The K&N Performance Intake Kit for the Mazda MX-5 1.6L 16V L4 MPI (114BHP) is part of the 57i Series induction kits designed to enhance engine airflow by eliminating the factory air box size restrictions. This kit features an open-air filter with increased surface area, allowing for greater airflow at lower restriction compared to standard K&N O/E replacement filters. The larger filter also captures more dirt, extending service intervals up to 100,000 miles before cleaning is required. Constructed with high-quality materials including steel, aluminum, silicon, and reinforced nylon, the kit ensures durability and long-lasting performance. It is engineered to deliver improved power throughout the entire RPM range.
This intake kit is tailored specifically for the Mazda MX-5 equipped with the 1.6L 16-valve inline-four MPI engine producing 114 horsepower. Installation involves either direct attachment to the throttle body or indirect connection via a tube assembly, providing a bolt-on upgrade that fits within the available engine bay space. The kit is ideal for street and daily driving applications where enhanced throttle response and airflow are desired. Note that the 57i Series intake kits are not legal for use in California or other states that follow California emission standards.
