Description
The Mishimoto MMAI-MIA-16P is a purpose-built performance air intake engineered specifically for the 2016-2021 Mazda Miata, delivering an aggressive intake tone and a cleaner engine bay look with its polished aluminum intake pipe. Every component, from the CNC-machined MAF housing to the high-flow oiled filter, is designed around the Miata’s lightweight, driver-focused character.
Mishimoto built this cold air intake to eliminate the flow restrictions of the factory intake tract while keeping weight in check, so the ND Miata’s naturally responsive character isn’t compromised. The smooth aluminum intake pipe routes air with minimal turbulence to the high-flow, multi-layered cotton air filter, letting the engine pull in more air with less effort. A CNC-machined MAF housing helps maintain accurate sensor readings, while the stock intake duct is retained to continue supplying cold air from the front of the vehicle. Whether you’re searching for a cold air intake, an air intake filter upgrade, or simply a cool air intake system that sounds as good as it performs, this intake filter setup is built to satisfy Miata owners chasing both sound and airflow gains.
