High-Flow Air Intake Kit w/ K&N Filter

The Racing Beat High Flow Air Intake Kit (RB-56502) is specifically engineered for the 1999-2005 naturally aspirated Mazda Miata. This system enhances engine breathing by replacing the restrictive factory air box with a smoother, low-restriction passage that utilizes a reusable K&N air filter. The attractive, polished aluminum casting is designed by Racing Beat to position the air filter element optimally behind the headlamp, drawing in cooler air for improved performance. Our dyno tests demonstrate that this intake assembly provides tangible performance gains, adding approximately 6 HP over the stock setup. Specifically, horsepower increased from 110 HP to 116 HP, with a noticeable improvement in mid-range torque. The aggressive sound of air rushing through the inlet tube also contributes to a more exciting driving experience. Designed for ease of installation, this kit typically takes about 30 minutes to fit and includes comprehensive instructions. It is emissions legal for street use in California and other states with similar regulations, having received an exemption (E.O. D-450-6) from the California Air Resources Board (CARB). The intake is compatible with Miatas featuring the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), though owners of models equipped with the factory shock tower brace may need to use an optional mounting bracket (for 1999-00 or 2001-05 Miatas) or opt to remove the brace entirely. For vehicles with ABS, the windshield wiper fluid reservoir will need to be relocated to accommodate the new air intake's position.
