2014-2018 Mazda 3 2.0 SkyActiv Power Series Short Ram Intake
Description
Mazda3 Performance Air Intake.
If you want a simple modification that increases your power, and can improve gas mileage; the CorkSport Mazda3 SRI is for you. With quick installation, this plug and play piece is a great way to start getting more power out of your Mazda 3.
One of the easiest and most beneficial performance enhancements you can do for your vehicle, the CorkSport Mazda3 Power Series Short Ram Intake replaces your factory airbox with an open intake system allowing more air into the intake chamber. Engineered with exacting tolerances, the CorkSport SkyActiv SRI includes our precision machined MAF housing made from billet aluminum, a durable dry flow air filter and custom reinforced silicone connector. In initial testing with the 2.0 Liter SkyActiv engine, the Mazda 3 CorkSport Short Ram Intake netted peak gains of +5 HP and +6 lb torque at the wheels.
The CorkSport Advantage:
- Designed Specifically for SkyActiv Gasoline Engines*: CorkSport has developed a Mazda3 power series intake that will perform with the all-new SkyActiv engines
- Avoid Unwanted Check-Engine Lights: The MAF housing is precision machined from billet aluminum to prevent air leaks and inaccurate readings.
- Improve Power: Initial testing showed peak gains of +5 HP and +6 lb torque at the wheels with the 2.0L and 10hp
- Durable Dry Flow Air Filter: Reusable and water resistant, this unique non-woven filter media does not require oil to filter and trap dirt and actually sheds dirt under engine vibration unlike cotton-gauze which holds contaminates until you clean the filter
- Custom Reinforced Silicone Connector: Constructed from multi-layer nylon braid to provide more strength and power and a smooth internal transition for less turbulence and optimal flow
- Replacement Air Filter is: Available Here
- CorkSport Service and Support: Receive a 2-year warranty, full color installation instructions, all of the needed installation hardware, and knowledgeable telephone installation support

*Made for gasoline engines only. Will not work on diesel engines. With the CorkSport Intake installed on the SkyActiv engine, at higher RPM's you may hear a slight ticking from the opening and closing of the injectors. This is completely normal and is what helps increase torque and fuel economy.

Easy install and when paired with the cold airbox definitely produce some cool sound and great performance.

Great quality and easy to install + increased throttle response + looks super clean in blue + gain top end torque - loss of low end torque - minor heat soak

If you are having any doubts I’ll make it simple…Get it!!! Super easy to install and the clarity of the instructions made the install even easier and doubt free. I would also recommend purchasing the CS CAI Box as well as it definitely helps keep the intake air temps down.

I’ve had this installed in my 2.0 for a month and it was been great. You can hear noticeable induction noise at around 4.5k rpm and higher, and there was no CEL or any other issues. This was my first time ever working in the engine bay of a car, and it only took an hour with the help of a friend. Definitely a nice little mod to have and I hope to have the 60.5mm catback soon

This air intake is worth every penny. 1 - Throttle response completely changes for the better. A lot more control. 2 - Improved every aspect of acceleration, especially at higher speeds. Really helped with highway merging/passing. 3 - Sounds much more interesting, but isn't loud. Overall, this completely changed my 3 hatchback. It's not a super powerful engine but this intake really helped to give it a bit more oomph and performance.

I've been running this for about a year or so now definitely one of my favorite upgrades. Love the way it sounds with my Axle back and for me it sounds better than a lot of V6's on the road. Snarly when you want it to be but it can also be pretty mellow when you don't want to hear it.

will it work in a 1.5L Mazda 3 2015?

Perfect and easy to install in minutes! I have now the Cold air intake and box along with my axle back exhaust, all I can say is what a sound this makes! Best pair up and I still love that it doesn't drive you out of the car on long trips. Car feels a bit more responsive and at higher rpm's it feels like it pulls better. Very happy. :-)

Bought it. Installed it 40 minutes. Nobody else can notice the difference but the driver sure can. Great mod and very beneficial for your car. If you have any issues with the MAF it is because you obviously didn't install correctly. I don't and haven't had any issues and I'm an amateur!

I have a 2015 Mazda 3 6 speed manual and love my car! However for how zippy the car can be it was very quiet. I wanted the car to sound how it feels driving it and the Short Ram Intake is exactly what I was missing!!! especially in 2nd gear and up the car sounds a lot more throaty and is nothing but pure fun! I am going to get the Axle Back in a few months to seal the sound deal.
