Just bought my very first Mazda 2 sport 2012. First ever owned Mazda and I love it. Never been too much of a car guy but I'm really looking forward to learning the culture and making mods like this. Both performance and just for fun.
Just went and looked at a 2011 2 with 150k. Felt lively and shifted great. I'm probably going to buy it tomorrow and your channel was a big part of that. I've been looking for something reliable, economical, and something I can still have a bit of fun with. After my experience today and watching most of your 2 videos, I think I've found my answer. I can give my RX-8 a break soon. Cheers.
Nice video once again. I had the same problem with the long screws, I used a random washer. I installed the intake on my car with the stock exhaust, I noticed a huge difference. I think it’s safe to say you’re not hearing as big difference because of the exhaust. Enjoy the intake!
You too?! You got yours a while back, even. After I posted in the group about it, they said they would look at the problem. Interesting it’s been going on this long. Not a huge deal, just surprising.
Great video!! As you and LeadFootLiam I had the same problem with the screwers but I buy a new ones in a store to fixed, I like how sounds your exhaust!!!
Performance wise I think it is a downgrade because it will heat soak fast. Using the same MAF housing and new tubes to move the air filter behind the driver's fog light would be much better. An other option is using something like a BMC CDA with a hose from the front gril for cold air feed.
Hi thanks for the great videos. I almost viewed them all last weekend. I bought some ddm parts you viewed in your videos. Can’t wait to install them on my Mazda 2 :) thanks and don’t stop making these. Btw you mentioned that the tube got hot while driving ( on the air intake) is that something I should worry about? Thanks
Thanks! I appreciate the support! The tube being hot is just naturally what happens. It’s hot in the engine bay and metal absorbs heat. It’s normal. Heat isn’t good for power, which is why I said I could wrap the tube in heat shield material to keep it cooler. That’s all.
Thanks for the quick answer. Yeah I will wrap it then like you mentioned. I bought the bushes and short shifter as well. So can’t wait to start my project :) thanks and I will be following you and probably ask you some more questions in the future lol 👍
Hey man, big fan here. Great job on another video! Your channel has been a great help to my family and me as we daily a 2013 Mazda 2 and since there's so little content about our car online you've been a very valuable resource to us. So our little silver rocket is nearing 75k miles and I was wondering if there's anything I should change or keep an eye out for at this mileage? At our next oil change I plan on changing the spark plugs, replacing the PCV valve and air filter, as well as cleaning the throttle body and MAF sensor. Our car currently runs great but I try not to neglect anything so if there's anything you think I left out I'd love to hear your suggestions. Oh, and should I keep an eye out for carbon buildup in the engine? Thanks man!
Thanks! I’m glad to be of some help! All of those maintenance jobs sound spot on! The PCV valve might be a little unnecessary at that mileage, but it’s not like it’ll hurt to change. Our green car is nearing 110k miles and has never had it changed. The 2 is really simple to take care of. Just follow the intervals in the owner’s manual and replace/clean any other small things that might need it and they’ll run forever. 👍🏻
Thanks man! By the way, do you know what the spark plug torque spec is for the 2? I researched everywhere and couldn't find a solid answer. I think it's safe to say the engine block is aluminum and not cast iron at least.
I probably have just had bad luck with mine then. Had to replace my catalytic converter earlier this year, my front wheel bearing this summer and now i have another issue with my exhaust.
It’s definitely a rarity for them to have major issues. If they’re neglected by a previous owner or if you have harsh winters, I’m sure something is bound to go wrong eventually.
Have you ever considered installing nitrous in the 2? Could be a decently affordable and safe option with tuning ofc for adding 50-75 hp to the wheels ! Thinking about it for my Mazda 2 since it's not the most powerful car lol
I’ve never even heard of someone else in the 2 community using nitrous, so I’m sure there is limited or no knowledge about using it for our cars. Plus, there’s nowhere to refill nitrous bottles near me anyway. I think it would be too much of a hassle to be worth doing.
If a better SRI design was possible, I’m sure it would be available. There isn’t much room in that part of the engine bay, so design is limited. The other option is a cold air intake. 👍🏻
How much do they cost? I definitely want to get a tune done one of these days. I wasn’t really hoping for a power increase with the intake alone, but with a tune it will be far more beneficial.
The tunes are pretty pricey with OVT. However, they seem very convenient as they are E-Tunes. Only downside is that you need a wide open space to do WOT runs for logging. A tune through Dynotronics is marginally less expensive, though you have to ship them your ECU. Both require a Tactrix OpenPort Cable for logging and tuning purposes. Samsies with E-Tuning. I'd suggest get a hold of a HotPipes Header and tune once and be done with it. Andres had huge success in AutoX with the Header and a OVT tune, said it transformed the car. Estimated 120bhp, that's more than enough to move these cars.
Kyle Murphy I started off with dynotronics and after a year of almost nothing and issues I emailed ov and paid the extra and within three days we started tuning. The price is more for using ov but I would highly recommend paying the difference
I have a standard K&N filter in my air box. Ive noticed a huge difference when driving. Much more power. I wanted to know would installing the Ddm kit devalue the car or not really. Where did you get the parts from. Can i get them from Australia :)
An air intake isn’t a permanent modification, so it has no real effect on the car’s resale value. Not that Mazda2s are particularly valuable or highly sought after. Haha There’s a link in the video description to their website, and yes, they ship internationally.
You’re in the part of the world where all the headers are! We have to import them to the US from places like Thailand. Lots of people here get Hot Pipes headers for their 2s. There are other places that make them, but are difficult for us Americans to contact. Just do your research and you should be able to find one easily! 👍🏻
