Tru-3.0 Wide Path Full Aluminum Intake System

The JBR Tru-3.0 Wide Path Full Aluminum Intake System provides a direct path for airflow, featuring a true 3-inch inside diameter from the MAF housing to the turbo inlet. The MAF housing itself is precision-machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum to tight tolerances and includes an integrated air straightener, ensuring optimal MAF sensor readings without the risk of loose components. This design contributes to increased horsepower and torque by improving airflow. The system utilizes a 3.25-inch JBR Dry-Flow air filter, which offers superior engine protection by capturing fine particles while allowing significantly increased airflow compared to stock filters. This filter is washable and does not require oiling, simplifying maintenance. The lightweight MAF housing also helps reduce heat soak, allowing the intake temperatures to stay lower and further contributing to power gains. Installation is a simple bolt-on application and is generally compatible with the stock battery box. However, for Mazdaspeed 3 models, removal of the outer ECU cover may be necessary, and for certain aftermarket turbos, the OEM mounting location might not be used. A specific note for Mazdaspeed 3 owners running a BNR turbo indicates that ECU relocation or a small battery box is required for proper fitment, while a small battery box is recommended for the Mazdaspeed 6 in similar configurations. Advanced tuning is required for this intake system to function correctly and optimize performance. JBR recommends tuning services from Stratified Automotive Controls. The intake system is designed and manufactured in the USA and includes stainless steel T-bolt clamps. A hassle-free lifetime warranty is also included.
