Racing Beat High Flow Air Intake
Applications: Mazda Miata (94-97)
Part Number: 56501

The Miata High Flow Air Inlet Assembly (larger photo) combines the advantages of a low restriction K&N air filter with a smoother air passage into the factory air meter assembly to improve horsepower and throttle response. Designed, engineered, and manufactured entirely in the USA by Racing Beat, this handsome assembly, with its polished aluminum casting, positions the air filter cone away from the exhaust header to minimize the intake of heated air. This intake kit is supplied with a genuine K&N high performance filter for excellent durability and increased performance. The Racing Beat intake and K&N Filter combination will offer many years of trouble-free performance driving.

Performance
As reviewed by Miata Magazine, "Around 3500 rpm a new pull develops that increases with the RPM. Around 5,000 the power gain is easily noticed over the factory system. The Racing Beat intake will look good under any hood with its curvy aluminum elbow, but under its good looks is a performer."

Sport Compact Car Magazine reviewed this intake in the “The Great Intake Shootout” in the July 2000 issue and stated the following: “This intake was the puzzler of the test. Despite its higher intake temperatures, it remains the power king of the temperature-corrected dyno tests. Due to that fact, it's our favorite. Its hard to argue with the most power, the best sound and the best price in one intake. Plus it takes minutes to install and looks pretty cool.” To review this article, click here.

Only minimal effort is required to complete the installation of this assembly, with all mounting hardware and fully detailed instructions included. Use of the K&N Filter Charger Kit is an inexpensive way to clean, protect and prolong the life of your air filter.


Cruise Control Note: This intake assembly comes supplied with mounting hardware to re-position the factory installed cruise control actuator.