Mine already have a decat exhaust installed with hyperflow resonator and muffler. K&N replacement kit, piggyback, crawford ecoblock and air charger. I got 132 Hp on wheels but still feel a bit heavy when it hits 90-100 mph...
Because it’s virtually identical to the CorkSport intake and costs less. Additionally, DDM Works is a small(er) business that supports the Mazda2 community, whereas CorkSport has pretty much abandoned the platform.
HiroshimaSpirit what's your take on cold air intakes? I've been debating on whether I should go with a short ram or cold air. Also if you were to choose from AEM and Injen is there one you would prefer?
You honestly won’t notice a difference between the two. The SRI is so popular because you get the same effect, it costs less, and it dresses up the engine bay. A cold air intake puts the filter way down behind the bumper cover, so it’s more complicated to install and also at a higher risk of sucking in water if you drive through some that’s deep enough. I personally recommend the SRI.
Little to no difference without tuning. It felt a little punchier from 3 to 5k rpm, but I dunno if that was just a placebo butt dyno reaction. Haha This mod alone is more for sound, really. One day when I can get the car tuned it’ll definitely help make more power.
If you go cat-less (or already are, have no idea), you do get over 6bhp increase. My old 1.3 had a cold air intake pointed down towards the lower cold air, and being straight piped, I dyno-d it at 92bhp (vs 86 on the spec sheet) and some 128 Nm if I remember correctly...
All of the ones Kyle listed are great, but don’t be afraid to buy off of places like eBay as well. With the rise of PayPal and buyer protection, buying things on the internet isn’t as shady as it used to be. Just avoid obviously illegitimate looking places and you’ll be fine. The 2 is a niche car with not a ton of parts available for it. With a bit of research, you’ll find that there aren’t too many places that even carry parts for the 2, and the reputable ones will be fairly obvious. 👍🏻
Under normal driving there is no real difference in fuel consumption. You’re going to want to floor it all the time, though, so in reality your mileage will suffer. lol
I was wondering if u would recommend this for my Mazda 2. It’s an automatic tho. Plus I really want that exhaust system u have on mine! Would u recommend that? Plus where did u get it and how much was the system?
Dang! How would I go about custom making one for mine? Do u have a link maybe? And also how much did yours cost to make and ship? Thanks again. Hopefully u don’t get annoyed by me lol :)
I bought mine second hand from another 2 owner who made it himself. It’s 2” tubing from the factory exhaust manifold back with a Magnaflow muffler. Any muffler shop should be able to make it for you.
how about doing this mod on AT transmission? it make lose power or increase power ? at other comment u said it more punch at 3k-5k rpm. can this one do on AT transmission too? I'm a big fan of HiroshimaSpirit ✌️✌️
A regular K&N drop in filter will make no noticeable difference compared to any other oem-style paper filter. Their only real redeeming quality is that they’re washable and can be reused.
Hi. I was ready to buy it from but the website has this note. "This intake has not been submitted for California CARB approval. Will it fail the CA smog check? I know nothing about additions or mods. But I would like to have this mod. Thanks
The intake is not CARB approved, but I also don’t know if it would cause you to fail a smog check or even a visual inspection. It is easy enough to reverse for the stock intake if need be, but it’s ultimately up to you.
I’ve got a question which I’m hoping you may be able to answer. I added a short ram intake on my 2012 Mazda 2 and the engine light came on so I reset my ecu which allowed it to go away but when I took it on a test drive the engine light, oil light and battery light came on when I came to a stop and shut my engine off. Anychance you know a fix for this ?
@@HiroshimaSpirit Thanks for the reply :) Yeah i mean the 1.3 Gasoline Engiene. it´s kinda confusing with the whole 1348ccm thing but i guess i´ll give it a try then. My short shifter arrived yesterday andd i´m feeling enthusiastic for more mods
@@HiroshimaSpirit thanks for the honest (and quick) reply. I can't find much info online for the 1.6L BK so anything close to it is good enough for me! Enjoy the videos
hello bro good video You know I did the same as you, but when I accelerate it chokes and it doesn't go over 4000rpm and it's a little unstable when starting, do you know what it could be???
@@misterpopo30 I’m not certain but I think installing an aftermarket lower dog bone mount should help a bit with the choking around 4000. Not for sure but I plan to get one
Have you run the code to narrow the search of potential issues? If not, do that first. Make sure everything is tight to rule out a vacuum leak and clean your MAF sensor for good measure. 👍🏻
HiroshimaSpirit I cleaned my MAF sensor and everything, I made sure to disconnect my battery for 30mins and everything, Auto Zone says its the MAF sensor thats messed up BUT the car is running fine, it was running rough at first but after driving around seems like the computer learned it was taking in more air but still have that Check Engine Light
If the code is saying MAF sensor, then that’s probably the issue. Maybe try cleaning it again and be sure that it’s completely secured. It’s of course facing the right way, I assume? If the problem persists you might have just had some rotten luck and need to replace it. I’m not sure what else to look for or do. Which intake are you using?
HiroshimaSpirit Im using a K&N Filter with custom piping, everything is secured, MAF and everything, all clamps are sealed tight, only thing I can think of is a vaccum leak, but how would I determine exactly where thats at? Also it could be the MAF itself, when I disconnect the battery and reconnect it, check engine light goes away
Nobody claimed that this is a cold air intake, but ok. Intake temperature isn’t the only thing that plays into changing how an engine creates power, but since you mentioned it, this intake was pulling in air at about the same temperature as the stock intake. Feel free to check out my videos about converting this into a cold air intake. The car now pulls air that is within ten degrees of ambient, well below what the stock or short ram intakes did.
hello friend, another question. But if I mount this cone filter and drive normal, consumption is always higher than normal? or are consumption the same as those of the original air box?
As a Mazda 2 owner you now have a new subscriber
Glad you enjoy the channel! Thanks for watching! ✌🏻

