Description
The Mishimoto Wrinkle Red Cold Air Intake (MPN: MMAI-MIA-16WRD) is a direct-fit performance air intake system engineered specifically for the 2016-2021 Mazda Miata. Finished in a striking wrinkle red powder-coat, this intake pairs a CNC-machined MAF housing with a high-flow oiled filter to give the ND Miata a more aggressive intake tone and cleaner engine bay aesthetic.
Built to complement the Miata’s reputation as a light, nimble driver’s car, this cold air intake replaces restrictive factory intake tubing with a smoother aluminum intake pipe and CNC-machined MAF housing for more accurate sensor readings. The multi-layered cotton air filter is designed to let your engine breathe more freely, while the intake still relies on the stock intake duct to route cold air into the filter. Whether you’re searching for a cold air intake, an upgraded air intake filter, or simply a cool air intake system that looks as good as it sounds, this Mishimoto intake system is built to answer the question of what a cold air intake system does: it works to improve airflow into the engine while adding an aggressive induction note under acceleration.
Vehicle Applications
This Mishimoto air intake system is designed as a direct fit for the 2016-2021 Mazda Miata (ND chassis) equipped with the US-model 2.0L SkyActiv engine, engine code PE-VPS. It is built specifically for this application and will not fit the 1.5L engine found in other markets, so confirm your Miata is the US-spec 2.0L SkyActiv variant before ordering.
