Since Mazda5 and Mazda3 share the same plateform, and engine. You can use the Cold Air Intake for Mazda3 on Mazda5. It is avalible already, average around $200 each system.

...I think an Intake would not be too hard to fab up after all it's just a tube with a cone filter on the end. You could mock it up with a pice of flex exhust hose and take it to a muffler shop and have them bend a piece of SS tube to fit and get it breathing a bit better

FWIW - it has been my experience that unless you do the intake, and exhaust, and re-program the chip to breath differently, you don't get a lot of bang for the buck. If you have your heart set on the K&N style filter set-up, make sure you disconect the battery for about 15 minutes after you install it, then drive it like you stole it for at least 30 miles, so the computer re-learns the operating parameters with the new free flowing air filter and you'll get the max performance out of the tube. I would not expect anything more than a 5% change though.
