K&N Performance Intake Kit MAZDA MX-5, 1.6L, 16V, L4, MPI, 114BHP

The K&N 57i Series induction kits are tailor - made for specific vehicles, liberating your Mazda MX - 5 (Miata) from the limitations of the factory air box. These cost - effective kits come in various forms according to vehicle features and under - hood space. They're engineered to boost power across the RPM range. The open - air air filters in these kits have extra surface area, allowing more airflow with less restriction compared to K&N O/E replacement filters. The larger filter not only captures and holds more dirt but also extends its service life (up to 100,000 miles) before cleaning. The filter can be directly attached to the engine carburetor or throttle body, or indirectly via a tube assembly. All adapters are crafted from high - quality materials like steel, aluminum, silicon, or reinforced nylon for long - lasting performance. Note that the 57i Series Intakes are not legal for use in California and other US states following California emission standards. This part fits 1990 - 1993 Mazda Miata Base, 1993 Mazda Miata LE, and 1991 Mazda Miata SE models.

Using your K&N 57i Series intake kit is straightforward. First, make sure your engine is cool. You can either attach the filter directly to the engine carburetor or throttle body, or use the tube assembly to connect it indirectly. When it comes to maintenance, you don't have to worry too often. The large air filter can last up to 100,000 miles before it needs cleaning. However, if you notice a significant drop in performance or a lot of dirt on the filter, it's time for a clean. Also, remember that this intake kit is not legal for use in California and other states that follow California emission standards. So, before you install it, check your local regulations to avoid any legal issues.