Great video....it was the perfect tuition for fitting the same kit this afternoon. Thank you Sir
Thank you for watching! ✌🏻
I just got a 2. Its stock everything. Hope I can turn this ride up ☝
Go for it! If you think it’s fun now, just wait until you install some mods. 👀

Greetings from Puerto Rico. Great video, I just bought an 2017 Mazda 2. Great Cars.
Indeed they are! Thanks for watching!
which catback do you have? the car is sounding great. I'm thinking of upgrading down to a mazda2 from a mk7 gti.
My exhaust is custom made. I’m glad you’re considering a 2, but I’d call it a downgrade compared to a current gen Golf GTI, honestly. lol
HiroshimaSpirit oops don't k ow why I said upgrade. more of a better cost of ownership situation haha
Ah, I feel ya there. The 2 is a great little car that’s cheap to own and maintain. Nothing ever goes wrong with them. Not a bad choice!
I probably have just had bad luck with mine then. Had to replace my catalytic converter earlier this year, my front wheel bearing this summer and now i have another issue with my exhaust.
It’s definitely a rarity for them to have major issues. If they’re neglected by a previous owner or if you have harsh winters, I’m sure something is bound to go wrong eventually.
Loving these frequent uploads! Also first
Thanks, man! ✌🏻
Good vid, keep 'em coming. Truly enjoy watching.
Thanks! I appreciate it! ✌🏻
Hey mate do you have any links to where you buy the ddm intake? Cheers! Love your channel! Keep it up, they are awesome little cars 👍🏻
Didn’t notice you put the link in the description!
They are indeed awesome cars!
Hiya mate, in process of ordering all the bits for my Mazda 2, what exhaust have you got on yours? Really like the sound of it 👍 love your vids btw
Custom. I made I video about it. Thanks for watching!

