The CorkSport Advantage
Performance Gains:
The GEN4 Mazda 3 looks sporty but lacks a little in the performance department. If you’re looking to fix this issue, we’ve got your first step! By installing the CorkSport Mazda 3 Short Ram Intake, we saw gains of 5-7WHP and 5-7WTQ when testing back to back on our dyno with no tuning changes. Note: the vehicle tested did have a prototype CorkSport Axle Back Exhaust installed for both OEM and CS intake tests.
Sound and Style:
The CS Mazda 3 short ram intake has “show” to match the “go”. You gain a nice visual boost to your engine bay with the CS intake, especially since you can personalize your look by choosing your silicone, filter, and clamp color. The appearance and power come with a nice boost to sound too. When you get on the gas a nice growl from the engine can be heard which adds some excitement to driving your Mazda 3.
Precision Machined:
Each CorkSport cold air/short ram intake has a precision-machined billet MAF housing. We use a billet MAF housing to ensure the diameter of the intake where the MAF sensor is located is exactly the same diameter as the OEM intake. This ensures no check engine lights and keeps fuel trims in check. We’ve had 5 cars testing prototype intakes for hundreds of miles to confirm no check engine lights, even with Mazda’s sensitive new MAF sensor.
Dryflow Filter:
To ensure a long-lasting cold air intake system, a CorkSport Dry-Flow air filter is included. This style of filter offers high flow capacity with great filtration to keep your engine breathing clean air and without the use of oil for filtration your MAF sensor will not get dirty and compromised. Plus, the filters are washable and reusable!
Fit and Finish:
Rounding off the CorkSport short ram intake is a custom-designed silicone that connects to the throttle body and valve cover breather hose. This silicone is reinforced with 4 layers of nylon weave so you know it will stay strong for years to come. It also is completely smooth on the inside as opposed to the ribbed OEM rubber to encourage airflow. Finally, everything is tied together with stainless steel t-bolt clamps to ensure a leak-free installation!
- No tuning required.
- Does not work with 2024 or newer models
- Does not work with engines equipped with the EGR Cooler located on top of the intake manifold.
- Not confirmed to work with 2.0L engine. Use at your own risk.
- Some early production models may experience a CEL (Check Engine Light) with the use of the Short Ram Intake. If you have an early 2019 model you may need to get an update PCM ECU flash from your dealership to prevent this CEL.
- Solution: With OEM components installed, schedule an appointment with your local dealership. Request the updated PCM ECU flash for TSB #: 01-015/19.
- There will be some minor added engine induction noise as a result of installing this intake.

The CS intake is very easy to install, absolutely flawless installation process. The cold air box needs the OEM rubber isolators from the OEM box so make sure to keep those. I had to order three new ones from the dealer as I hadn’t kept mine.
Upon receiving my intake and cold air box I immediately wrapped them completely with DEI cool-tape on the outside. This proved to be problematic as I had wrapped the pipe that goes from the throttle body to the maf housing from end to end. As such the clamp had to go on top of the cool-tape, this actually caused the clamp to slip while driving and made the maf housing fall. I removed the cool-tape from under that clamp and there is no slippage since then.
I am using a different filter than the one that CS provided which is a very good filter. I am using the larger Injen X-1103-BB, which was recommended to me by Mazda Sauce Tuning.
I installed the intake without the box first and drove the car. The car was a noticeable smoother and had a little more throttle response. After I added the cold box, it ran slightly smoother still at very low rpm.
All in all, I think the CS intake with the cold box is the best kit out there for this car. Well done CS.
If you were to buy your own parts individually from China, there is a possibly better intake kit you can make. But it’s debatable, the CS kit can house a bigger filter whereas the Frankenstein intake has very slightly better flow dynamics.
Compared to the K&N intake, the CS is the clear winner here, unless you like more intake noise, then the K&N wins hands down as it is as always the king of intake noise.
Kudos to the Corksport team for creating such a high-quality product that screams classy from the minute you lay your eyes on it. Top-notch packaging ensuring the product was delivered safely and an on-point installation guide that makes the whole process fly by like a breeze and actually lets you enjoy the process of doing it yourself.
This surely is the first of many I would do to my ride. Thanks guys.
Also no video you find will be able to translate how good it actually sounds in person. Highly recommend.
