AEM 22-480P Short Ram Intake System for Mazda Protege 1999-2003 & Protege5 2002-2003 - 22-480P

If you’re looking to give your Mazda Protege or Protege 5 a real kick in the pants, the AEM 22-480P Performance Short Ram Air Intake System is worth considering. I’ve been around cars long enough to know that the factory air intake can be a bit of a bottleneck, and swapping it out for this AEM system is like opening a window on a stuffy day. You’ll notice an immediate boost in horsepower and torque, which is always a good thing when you’re trying to get ahead of the pack.

What I really appreciate about this intake system is how it replaces those restrictive factory components. The oversized AEM Dryflow synthetic washable air filter allows for excellent airflow while keeping dirt and debris at bay. You can actually feel the difference when you hit the gas—the engine sounds more aggressive and alive, which is a nice bonus for anyone who enjoys a little growl when they accelerate. Plus, the mandrel-bent aluminum tubing not only looks slick with its chrome-like finish, but it’s also built to last.

Installation is straightforward, too. You don’t need to be a mechanic to get this thing on your car—just grab some common tools and you’re good to go. And don’t worry about emissions; this system plays nice with your factory emissions control devices, so you won’t run into any legal headaches. Just check the vehicle applications to see if it’s street legal in your state, especially if you’re in California.

AEM Intake

AEM intake offers the very best cold air intake systems on the market, providing drivers with everything they need to get the most out of their vehicle. At Vivid Racing, we are proud to offer our customers AEM cold air intake systems, providing this trusted and reliable brand to all types of drivers.

Whether you are part of a professional race team or just like to push your car to the limit, an AEM intake system is a welcome addition to your vehicle.

What Is an AEM Cold Air Intake System?

An AEM cold air intake system is specifically designed to increase the volume of cold air flowing into your engine as you drive. The thinking behind this is that cold air is much denser than warm air. Therefore, if there is more cold air in your engine, there is more air in general, which also means that there is more oxygen. A higher amount of oxygen present in a car engine increases the potency of combustion, which can increase the power and efficiency of your engine.

What Are the Benefits of an AEM Intake System?

An AEM intake kit maximizes the amount of power you can get from your engine. This increase in power will also help you conserve fuel and increase your fuel efficiency, saving you money at the gas station. In a sense, an AEM intake system helps your car and engine “breathe” more efficiently, allowing it to reach its full potential.

Why Should I Choose an AEM Intake Kit?

AEM is regarded as one of the best aftermarket intake systems on the market, combining quality materials, cutting-edge technology and reliable design to help drivers around the globe improve the power of their engine. All AEM cold air intake systems are engineered to increase your car’s torque and horsepower, and any AEM intake kit comes with a lifetime limited warranty.
