Description
Get maximum turbo performance and dramatically increase torque with the Mazdaspeed 3 Power Series Downpipe. The CorkSport Mazdaspeed3 downpipe was expertly designed to replace the restrictive element in the Mazdaspeed 3 stock downpipe
The CorkSport Advantage
Fitment Choices:
Pick the 65mm flange for stock fitment (it will also work with all aftermarket exhausts), or 80mm flange for the CorkSport Cat Back exhaust and true 3" piping. Either way, mandrel bent piping is used to create smooth exhaust flow for dramatic increases in power.
Improved Power:
With just an intake installed, you can gain up to 50 HP more by adding the long catted downpipe or short downpipe and race pipe.
CorkSport Short Downpipe:
Replaces just the downpipe section but not the racepipe for a cost-effective solution that works with the stock racepipe, or aftermarket. For lasting corrosion resistance and reduced heat transfer to the engine bay, the CorkSport MS3 downpipe uses polished 304 stainless steel and features TIG welds that offer superior arc and weld puddle control for a cleaner appearance and precise weld bead control
CorkSport V2 Long Catted Downpipe
Our long downpipes now use our new “modular” system to improve flow, enhance fitment, and simplify installation in your MS3 engine bay. The design utilizes a cast stainless steel bellmouth with a v-band connection to 3” stainless steel piping. A 300 CEL high-flow cat is included to help keep emissions in check with minimal drawbacks. The long downpipe replaces both the OEM downpipe and racepipe sections.

- AXL-6-114-18 Fits Cat-Back Exhausts like the CS 80mm and other 3” exhausts that use the OEM style flange.
- AXL-6-114-19 Fits Cat-Back Exhausts like the OEM and other 2.5” exhausts that use the OEM style flange. It also fits 3-inch and 80-mm exhausts but with a flow restriction.
- Only fits on turbochargers with OEM downpipe flange shape.
- If you are ordering the long-catted DP and have a CS turbo with an EWG off the turbine housing, the wastegate will need to be moved to the turbine housing directly, and a new dump tube used. CS part number GEN-6-575-17 is needed and it is available for purchase HERE.

Beautifully made pipe, much more compact than the stock DP, install was a sinch, removal of stock DP was not as easy as I thought, but it got done.

I have replaced almost my entire exhaust with the corksports catback system and it sounds amazing! the last thing I need is the down pipe but I don't want to run any cats. Do you guys know if the cobb ap will automatically tune out the cel, so I don't have to run the cat? this is probably a question for cobb so if you don't know it's cool. I still am extremely happy with the parts I have bought. CorkSport Reply:The COBB Ap does not autotune your car. We recommend speaking with a tuner local to you or one of the E-tuners on the forums.

If I ordered this with the exhaust system to go with it and short ram intake, would I need a Tune? If so what can I get away with without having the ECU tuned...Trying to not void warrenty CorkSport Reply:You will want a HPFP upgrade at a minimum with the installation of a downpipe, a tune is a very good idea too.

This thing looked awesome when I pulled it out of the box. Install wasn't that bad did it on jackstands in my friends basement. Thanks again for an awesome product
Angel Diaz
I have a question...beside the catless giving u a cel what other potential problems can this dp cause.....just asking...I want to go catless CorkSport Reply:An upgraded HPFP is a good idea as well as a tune.

Are you guys going to make a upgraded manifold? I'm ordering my TBE soon and would love to get a manifold while I'm there

Am I gonna be running safe, if I get the system first (install it) and get the AP and HPFP after? CorkSport Reply:We recommend the installation pump internals with the downpipe.
Rey
I am really interested in buying the whole CS TBE system, so before i do that, Do i need AP right away after installing TBE and upgrade my fuel internals? CorkSport Reply: With the installation of the TBE you will need the HPFP internals at a minimum. We recommend a re-flash or the COBB AP as well.

Can the 65mm be replaced with an 80mm, once a person upgrades to an aftermarket exhaust after having a stock one? Or would a whole new DP need to be purchased? CorkSport Reply:The catted downpipes are welded units so you would need to replace the whole downpipe to go with the 80mm outlet.
