Description
Upgrade the airflow and throttle response on your turbocharged Mazdaspeed 3 or Mazdaspeed 6 with the Damond Motorsports Billet Intake Manifold — a precision-engineered performance intake solution designed for enthusiasts who demand peak performance, reliability, and race-inspired efficiency. Built from premium aerospace-grade billet 6061 aluminum, this modular manifold delivers improved airflow, superior fuel delivery flexibility, and robust build quality compared to the factory cast manifold and many aftermarket alternatives.
Unlike stock and most mid-tier intake manifolds, the Damond Motorsports design goes beyond simple styling — it’s built for optimized flow dynamics, modular fueling options, multiple throttle configurations, and accessory compatibility:
Precision Engineered Billet 6061 Aluminum – Maximum strength, corrosion resistance, and performance aesthetics.
Modular Runner Design – Each runner features generous large-radius inlets and tapered profiles that promote smooth, high-volume airflow into the head.
Dual Throttle Body Configurations – Choose centered throttle body feed (under manifold) or near OEM throttle position with J-pipe adapter to match build goals.
Balanced Bellmouth Plenum Feed – Helps even distribution of intake charge for consistent cylinder filling.
Modular Fueling Compatibility – Supports 14mm injectors and offers multiple fuel rail options including port injected (PI) or block-off configurations.
Accessory-Ready Ports – Multiple vacuum, PCV, catch-can, MAP, and EVAP ports allow clean tuning integration.
Banjo Sensor Mount & Clear Access – High-pressure fuel sensor banjo mount and ample clearance for turbo, harnesses, and plumbing make installation user-friendly.
This manifold stands out from other Mazdaspeed intake options such as OEM replacements or older sheetmetal pieces because it not only improves airflow potential but also future-proofs your engine bay for upgrades like port injection, larger injectors, and throttle body changes. Compared to alternatives like sheetmetal manifolds ($900–$1100+), this Damond design frequently offers better flow, easier install, and more fueling flexibility.
When you add this intake manifold to your cart, you can choose between two throttle body inlet configurations:
1. Bottom-Fed / Centered Throttle Body Mount
Description: Throttle body sits directly beneath the manifold for a more direct airflow path.
Benefits: Potential for improved airflow efficiency and throttle response.
2. J-Pipe (Near OEM Throttle Position)
Description: Allows throttle body to remain near its factory location using a J-pipe adapter.
Benefits: Easier mating to existing intake piping and minimal custom modification when using stock FMIC setups.
You can select the throttle body inlet style from the product variant dropdown on Damond’s site.
Fueling flexibility is one of the standout features of this manifold. You can choose from three fueling configurations to match your performance goals:
PI — Fuel Rail + Rail Mounts (Port Injection Ready):
Includes billet fuel rail, rail mounts, and support brackets for greater fuel flow and future port injection setups.
Non-PI — Injector Block-Off Plate:
Ideal if you do not plan on using port-injected fueling — the block-off plate covers injector bosses cleanly.
Both PI – Fuel Rail & Block-Off Plate:
Includes the rail, mounts and block-off plate, giving you the future-proof flexibility of swapping fueling options later without buying separate parts.
Direct Modular Bolt-Together Assembly: All interfaces use O-ring seals to reduce leak potential and improve reliability over cast manifolds.
Exceptional Fitment: Designed for a clean fit around stock valve covers and components. Includes dedicated MAP sensor port in OEM location and dipstick mount bracket.
Wide Accessory Compatibility: Vacuum fittings, PCV, BOV, EVAP, and catch can hookups make this manifold ideal for both daily builds and competition engines.
Q: Which vehicles is this intake manifold compatible with?
A: This manifold is designed for Mazdaspeed 3 (all DISI generations) and Mazdaspeed 6 platforms — matching 14mm injector spacing and throttle interfaces.
Q: Does it require custom tuning?
A: Yes, after fueling or airflow modifications, a proper ECU tune is required for optimized performance and safe fuel control.
Q: Can I use stock throttle bodies with this manifold?
A: Yes. The manifold supports both centered throttle body mounting and stock-style position via the included J-pipe option.
Q: Is this manifold compatible with future port injection if I upgrade?
A: Absolutely. The manifold features brackets and compatibility for 48mm and 34mm injector spacing, and can be configured to support port injection with PI rails.
Q: Does this manifold improve horsepower and torque?
A: While results vary with tune and supporting mods, users report improved throttle response, smoother airflow distribution, and potential gains especially on boosted builds compared to OEM and some aftermarket cast manifolds.
Q: Is installation difficult?
A: Installation is straightforward with basic tools. Multiple vacuum, MAP, and accessory ports help keep vacuum lines clean and easy to route.
