aFe 56-10020R is the Takeda Stage-2 open-element intake for the specified 2014–2018 Mazda 3 2.0L application. One Pro 5R filter fits the open XLPE housing with built-in scoop and top-edge seal. The original MAF transfers to the XLPE tube, while the original PCV connection inserts into the silicone bellows.
The exact manufacturer pages and linked 16-page manual specify Mazda 3 2014–2018 with the naturally aspirated 2.0L engine. Existing named rows are retained below, but a trim name alone does not prove engine fitment. Exact retailer tables list Touring 2017–2018, whereas other engine-qualified selected-part tables limit the 2.0L Touring to 2017. Mazda’s official 2018 announcement identifies Touring with the 2.5L engine. The existing 2018 Touring coverage is an unresolved source conflict and is not a new 2.5L approval. Verify actual engine, housing and connections; no later-generation, turbo or related-engine fitment is inferred. Original bounds and named coverage remain unchanged pending that exact qualification.

The exact manual BOM reverses the filter media labels: it calls TF-9028D Pro 5R and TF-9028R Pro DRY S. Its own accessory page and the exact current selected-media service reference resolve TF-9028R as Pro 5R. Only one selected filter is supplied. The illustrated filter-flange clamp has no separate service code/count in the BOM. Transfer two lower mounting grommets and the additional side grommet, plus the original two inlet bushings and scoop screws. The optional plug is listed but has no dedicated illustrated installation step. No replacement PCV hose, extra elbow, MAF extension or check-valve hose is listed. Do not borrow related-kit M4 length, mounts, torque or recheck mileage. Service supplies are separate.
aFe Power develops application-specific intake, filtration, exhaust, cooling, tuning, suspension, drivetrain, and truck-performance components supported by product testing and documented installation requirements.
One TF-9028R Pro 5R filter; the alternate media is not a second supplied filter.
Why do the manual filter labels conflict?Its BOM reverses the R/D media labels. Its accessory page and exact current service references identify R as Pro 5R and D as Pro DRY S.
Is this a closed window housing?No. It is an open XLPE Stage-2 housing with a built-in scoop and top seal.
Does a new PCV hose come with the kit?No replacement hose is listed. Reconnect the original PCV fitting into the silicone bellows port.
Which original mounts transfer?Two lower grommets, the additional side grommet, two inlet bushings and the two inlet-scoop screws.
What MAF screws are supplied?Two M4 Torx screws; their length is not stated in the exact BOM. Transfer the original sensor.
Does a Touring trim name prove engine fitment?No. The manufacturer specifies 2.0L; the existing 2018 Touring row has conflicting exact retailer evidence and requires engine/housing verification.
What torque and recheck interval apply?Neither a numeric torque nor a mileage interval is stated in the exact manual.
Verify aFe 56-10020R. Work on a cool engine and disconnect the negative battery terminal as directed. Remove the engine cover, disconnect and remove the original MAF, and release its harness clip. Loosen the upper-airbox tube clamp, release the two housing clips and remove the upper box. Retain the two inlet-scoop screws. Gently pull the original PCV hose from the intake tube, loosen the throttle-body clamp and remove the original tube and lower housing. Transfer two original lower grommets and the additional side grommet to the new housing, followed by the two inlet bushings. Angle the selected filter down into the open housing, rotate it and push the flange through the opening until it snaps into place. Install the 27-inch top seal. Seat the housing and secure its scoop using the original screws. Fit the bellows at the throttle body and reconnect the original PCV fitting into its top port. Insert the tube into the bellows, rotate it downward into the filter, align and secure the clamps. Install the original MAF using the supplied M4 screws and a T20 driver, reconnect its harness and restore the engine cover. Restore the negative battery connection before operation and check all connections. The exact manual supplies no numeric torque or mileage recheck interval.
The exact linked flow chart shows 325 CFM Pro 5R, approximately 71% above stock 190 CFM at 7 inches H2O, consistent with the current selected-page figures. The selected-media Dynojet chart shows SAE correction and smoothing 5. At marked 5,576 rpm, 120.80 versus 111.86 hp and 113.78 versus 105.35 lb-ft differ by 8.94 hp and 8.43 lb-ft. Independent maxima 134.90 versus 125.46 hp differ by 9.44 hp; 128.53 versus 122.51 lb-ft differ by 6.02 lb-ft. Marked-point and independent-peak comparisons differ. The image supplies no dated-run, model-year, fuel, exhaust, gear or fan notes to borrow from another chart. Results vary and do not establish additional fitment. The exact manufacturer pages and manual state this product is not CARB exempt and unavailable for purchase in California or use on California-registered vehicles.
