by AEM's Lifetime Limited Warranty. This product is not CARB approved and may not be legal for sale or use in California or other states that follow California emissions standards.