Do it and make a video!
I've just installed a new K&N panel filter.
Any difference from the intake noise.
Corksport makes cowls that clip in where the accordian goes.
I know, but making one myself = more videos. 😉
Plus, they’re priced nearly the same as a whole intake, which is WAY more than I’m willing to pay for molded plastic.
Glad TH-cam helped fund this for ya 😃
Me too. Hopefully this keeps funding my hobby for years to come! Thanks for watching!
Nice intake! Shouldn't be better an L tube receiving direct airflow instead the rect one receiving it from right side?
If a better SRI design was possible, I’m sure it would be available. There isn’t much room in that part of the engine bay, so design is limited. The other option is a cold air intake. 👍🏻
I would really recommend getting orange virus tune for the 2. I thought it was much more worth it than the cs intake I got
How much do they cost? I definitely want to get a tune done one of these days. I wasn’t really hoping for a power increase with the intake alone, but with a tune it will be far more beneficial.

Have you ever tried just to remove the stock intake hose and compare the indication sound with the sound of the ddm intake?
I have a standard K&N filter in my air box. Ive noticed a huge difference when driving. Much more power. I wanted to know would installing the Ddm kit devalue the car or not really. Where did you get the parts from. Can i get them from Australia :)

Hey, the part that the airflow sensor goes in. What’s it call, how could I find the complete thing on eBay
Cork sport has a cold air dam for those
So why do you change the intake, is it better power or something about the noise?
How can I go about finding a similar sounding exhaust as yours?
I want to ask you do you recommend in hks hi power exhaust system if you know some information about sound........ Plz answer me if you can
I have no experience with that exhaust. Mine is custom made, to answer your other question.
Will this fit on the 2010 1.3 Mazda as well?
Can it be fitted on the mazda 3 1.6 is basicaly the same engine but different stroke... Not sure about the size of the throttle body.
I've heard the later year models, eg. 2020/21 have issues after changing the air intakes ?!🤔 What year is your Mazda sir ?
2014
Thanks it's a very detail video....
I have mazda 2 in indonesia but in automatic 😅... i want to know what kind of header setup i have to get for my 2?
You’re in the part of the world where all the headers are! We have to import them to the US from places like Thailand. Lots of people here get Hot Pipes headers for their 2s. There are other places that make them, but are difficult for us Americans to contact. Just do your research and you should be able to find one easily! 👍🏻
Yeah i know you have been ordering some exhaust system from ord exhaust. I like to buy it too but because mine is auto i still confuse.
Mine already have a decat exhaust installed with hyperflow resonator and muffler. K&N replacement kit, piggyback, crawford ecoblock and air charger. I got 132 Hp on wheels but still feel a bit heavy when it hits 90-100 mph...
Is there a reason why you chose the DDM Works SRI vs the Corksport SRI?
Because it’s virtually identical to the CorkSport intake and costs less. Additionally, DDM Works is a small(er) business that supports the Mazda2 community, whereas CorkSport has pretty much abandoned the platform.

