Description
Mazda 3 Performance Short Ram Air Intake
One of the easiest and most beneficial power performance enhancements you can do for your vehicle, the Mazda 3 Performance 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 Mazda 3 Short Ram Intake includes our precision machined MAF housing made from billet aluminum, a durable dry flow air filter and custom reinforced silicone connector. The CorkSport 2010-2013 Mazda 3 Short Ram Intake has been designed for the 2.0L standard and now SkyActiv engines. In initial testing with the 2.0 Liter SkyActiv engine, the CorkSport Mazda 3 Short Ram Intake netted peak gains of +5 HP and +6 lb torque at the wheels.
- Available for 2.0 Liter Standard and SkyActiv* Gasoline Engines: In addition to the standard 2.0L engine, CorkSport has developed a new power series intake that will perform with the all new SkyActiv engines
- Improve Gas Mileage and Power: In initial testing on the SkyActiv engine, the CorkSport SRI showed peak gains of +5 HP and +6 lb torque at the wheels.
- Avoid Unwanted Check-Engine Lights: The MAF housing is precision machined from billet aluminum to prevent air leaks and inaccurate readings.
- 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
*Can be used with the gasoline engine only. Does 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.
Note: This intake is not CARB approved for the state of California.

Honestly wasn’t expecting that much of a sound difference but it’s very noticeable and completely enhances the engine sounds! I got slight power gains but nothing to write home about imo, but the sound this makes is amazing.

As soon as I got my Skyactiv I started looking for an intake for it. I got the corksport intake and it's awesome. Noticeable difference in power, easy to install, and sounds great. I just installed the corksport axle back exhaust on my car and the combo is a must have. I recommend both, you will NOT be disappointed.

This was my first mod for my car, I drive a 2010 Mazda 3. The installation was pretty easy I just had to watch 2 minutes of a YouTube video and I was able to install this in about 15 minutes. I didn't expect to notice any difference at all, but I was very surprised by the sound and noticeable handling difference. The sound is of course the main reason to buy one of these and in that department it definitely delivers with a nice induction sound followed by satisfying revs. I absolutely feel like I got what I paid for and even more. Will definitely be buying products from CorkSport moving forward.

Great sound, very smooth performance. And the colour to match my Sky Mica Blue engine cover and body! Thank you for the Easter egg as well - nice touch =) Happy New Year!

Super easy install and sounds way better then I thought.

Easy to install with their great instructions, took a little bit to get mine due to shortage of parts but they sent me a license plate cover and some cool stickers as an apology! Actions speak volume with them and I highly recommend this to whoever is looking to start modding their car!

Sounds great. Makes the car sound more aggressive. And feel the torque gain on all rpms but the power gain is more near 4-6.5 rpm. It's noticable. Doesn't thow a check engine light and is easy to install.

Sounds great. Already notice a few better mpgs. Honestly if I didn't order the exhaust already I might have held off because this thing really changes the sound of the motor for the better.

It took about a thousand Kms, before the engine finally tuned itself, but man what a difference. Under two thousand rpms it lugs like crazy and makes a very faint knocking noise. Hit the accelerator and it just takes off like a crazed rabbit.

A good product that I had installed 5+ years. Be aware though, don't bother buying this intake unless you're buying the airbox as well. The heat soak is dramatic and makes this intake much worse than factory off the line. With the airbox installed it produces a great throaty sound that is not at all ricey, while puling better at higher RPMs vs. stock.
