Have you just picked up a Turbo Kit for your 2014-2018 Mazda 3 and want to ensure you get the most power out of your setup without sacrificing additional drone? Well, that was the driving factor during the development of this Non-Resonated 80mm Cat Back Exhaust so that it can be used in tandem with the Turbo Kit. Compared to the 80mm Cat Back Exhaust currently offered for the 2014-2018 Mazda 3, the Turbo Kit setup removes the resonators located in the Axle Back. During testing, we found that doing this greatly reduced the amount of drone heard in the cabin, while still providing an aggressive tone. If you currently have the 80mm Cat Back Exhaust then you can simply order the ABE by itself to enjoy the benefits of the tuned Turbo Kit specific combo. Check out the details below for further info on the exhaust.

While optimized for the Turbo Kit, you can run this on a Naturally Aspirated setup. Just note that the exhaust volume will be very aggressive.

The CorkSport Advantage

Performance Sound:

During testing we found that using the original 80mm exhaust made for NA Mazda 3’s produced more drone inside the cabin than what would be comfortable for most people. This led to the testing of multiple different combos of midpipes and axle backs with various resonator configurations. After testing was completed we chose to stick with the same midpipe setup, but updated the axle back to not have any resonators. This new combo builds upon the already fantastic sound that the original 80mm exhaust featured by adding an even more aggressive tone in the higher RPM range while maintaining lower drone levels than the original setup. Make sure to watch the video to get a glimpse of what you can expect out of the updated 80mm CBE for Mazda 3’s with the Turbo Kit.

Appearance Boost:

The Turbo Kit specific 80mm CBE retains the aggressive looks from the original setup featuring the same 100mm or ~4” exhaust tips. The exhaust tips found on the hatchback are slant cut with a dual wall construction to fill up the bumper cutouts and match the bumper profile. The sedan on the other hand features single wall tips so that no debris or water can get caught in the backside of the tips since they are angled downwards because there are no exhaust cutouts present in the bumper. Whichever setup you end up sporting will add a much-needed and appreciated look that will boost the aggressiveness of the rear of your car.

High Quality Materials & Manufacturing:

Each exhaust starts out with T-304 stainless steel piping that is then TIG welded and finally polished to a mirror like finish. This ensures that corrosion will not be an issue and the exhaust will last for many years to come. Each of the flanges on the exhaust are laser cut out of 9mm or ~3/8” thick material to help prevent any warping from occurring. Also included is all the necessary hardware including gaskets and step-by-step install instructions to make installation straightforward.

NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) in the cabin of your vehicle will be significantly increased by the installation of this exhaust. If you have any questions about the expected noise from the performance exhaust, please give us a call, at (360) 260-2675, so we can better help you understand what to expect from a performance exhaust. Please Note: Due to the nature of the product, all sales are final if the part has been installed.
Optimized for the CorkSport Turbo Kit, use on a naturally aspirated setup will be very loud and aggressive.

I had installed this on my 2018 Mazda 3 with the CorkSport Turbo Kit, and we also had the mid pipe resonator deleted as well, and its incredible, all you get is turbo whistle when just coasting. Its not too loud with the turbo kit either.

This with an NA set up is still very aggressive, and loud as well. Highly Recommended.

As a previous resonated 80mm CBE owner, I can say I love that I have made the switch. To be fair, I have the CorkSport turbo kit.. so the big ol’ 64mm turbo acts as a muffler to cut out any potential for rasp. I actually fabricated out the only remaining resonator on the midpipe to get a full straightpipe effect and am glad I did so. I can hear the turbo breathe out the back of the car, and it sounds incredible at any RPM. No drone, no rasp, just sweet turbo straightpipe perfection. I have also heard the same setup on a friends NA car and it is nowhere near as obnoxious I assumed it would be - sounded real damn good!

"Use on a N/A engine will be loud and aggressive" is absolutely right. This exhaust has a great note and is really loud but not overly obnoxious. Drone was a bit much initially but after a few weeks I hardly notice it. Really enjoyable at lower rpm and it screams going through tunnels. Excited to see how it transforms after getting the turbo kit.

Will this fit without a turbo kit and just OEM parts just for exhaust reasons?

If I buy this with the axle back fitment instead of cat back fitment does it still come with the midpipe? Also why does the cat back fitment cost an extra $500?
