AEM Short Ram Intake
Affordable and simple horsepower upgrade

Washable and reusable lifetime air filter

The AEM 22-481 fits some Mazda Protege, and Mazda Protege5 models. See vehicle applications for details.
The AEM 22-481 Performance Short Ram Air Intake System has been engineered to be an affordable and easy way to boost the horsepower and torque of your engine. The restrictive factory air filter and air intake housing are replaced with this AEM air intake system which was designed, tuned and dyno-tested to fit specific Mazda Protege and Protege 5 models. Air enters the system through an oversized AEM Dryflow synthetic washable air filter for outstanding air flow, filtration and performance. The sound your engine makes when accelerating is also modified to a fuller, more aggressive resonance allowing you to hear and feel the horsepower upgrade. The intake tubing is constructed from mandrel-bent aluminum featuring a durable blue powder coated finish. This air intake system was developed to accommodate the engine’s factory emissions control devices including the mass airflow sensor, inlet air temperature sensor, ventilation hose and purge solenoid valve. The tapered cylinder shaped AEM Dryflow air filter is made from an oil-free, synthetic filter media that can be used for up to 100,000 miles before cleaning is needed (depending on driving conditions). The air intake system is easy to install with commonly available tools. Some AEM air intakes are not legal for sale or use in California and other states adopting California emission standards, while others are 50 state legal. View the 22-481 vehicle applications to determine the legal status for each vehicle.
