2018+ Mazda 6 Turbo 2.5L & 2016+ CX-9, 2019+ Cx5 - Short Ram Intake System
Read on for full details and be sure to check out the video below! *** NOTE: Heatshield option is sold separately ***
Fit, Function, & Performance:
The CorkSport Short Ram Intake was specifically designed for the 2018+ Mazda 6 2.5T. The combination of a precision machined MAF housing, laminar flow silicone elbow, high flow dry-element air filter, and formed anodized mounting bracket.
Performance & Sound:
The factory airbox in the Mazda 6 not only restricts airflow, but also the many turbo induction noises. As an added bonus, the audible turbo and bypass valve sounds are greatly improved and increased with the CorkSport Short Ram Intake. This will put a smile on your face whether you’re commuting to work or attacking a back road. We highly suggest you watch the product video above if you haven’t yet.
Bolt-On Power Gains:
The improved flow and efficiency gained from the CS Short Ram Intake contributes an additional 5-16whp and 7-23wtq. This is achieved with no tuning or triggering check engine lights.
Precision Machined:
CorkSport MAF housings are CNC machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum for precise dimensional tolerance. The MAF sensor monitors all airflow entering the engine, therefore MAF alignment and consistency of the MAF housing inner diameter is critical for proper air fuel ratios and ECU engine management.
Laminar Flow:
Turbulence and flow resistance is the #1 leading killer of performance from your Mazda. The CorkSport SRI replaces the turbulent ribbed rubber coupler with a 4-ply reinforced silicone coupler. This reduces turbulence within the airflow entering your Mazda’s engine, thus increasing efficiency and power.
Dry-Flow Filter:
Filtration is key to a long-lasting and reliable performance intake; that’s why every CorkSport Intake System utilizes an AEM Dry-Flow Air Filter for its superior filtration and airflow. The dry-flow filter is washable and reusable

Does it fit a CX50 ? Without any modification ?
Is the intake currently legal in California? 4/19/23
These intakes are not CARB legal
Can the silicone tube be purchase separately.
Unless you already own an intake and it has been damaged, we don't sell the components separately. Please reach out via email to sales@corksport.com if you need more assistance
Being that it is not CARB approved, will you ship to California?
We do ship these to California
Looking at the graph, it seems like there is a whp and torque loss at the low end of the rpm range, is this the case? Or what is causing this large discrepancy? Asking because regular driving on cx5 turbo barely forces the engine to go above 3800 rpms.
The overall curve is dictated by the OEM parameters, so the lower power at the bottom of the range will be unchanged. However, you can see the intake does increase the power available at that range.
Will this fit the updated 2022 CX-5 turbo?
The motor is the same, it will work.
Are there any filter cleaning recommendations? Do they need to be oiled as well?
This is a dry filter, they don't need to be oiled. You can use any dry filter cleaning process, here is a link to the process: https://www.aemintakes.com/air-filter-cleaning-instructions
I have an 2019 CX5 GT non turbo and wanted to know can I use it for just the Whoosh sound (sounds very cool) even though isn't doing anything?
We make an intake that will fit your model, check this link: https://corksport.com/mazda-cx5-skyactiv-power-series-short-ram-intake-2.5-engine.html
Does it fit on the 2021 Mazda CX-30 2.5L Turbo?
No, we are releasing an intake specifically for that motor.
Will the car (providing no other issues are present) still pas California smog test?
The intake does not have a CARB #
would this work for the non turbo 2019 cx5?
It does not, this is for the turbo only.
Getting ready to purchase the SRI for my CX9, from what I see and how the hood seals since there is a FMI, I take it rain will not or shouldn't really be a issue with the SRI. Thank you.
Unless you are going to submerge your Cx9 or do some serious off roading it is not a problem.
will this work on mazda 6 non turbo 2019 model?
No, it is for the turbo only. search for part # ati-6-117 in our cart for the non turbo intake.
Will this fit a 2019 CX-5 with Skyactiv D diesel engine?
We have not tried, diesel models are very rare in North America.
Does my car need to be tuned for it to work at its fullest potential or will it still add the 8-12hp without tune?
You will likely see more gains with a quality tune, but the numbers posted were noted without one.
Does this fit my mazda3 2,2l twinturbo diesel from 2016? IF it does Which model should I choose?
We don't have that model in the US and are not able to test it. We currently don't have an application for that motor.
Wondering if this is officially CA legal or not. Any information is appreciated.
It does not have a CARB EO.
Sorry, for those less versed in lawyer speak, is it legal or not?
Since it does not have a CARB EO number it means it will not pass emissions. It's technically deemed for race use only in CA and other states that have the same emissions regulations.
So hang on to the stock box and swap out every time I go testing? ????
Is there any plans to make this intake legal in California?
At this point in time no there is not.
are there any plans to get a CARB number?
Does it fit ont cx5 turbo 2021.. im looking for more soud like a blow off valve or you know ... but i can’t find anything !
This does fit the CX5 turbo, it is the same motor.
Hello! Just purchased the combo SRI and Heatshield and can't wait to get it installed! Question...will this reduce my MPG?
The intake itself will not reduce MPG. But your heavy foot listening to all the turbo noises probably will!
Answer to MPG - I drive just as hard with the SRI as without, and while doing 105 mile round trip runs to San Francisco, have acrually noticed a consistent 1.2mpg increase. Interested to see if the heat shield will improve it even more.
Are there any changes to the 2021 cx9 AWD that would make this not fit properly?
will this fit 2021 mazda 3 turbo?
It will not, the MAF sensor and mounting bracket location are different on the turbo 3 models. We will be in the development of an intake for this soon.
Will this void my factory warranty?
It shouldn't.. But always check with your local dealer first.
would this work on non turbo 2019 cx5?
No it will not. This is for the turbo model only. We are currently testing the NA engines to make sure that the new 3 Wire MAF sensor will not trigger any check engine light
Will this work for the non turbo model of the mazda 6 2018?
This intake is for the turbo model only. We need to do testing with the NA models to verify our current Intakes work.
Would this void a factory or extended warranty?
Will this fit 2020 Mazda 3?
No, this is for the turbo engines. We will have an intake out for the 4th gen Mazda 3's soon. Hang tight!
Does this fit the 2020 CX9?
Yes
what is the approximate shipping weight?
Approximately 5 Lbs
Does your short ram intake need to be insulated from heat
This is a short version of a long answer. The turbo engine compresses the air charge which generates heat which is then run through an intercooler to cool the charge. The difference between an insulated and non insulated is there but it is small. We are looking at offering a airbox/heat shield for the future.
I can get this AND the boost tube correct
Yes
Where do you buy replacement filters? I don't see them elsewhere on your site.
You want to use this filer for the intake https://corksport.com/mazda-3.5-inch-filter-replacement.html
I have the Mazda 6 2018 Sport (187hp), so I can install this anyways??
It will not work properly. Email Sales@corksport.com with a picture of your OEM airbox and airflow sensor so we can work on getting you sorted out with an intake.
I recently bought and installed this on a 2018 Mazda 6 GT. LOVE the sound. One BIG note: The opposite end of the SRI tube where it connects to the factory plastic to turbo is an absolutely horrible transition. I know that the battery is mostly the reason that the oem piping is so narrow and restricting BUT are there plans to address this? If not I may do a battery relocate and then remove the oem plastic piping to the turbo with equal sized tubing from the SRI to the turbo.
We are working on this currently.
Is it washeable ?
The filter is washable.
Dose it fit CX-5 ?
We have not done the test fit in house but we have had customers report it fits the Cx5 turbo.