Great video, thank You but Can it be installed In a 2009-2010 mazda 2?
Yes, the 2 was the same globally from 2007 to 2014. We only got it starting in 2011 in North America.
@@HiroshimaSpirit Thank You for clearing that for me. Love your mazda 2 vidoes
Plz give me the website to buy the air intake online and thank you a lot
I don’t have the sport I have the 1.3 petrol so is it still worth buying ?
Depends on if you want more induction noise. It’s not making even a 1.5 any faster.
Hello can it fits for my mazda 2 2008 1.3???
Yes
Hmm... Any performance difference?
Little to no difference without tuning. It felt a little punchier from 3 to 5k rpm, but I dunno if that was just a placebo butt dyno reaction. Haha

might be a stupid question but when your driving whats the device you've got the the left of the wheel?
It’s a “Turbogauge” OBDII gauge. Gives me all kinds of real-time read outs like coolant and intake air temperature. I have a video on it.
Hey love your videos and mods!!! Can I adapt this to my 2012 Mazda 5 , 2.5 L?
Thanks! CorkSport makes an intake like this specifically for the Mazda5. 👍🏻
Got it! My next project car will be a Mazda 2! I love what you did to yours
They’re certainly cheap enough and good enough to consider. I hope you do!
How about fuel consumption?
Under normal driving there is no real difference in fuel consumption. You’re going to want to floor it all the time, though, so in reality your mileage will suffer. lol
@@HiroshimaSpirit is there any difference in mileage after u modified ur intake pipe?
This may be a dumb question but does this make any noticeable difference to the speed? Sorry I don’t really know jack about cars
Speed, no. How the power is delivered, yes.
What if you don’t plug the little hoze in does it do something to your car and what is it for
It’s a vacuum hose and it’s there for a reason.
bit of a weird one... what if you want something along those lines but for a 1.6diesl
Can’t speak for diesels. We didn’t get them here.

@@HiroshimaSpirit pity I was hoping to do this mod unfortunately cant find anything in my country.
They will ship it to you. It’ll just cost more.
@@HiroshimaSpirit I suppose its the only option or maybe have one made up... thanks for the help with the video .
You don’t need to cover the other open hose of the intake?
Why would you? No air is going through and it doesn’t lead to the engine anymore.
@@HiroshimaSpirit ah i see now… thanks
Hey man! Would this work and make a difference in sound on the 1.3 engine?
It’s the exact same engine as mine but 200cc smaller. The results will be the same. 👍🏻

Yup! I’ve made several other videos about my intake setup as well, if you’re keen to have a look.
HiroshimaSpirit thanks 👍🏾
You think you could do it to the diesel version? And get anything meaningful out of it?
Don’t know. I don’t own a diesel version and we didn’t get them here.
I was wondering if u would recommend this for my Mazda 2. It’s an automatic tho. Plus I really want that exhaust system u have on mine! Would u recommend that? Plus where did u get it and how much was the system?

how about doing this mod on AT transmission? it make lose power or increase power ? at other comment u said it more punch at 3k-5k rpm. can this one do on AT transmission too? I'm a big fan of HiroshimaSpirit ✌️✌️
It works for automatics just fine. Go for it!
And thanks for your support!✌🏻
I wish my car is manual transmission, and too bad ddmworks dont ship to Guam.
I bought a mazda 2 venture a few months back. Does putting a K & N filter on improve acceleration, MPG, speed, sound? Can it damage your car?
A regular K&N drop in filter will make no noticeable difference compared to any other oem-style paper filter. Their only real redeeming quality is that they’re washable and can be reused.

