If you're looking to give your 2006-2007 Mazda5 2.3L Non Turbo a little extra kick, the HPS Polish shortram air intake with a heat shield is a solid choice. This isn't just some flashy accessory; it's designed to genuinely boost your horsepower and torque while keeping your throttle response sharp. The mandrel-bent aluminum tube is all about that smooth airflow, and it replaces the stock air box that can really hold you back.

Now, let’s talk about that heat shield. It’s not just there for looks; it helps keep the intake cool, which is crucial for performance. And if you're caught in a downpour, this shortram setup is a lifesaver—way more forgiving than a cold air intake when it comes to water intake. Plus, the installation is a breeze. You won’t need to mess around with tuning or risk getting a check engine light, which is a huge relief for anyone who’s not a fan of the diagnostic dance.

The kit comes with a clear installation manual that walks you through the process with helpful pictures, so even if you’re not a pro, you can get it done without too much hassle. And no modifications are needed—just bolt it on and go!

One of the standout features is the HPS high-flow air filter. It’s washable and reusable, so you won’t be constantly shelling out cash for replacements. Plus, it's made right here in the USA, which is always a nice touch. The reinforced silicone hoses and the industrial-grade stainless steel T-bolt clamps are built to last, even if you’re pushing your Mazda to the limit.

Here’s a quick rundown of what you’re getting:

• Performance gains that you can actually feel—more horsepower, more torque, and a snappier throttle response.
• No tuning needed after installation, which is a big plus.
• Lightweight aluminum piping that optimizes airflow and dissipates heat effectively.
• Durable, race-proven silicone hoses and stainless steel clamps for reliability.
• Easy-to-follow installation manual included.
