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.

Absolutely bad ass! Install instructions were good, but I would HIGHLY recommend using a lift. I couldn't imagine how terrible that install would have been on my back. Use plenty of PB Blaster and be gentle with the O2 sensors. My car ran like junk until I upgraded my fuel pump, so I would recommend getting your CDFP internals put in first. With the fuel pump upgraded, it's a brand new car!! Absolutely amazing sound and super smooth pull through the entire RPM range. Corksport always delivers top notch products and this part is no different.

So if I live in California I can't get the downpipe right? But the catback exhaust shouldn't be a problem with the California regulations though? Thanks >>CorkSport Reply: Removing catalysts is something which is not legal anywhere. Choosing to do so is up to the owner of the vehicle.

The product was a success and will recommend it to everyone that is considering one. I got the catted race pipe option and love sound and power it puts out.The ms311 is quicker and ready for more ammunition added to its arsenal. Only thing difficult was installation.

I decided to go with a catless downpipe and catless racepipe, to compliment the CBE I'd purchased earlier last year. HUGE difference in sound (and performance, after the tune). In fact, the only complaint I have is less with the product and more with attention to detail. Based on the instructions there should have been two long bolts (to mate the RP and rear exhaust), and two shorter bolts (to mate the RP to the DP), and I was sent 4 of the long bolts instead. (Shoulder of the long bolt goes all the way through the hole, which doesn't allow for any sort of tightening). Aside from a little on-the-fly fabrication, the parts are AMAZING?!

Just installed this past saturday and am loving every minute of it. It sounds great with the CorkSport Race Pipe and CorkSport Axle Back exhaust.

Installed this baby catless with the racepipe and the sound is incredible at WOT!!!!!! idles deep like a champ and screams and im pushed back into my seat!!!!! Best upgrade by far!!! Gained about 20WHP when flashed to Stage 2OTS :) but it feels like so much more. Holding high in the 18s for PSI and I peak at 19.4 This is a completely new car now!!!!!!! Thank you CorkSport

Wow! Install was a touch of a PITA, but managed with help. I love the divorced waste gate. I was a little worried about the noise. Gains are excellent, turbo spools faster, and the noise is nifty. Corksport delivers and excellent DP.

AMAZING product from Corksport and has created quite a buzz on all the forums. This Down Pipe awakens the 2.3 turbo charged engine. This Down Pipe along with the Corksport Race Pipe and Cat-Back system are just what the turbo ordered! Finally a quality product backed by a company who stands behind its products and you have the perfect combination!!!

I just installed the highflow catted version of the Corksport Downpipe on my 2010 Mazdaspeed 3. The first thing you notice is how smooth the car feels along the whole RPM range. Second give it some gas and in the lower gears there is a whole lot more pull and it gives you a smooth delivery of power and faster turbo spool up. I am happy with the pipe so far!! I recomend Corksport to anyone with Mazdas! Watch out for tha last bolt on the old pipe it's a killer