Does this kit require a tune or is it plug n play?
Plug and play, but a tune will optimize the effects.
@@HiroshimaSpirit thanks brother, love the channel and am getting my Mazda 2 this Thursday! Stoked brother!
I’ve got a question which I’m hoping you may be able to answer. I added a short ram intake on my 2012 Mazda 2 and the engine light came on so I reset my ecu which allowed it to go away but when I took it on a test drive the engine light, oil light and battery light came on when I came to a stop and shut my engine off. Anychance you know a fix for this ?
I don’t, sorry. Maybe make sure you don’t have a vacuum leak or a pinched vacuum line that leads from the intake.
@@HiroshimaSpirit ok cheers, think it’s to do with my air flow sensor
I own a 2008 Mazda 2 With the 1.4 MZR Engiene. Would this work on the smaller engiene too?
This intake will work on the 1.3L and 1.5L MZR engines. The 1.4 and 1.6 diesels it will not.
@@HiroshimaSpirit Thanks for the reply :) Yeah i mean the 1.3 Gasoline Engiene. it´s kinda confusing with the whole 1348ccm thing but i guess i´ll give it a try then. My short shifter arrived yesterday andd i´m feeling enthusiastic for more mods
I got a Mazda 3 BK sedan with a 1.6L engine so I'm assuming it's the same fitment and result?
I cannot confirm that it will work or fit on a Mazda3, despite the 1.6 being mostly the same as our 1.5, sorry.
@@HiroshimaSpirit thanks for the honest (and quick) reply. I can't find much info online for the 1.6L BK so anything close to it is good enough for me! Enjoy the videos
U sound just like my other favorite TH-camr lgr reviews. Its uncanny. Lol
It’s the autism.
Can it work for a mazda demio 2 2010?
Mechanically it’s the same car. Don’t see why not.
Hey do you know if this intake fits on mazda 2 2009 year...on internet page ddm it says that is only for 2011-2014?
Yes, it will fit. They’re an American company and we only got the MZ2 from ‘11 to ‘14, so that’s why only those years are listed.
HiroshimaSpirit thank you...one more thing..i guess that exhaust you have does not have papers for homologation...in Slovenia we need these papers
Skyactive engine or not ??
Not
@@HiroshimaSpirit just to say then, that there has been some issues using such air intakes on later skyactiv models !😑
Is this Mazda a 1300?
1500
hello bro good video You know I did the same as you, but when I accelerate it chokes and it doesn't go over 4000rpm and it's a little unstable when starting, do you know what it could be???
I don’t, sorry
i have a similar problem in an automatic
@@gilmadrid6322 Mine is also automatic, maybe that's why it doesn't work correctly..
@@gilmadrid6322 It actually works fine but it also makes the fan run longer, I haven't been able to find anyone to tweak that.
@@misterpopo30 I’m not certain but I think installing an aftermarket lower dog bone mount should help a bit with the choking around 4000. Not for sure but I plan to get one
Dude I need help I put a CAI on my Mazda 2 and now I have a check engine light
Have you run the code to narrow the search of potential issues? If not, do that first. Make sure everything is tight to rule out a vacuum leak and clean your MAF sensor for good measure. 👍🏻
HiroshimaSpirit I cleaned my MAF sensor and everything, I made sure to disconnect my battery for 30mins and everything, Auto Zone says its the MAF sensor thats messed up BUT the car is running fine, it was running rough at first but after driving around seems like the computer learned it was taking in more air but still have that Check Engine Light
HiroshimaSpirit how can I check for Vaccun leaks?
If the code is saying MAF sensor, then that’s probably the issue. Maybe try cleaning it again and be sure that it’s completely secured. It’s of course facing the right way, I assume? If the problem persists you might have just had some rotten luck and need to replace it. I’m not sure what else to look for or do. Which intake are you using?
HiroshimaSpirit Im using a K&N Filter with custom piping, everything is secured, MAF and everything, all clamps are sealed tight, only thing I can think of is a vaccum leak, but how would I determine exactly where thats at? Also it could be the MAF itself, when I disconnect the battery and reconnect it, check engine light goes away
Nice 😉😁
Pleace traslade in spanich
Use a uni filter not knk
Last!
Hot air intake !! The only cold air intake is the way the car was designed . nothing but fluff
Nobody claimed that this is a cold air intake, but ok.
Intake temperature isn’t the only thing that plays into changing how an engine creates power, but since you mentioned it, this intake was pulling in air at about the same temperature as the stock intake. Feel free to check out my videos about converting this into a cold air intake. The car now pulls air that is within ten degrees of ambient, well below what the stock or short ram intakes did.
You have a great little car I love it
4:10 wear your seat belt my dude
lol What? 4:10 is a shot of me talking and in all the clips that came before that, my belt was both on and not even shown on screen.
Hi friend, can I use this cone filter dell ddm works, in my Mazda 2 2008 1.3 petrol 75hp?
Should work fine. 👍🏻
@@HiroshimaSpirit THANKS MAN!
hello friend, another question. But if I mount this cone filter and drive normal, consumption is always higher than normal? or are consumption the same as those of the original air box?
Depends on how you drive the car. With the aftermarket intake, you will be tempted to use more throttle more often, so consumption may vary. 😉
@@HiroshimaSpirit Thanks again for your quick reply. However I warn you that you have an audience, which follows you from Italy.
