Introducing the CorkSport Mid Pipe Exhaust Kit for 2019+ Mazda 3 2.5L Turbo and Non-Turbo Models and 2.0 SkyG. This kit is designed to let you add the performance 63.5mm mid pipes to your current CorkSport Axle Back Exhaust system. This kit adds some much needed sound to the 4th GEN 3 and improved performance! The CS mid pipe exhaust kit replaces everything from the header back with 63.5mm fully polished, mandrel bent, stainless steel piping. It's a step up in volume and aggressive tone from the CorkSport axle back exhaust, without introducing annoying drone or raspy tones.

The CorkSport Advantage
Sound Boost:
The CorkSport Mazda 3 mid-pipe exhaust kit completely replaces the OEM mid pipes with 63.5mm mandrel bent pipe and a pass-thru resonator. The larger pipe adds a great sound and tone for the backroads while the high-flowing resonators control drone so your car is still comfortable on the daily commute! We tested multiple resonator setups in both the axle back and midpipe sections and found that the asymmetric axle back design and large oval resonator in the midpipe results in the absolute best combination of tone, volume, and drone control for your MZ3.
Horsepower Gains:
What good is sound without a little power to go with it? Installing the CorkSport Mazda 3 Cat-Back Exhaust (with the CorkSport Short Ram Intake previously installed) netted us approximately 20wTQ and 10-18wHP. You can see significant gains from 2700rpm through the rpm range til redline at 6200rpm.
OEM Fitment:
Each CS mid pipe exhaust system was designed from the ground up to fit just like your OEM exhaust system. We offer two different midpipe setups for great fitment, no matter if your vehicle is AWD or FWD. Don’t worry though, both use the same resonator design so you know your car will sound great, regardless of your drivetrain!
Cylinder Deactivation:
If your Mazda 3 is equipped with cylinder deactivation don’t be worried because we have a solution for you. Utilizing a bracket made out of 304 stainless steel, you can mount your cylinder deactivation motor securely out of the way to ensure no check engine lights are set and also reduce the restriction caused by the factory internal valve.
Materials & Manufacturing:
The CorkSport Mazda 3 mid pipe exhaust is made from fully polished, mandrel bent, 304 stainless steel for a fantastic look that will stand up to the elements and keep your Mazda breathing easy. All joints use TIG welds for long lasting strength and all hanger locations have extra bracing to ensure a secure exhaust for years to come. Lastly, each exhaust comes with all hardware and gaskets that are needed for install to keep your install day running smoothly!
- Midpipe Only Upgrade: These, with your current CorkSport Axle Back Exhaust, will make a complete Cat Back Exhaust system.
- NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) in the cabin of your vehicle will be increased by the installation of this exhaust. We highly recommend you view the above video to hear the exhaust note inside and outside the vehicle.
- Cylinder deactivation will still function, but a more noticeable tone during cylinder deactivation will be heard with the non-use of the valve in the exhaust piping.
- Not confirmed to work with 2.0L SkyX engine. Use at your own risk.
- Exhaust will fit on vehicles equipped with the turbo engine, however, a larger CS exhaust is in development specifically for turbo models!
- Does NOT fit a CX-30.

How To Install The Mazda 3 Turbo and Non Turbo Exhaust Mid Pipe
It will take you about 2 hours to install the CorkSport Mazda Mid Pipe with our instructions.

On the first cold start, the Axle-Back vs Cat-Back sounds were pretty similar. After driving however, the deeper and louder tones from this midpipe are evident and HEAVENLY. I haven’t experienced any drone or issues… Zero regrets with this upgrade!
Previous to the install, since I bought the car 10,000 miles ago, I had a massive exhaust leak from the flex-pipe to mid-pipe flange.
The install was pretty straightforward. However the mid-pipe to axle back flange has a very minor exhaust leak and no matter how I tightened it, I cannot get rid of it. I called Corksport and followed their instructions over and over again with no luck on getting rid of that small exhaust leak. However there is no leak whatsoever from any of the other flanges. The stock system had a massive leak.
While installing the midpipe, I also came across many crazy corner cutting on the underside of my car. There were 3 bolts missing from the OEM chassis brace on the undercarriage, and there we also 2 washers missing. The exhaust hanger that hold the mid-pipe was a weird non-OEM hanger that is .5" shorter than the OEM one. I replaced all of these odd parts with OEM ones.
I'm happy that the mid-pipe finally doesn't have a massive leak from the header.
My car is much quieter now and pulls harder especially from 1,000 to 3,500 rpm.
This cat-back was recommended to my by my tuner, Daniel from DrTuned.
also I did whole trunk sound insulation (after installing axleback) which helped with the noise levels inside a ton and made catback sound quieter than axleback
do it fit with the magnaflow axel back
We have not confirmed fitment with a Magnaflow exhaust. It does retain the stock placement for the axleback connection though, so it can work on a OEM muffler.
This mazda 3 BP 2021 sedan can fit this set ?
This midpipe was designed to fit 2019-up Mazda 3 2.5L Turbo and Non-Turbo FWD & AWD and 2.0 Non SkyX engines.
Is this mid pipe compatible with Borla axle-back exhaust?
We cannot confirm it will fit the Borla axle back exhaust. However, we design our products to fit like OEM. The placement of the CorkSport Mid Pipe will sit where the mid pipe of the Mazda factory mid pipe would. You can always make the switch to a CorkSport Axle Back Exhaust if you determine things aren't going to work to convert to the Cat Back Exhaust ????????!
I have a 2018 Mazda CX 9 with CS Axleback installed. Will these mid pipe upgrade fit?
No, the CX9 and Mazda3 do not share the same exhaust.
What is the weight of the item? Can it be shipped overseas?
Ship weight is 34lbs, and yes we can ship it overseas.
What HP with just the mid pipe replacement provide on a 22 Mazda 3 2.5L non turbo sedan?
We have not tested the mid pipe kit alone for power gains.
Would this fit a 2022 cx-30?
The mid pipes are not compatible between the 3 and CX-30. We are close to releasing a cat back for the CX-30
Is it possible to add a ultra quiet resonator to the exhaust mid pipe kit? The aim is to reduce the drone and lower the sound of the setup (this also includes the full cat back exhaust kit).
Custom exhaust configurations are not available.
Will this fit on an 2018?
No, send an email to sales@corksport.com for info on the 3rd gen catback kit.
Would this fit with a different aftermarket axel back? I have one from borla
If the axle back mounts up to the OEM mid pipe, it should work with ours, but we can't guarantee it.
Will this fit with a Magnaflow Axel back exhaust.
We can't confirm it fits with that part, but if it paired with the OEM midpipe, it should.
How many extra HP will just the mid pipe deliver on my 2.5 NA Mazda 3 HB?
With an OEM axle back, not much. Paired with an aftermarket axle back, we saw an added 10-18wHP, without a tune.
will this work with the oem axel back ?
This will work with the OEM axle back set up.
Will I pass (ny) inspection with the midpipe? I'm asking because from what I understood it deletes secondary cat.
This does delete the secondary cat, check with local regulations to see if it will pass.
Can we expect the same or more hp gain on the 2.5T model? Thank you
The turbo models will see similar gains.
Are the listed HP and torque gains from the N/A or the Turbo model?
The dyno sheet is from the NA version.
Any dyno sheets for the 2.5t?
Not to be released yet, our 2.5T mule has a few projects on it.
Is a CX-30 Turbo version in development to go with the turbo axle-back? Sign me up if so.
We don't have a turbo kit for the 2.0 at this time.
