I noticed that on our 2.5L Mazda6 there's a thick filter glued unto the stock Intake box. It's actually about 5 layers and the middle layer has some sort of foam/charcoal chunks. Weird. Our 2.0L engine does not contain this thick filter element. Did you guys with 2.5L CX-5s notice that filter?
I ended up removing mine as it seemed pretty restrictive. My initial acceleration seemed a bit smoother although it may be a placebo affect. Still it was a pretty restrictive 5 tiered filter glued to the box. Another thing I noticed was a ink stamping that said MRZ which from my understanding was Mazda's previous gen engine.
