The aFe Takeda Stage-2 Pro Dry S Cold Air Intake System is a high-performance upgrade designed for the 2014–2018 Mazda 3 with the 2.0L L4 engine. This intake features a one-piece housing constructed from XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) polymer, which effectively minimizes the intake of warm engine air to enhance performance. The system includes a large, open-element air filter that is easily visible through the housing, allowing for quick inspection. Its design creates a heat-blocking seal when the hood is closed, ensuring cooler air intake. The intake utilizes the vehicle’s original equipment air inlet without requiring additional hardware, maintaining a clean and efficient installation.
This cold air intake system is engineered specifically for the 2014–2018 Mazda 3 2.0L L4, providing a direct replacement for the factory air intake. It includes an auxiliary air inlet that can be connected to draw cooler air from the front of the vehicle under high power conditions, optimizing airflow and engine response. The bolt-on installation requires no modifications, making it suitable for street and performance driving. This system improves throttle response and horsepower while maintaining durability and ease of maintenance for daily driving and spirited use.
