Renesis 13B Powered 2004-2011Mazda RX-8 Gets More Power with an AEM Cold Air Intake
- Feb 23, 2016
The Mazda RX-8 is a unique blend of sports car and sports coupe powered by the love-it-or-hate-it Wankel rotary engine. With perfect 50/50 weight distribution, over 200 horsepower on tap and room for 4 adults, there’s a lot to love about the RX-8. Rotary engines have fallen out of style in recent years but there’s a lot to love about them as well; namely a lightweight, compact package with smooth power delivery and a fun to rev 9000 RPM redline. These engines produce impressive power for their small 1.3 liter displacement and with an AEM cold air intake system; you can unleash even more Wankel-fueled fun with a guaranteed increase in horsepower. The AEM 2004-2011 Mazda RX-8 cold air intake system will fit the Mazda RX-8 models listed below and is available in four colors: a chrome-like finish (21-485P), charcoal grey (21-485C), blue (21-485B) and red (21-485R). Air first enters the AEM CAI through an oversized AEM 21-2109DK Dryflow air filter positioned behind the bumper cover near the passenger wheel well to help reduce intake air temperatures and increase horsepower.
Like other AEM Dryflow air filters, the Mazda RX-8 CAI filter is washable and reusable and can go for up to 100,000 miles between cleanings, depending on driving conditions. Best of all, it requires no oil so cleaning the filter is incredibly simple. The incoming air continues its journey through a series of gradually expanding aluminum intake tubes which accommodate all required factory connections to ensure proper functionality and factory sensor readings. AEM cold air intakes are engineered to outperform, and the increased performance of the AEM 2004-2011 Mazda RX-8 cold air intake has been proven on the dyno. A 2004 Mazda RX-8 equipped with the 21-485 cold air intake produced an estimated additional 8.4 horsepower at 7300 RPM over stock. This power gain was measured at the rear wheels.
The AEM 2004-2011 Mazda RX-8 cold air intake is a well-engineered performance upgrade with a factory-like fit and finish. AEM cold air intakes are backed by AEM’s Lifetime Limited Warranty. Also, the AEM 2004-2011 Mazda RX-8 CAI is street legal in all 50 states, no matter which color you choose, and has been granted CARB EO number D-670-21.
