CHECK YOUR ENGINE STYLE FOR FITMENT

Mazda updated the 2023+ model year to include an EGR cooler. To accommodate this change, Mazda revised the engine wiring harness, valve cover vent hose, and factory intake hose. As a result, a new CS SRI silicone is required!

Not all 2023 and newer models incorporate this change, so you will need to inspect your specific vehicle to ensure you get the correct intake for your ride! Please see the images below, and don't hesitate to give us a call if you have questions or concerns.



The CorkSport Advantage

Performance Gains:

The Mazda 3 provides a sporty look but lacks a bit of performance. The CS Short Ram Intake is one of the easiest power modifications you can make to spice things up! Installing an SRI to your Mazda3 adds approximately 5-7WHP and 5-7WTQ without the need for a tune. Note: the vehicle tested did have a CorkSport Axle Back Exhaust installed for both OEM and CS intake tests.

It's the perfect first mod for your 3, whether you're new to modifications or a seasoned pro!


Sound and Style:

Beyond power gains, the CS Mazda 3 SRI provides a nice visual boost to the engine bay and, possibly the best part, more induction sounds! Unlike the OEM intake system, which is designed to quiet engine noise, the SRI frees up some sound and provides some suction noises and nice growl from the engine under acceleration.

This driver feedback is one reason people love our short ram intakes! You can even customize the look of your SRI with black, blue, and red color options for the silicone coupler and filter! It may not seem like much, but it's a nice bit of visual interest when you pop your hood.


Precision Machined:

The CorkSport SRI uses a precision machined billet MAF housing to ensure the correct diameter where the MAF sensor is located. This ensures an essential component of any intake operation: smooth airflow across the MAF sensor.

An opening that is too large, too small, or inconsistent can very commonly trigger check engine lights. Our design is proven to prevent CELs and keeps fuel trims in check, even with Mazda's highly sensitive MAF sensor and factory ECU tuning.


Dryflow Filter:

The CorkSport SRI includes a dry flow air filter to keep your engine breathing clean air. The media is designed to capture dirt and debris without the need for oil, which may dirty your MAF sensor and cause issues. The air filter is, of course, washable and reusable, providing long-lasting clean air for your Mazda.

If you are looking for further filtration and water protection, a CS pre-filter cover can be purchased separately to provide an additional level of safety. Get An Air Filter Cover!

Replacement CS air filters are also available should the time come you need to replace it.   Get Replacement Filters Here!


Fit and Finish:

The CorkSport short ram intake uses a custom-designed silicone coupler that connects the MAF housing and filter to the throttle body with the correct port for the valve cover breather hose. Instead of the OEM ribbed rubber tubing, the CS SRI uses a smooth interior silicone with four layers of nylon weave fortification to promote long-lasting strength and optimal airflow.

The CorkSport intake also has stainless steel t-bolt clamps to guarantee a leak-free seal! We even include step-by-step color instructions you for a quick DIY installation!

I had to give it a few days of regular driving to give it an accurate review IMO. First off, the quality of the billet aluminum MAF sensor housing is really top notch work. Same goes for the rest of the hardware. The filler is pretty standard as far as those style filters go quality wise. Easily replaceable if need be. The installation was relatively easy. 10mm deep socket, 1/4 drive ratchet with 2" extension, Philips head and alittle dawn dish soap. Took about 30 minutes total once I got the tools out. I use a very small amount of dawn soap to make install slightly easier. Apply around the edge where rubber/silicon meets metal. Sound is really nice. I hear the throttle open up and has a nice whistle on deceleration. Beware of this, it won't help your gas mileage much if you constantly leave it in sport mode and get on it just to hear it lol. Performance overall made a slight difference in throttle response. I personally noticed a bigger difference in regular driving mode acceleration over sport mode. Now, that being said, sport mode and put in manual transmission mode is alot more fun...very peppy. I agree with CS that tune of sorts would benefit this mod alot and I will do so next upgrade. Overall, love the product. Great company to work with and I will be using them again.
