KTS Induction Suction Tube for Mazda RX8 (Series 1 & 2, 2003-2012)

Replace the restrictive factory intake tube with a smooth, larger-diameter pipe that reduces turbulence, improves airflow, and supports future power modifications.

$250

This polished aluminium induction suction tube from KTS is a direct replacement for the flexible OEM rubber pipe on Mazda RX8 Series 1 & Series 2 models (2003–2012), providing a smooth, rigid airflow path that improves throttle response and intake efficiency under all driving conditions.

  • Replaces the restrictive factory rubber intake hose that can deform and disrupt airflow
  • Delivers an immediate increase in throttle response and acceleration feel, especially from low to mid RPM
  • Polished aluminium construction adds a high-performance look to the engine bay
  • Maintains a smooth, uninterrupted path for air to reach the engine, supporting more consistent breathing

You will notice crisper throttle response and a slightly more aggressive intake sound, making your RX8 (2003–2012) feel sharper and more eager on both the street and back roads.

For the best results, pair this KTS tube with the ODULA Ram Air Intake Type RS and a high-flow panel filter like the GREDDY TRUST AIRINX-GT or the full RX8 Air Intake Upgrade Kit.
