Description
Upgrade your Mazda 3 2.5 liter engine's horsepower, torque, and sound by installing the CorkSport Short Ram Intake designed for the 2019-2023 model. The factory airbox and filter are known for limiting performance and creating a dull noise. With the CorkSport intake, you can enjoy the thrill of the ride with power gains from its high-flow filter, billet MAF sensor housing, and a custom-reinforced silicone coupler. Don't settle for mediocrity, get the CS short ram intake and unlock your Mazda's full potential. #ZoomZoom!
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 the CorkSport SRI uses an AEM Dry-Flow filter. 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!

The installation was very simple with the detailed instructions and high quality pictures showing each and every step. It took me about 25 minutes to remove all the stock parts from my 2021 Mazda 3 Sedan and install the new Corksport air intake. The engine has a more deep throating growl to it when in the 2,500-3,000 RPM range. The engine is more responsive without the stock air box. Currently waiting for the axle back exhaust to be back in stock so I can complete my hardware mods before moving on to my software mods.

This is the mod to get! Easy installation with great step by step color instructions. Took less than 30mins. Sounds great and feels quicker. Only downside is I didn’t do this sooner.

Super easy and quick to install. After taking it for a test drive you can feel that it’s less restricted, the difference in the additional horsepower is quite noticeable and the sound has a nice little growl. Im looking forward for the cat back to be back in stock in April. I couldn’t be happier I would strongly recommend this product to a friend.

Now this you HAVE to buy. If you’re looking for a noticeable minimum hp increase and a louder engine. This is it right here. Not to mention, your engine bay looks sexier. ????
