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.

- Take note of your catback exhaust size before ordering if ordering the long catted downpipe. There is a different downpipe whether you have a 3-inch/80mm exhaust or an OEM/2.5” exhaust.
- AXL-6-114-18 Fits Cat-Back Exhausts like the CS 80mm and other 3” exhausts that use the OEM style flange.

- 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.

Awesome DP! The Unique Divorced Waste-gate Design is one of a kind, no other design out there is quite this awesome. Cant wait to get this beast installed. Thanks Corksport!

Picked up 30-50 ft pound of torque on Dynodynamics dyno below 2500rpm on my fully bolted '08 with Cobb Acessport Stage 2 with 93 octane tune. 316 ft lb at the wheels--and Dynodynamics reads low! Just nuts--and you're nuts if you don't get one.

Great fit and finish. Combined with my other Corksport parts (Intake, TIP, and TMIC) the car is quick. I am at the limit of the stock turbo with my Stage 2 tune and these parts. As always, I am impressed and will recommend to anyone in the market for a downpipe.
