Add Horsepower to 2014-2015 Mazda 3 2.0 liter Manual with an AEM Cold Air Intake
- Dec 3, 2015
Since its debut in 2004 the Mazda 3 has been a consistent top-choice in the compact segment; boasting refinement and performance beyond its price point. Mazda revamped the 3 for 2014 and the end result certainly does not disappoint. Still present is the impressive sporty handling and respectable 2.0 liter Skyactiv engine. The 2.0 liter Skyactiv engine is certainly nothing to scoff at with its impressive engineering and resulting above-average 0-60 times, though there is room to take your 3 to the next level. Add a boost in horsepower and torque to 2014 or 2015 Mazda 3 2.0 liter models with a manual transmission with the AEM cold air intake system 21-765C. AEM pioneered the cold air intake market in the 1990s and this legacy of precision-tuned intake systems is visible even today with the 21-765C 2014-2015 Mazda 3 2.0L cold air intake. A mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube replaces the corrugated factory intake tubing, helping to streamline airflow into the engine. The tube is coated in a durable gunmetal grey powder coat to help ensure the 2014-2015 Mazda 3 2.0L manual trans CAI system will look good for years to come. An AEM Dryflow® reusable air filter 21-202DOSK, is fitted to the end of the air intake tube to help minimize restriction as well as provide outstanding engine protection. Another benefit of the AEM Dryflow air filter’s design is that it is washable and reusable with the ability to go up to 100,000 miles between cleanings, depending on driving conditions. The filter is placed in the driver’s side wheel well, allowing the engine to draw cooler air from outside the vehicle which can aid in increasing horsepower., An AEM air filter wrap 1-4000, is available separately if splashes of water are a concern.
The saying goes, “the proof is in the pudding.” Well, cars don’t have pudding so let’s say “the proof is in the performance gains.” On the dyno, an AEM 21-765C cold air intake system installed on a 2014 Mazda 3 2.0 liter manual transmission produced an estimated additional 6 horsepower at 4400rpm and 8 pound-feet of torque at 3400rpm over the factory air ducting system. Those power gains are to the wheels, not to the crank. The 21-765C cold air intake system for 2014-2015 Mazda 3 2.0L manual transmission models is an easy-to-install performance upgrade, maintains all required factory connections, and comes with every part needed for installation. AEM covers its air intake systems and Dryflow air filters with a Lifetime Limited Warranty so owners have confidence that their intake system will perform for the life of their vehicle and beyond. The Mazda 3 has always been a top-contender in the compact segment and with an AEM 21-765C cold air intake system; the 2014-2015 Mazda 3 2.0L manual trans can become the cream of the crop.
