Product Release! CorkSport SkyActiv Mazda 3 Power Series Single Exit Exhaust

CorkSport is pleased to expand our single exit exhaust offering to include the new Mazda 3 SkyActiv model!

The CorkSport Power Series Single Exit 60mm Exhaust has been designed to work with both the 2010+ sedans and hatchback trim standard 2.0 liter and SkyActiv engine models.

Featuring dual resonators, a slip fit compression connection to the aft end of the catalytic converter and a single tailpipe design, the CorkSport Mazda 3 exhaust replaces the factory tailpipe muffler with polished 2.4 ID stainless steel piping and non-resonated CorkSport dual wall 90mm exhaust tip.

During testing with the CorkSport SRI and single exit exhaust on the 2.0 liter model, the CorkSport Mazda 3 Power Series Single Exit Exhaust went from a baseline of 118hp/110lb ft. of torque to a respectable 135hp and 123lb ft. of torque at the wheels.

The 2.0L results are moderate at the bottom end (with around a 4-5hp/tq gain) below 4000rpm with the majority of the power coming on rapidly at around 4500rpm and held steadily to the 7000rpm redline demonstrating the constrained nature of the stock system for the smaller 2.0L engine.

As with all of our CorkSport exhausts, the Power Series Mazda 3 single exit design features mandrel bent, polished stainless steel T304 construction for corrosion resistance and a clean stylish look. It has a distinctive performance sound that is mild but noticeable at cruise and idle and a distinctive growl at wide open throttle and free rev.

The CorkSport Power Series Mazda 3 SkyActiv Exhaust includes an optional 60mm racepipe with or without high flow catalytic converter that attaches between the factory header downpipe flange and the front compression fitting of the cat-back portion of the exhaust system

The CorkSport Power Series Mazda 3 SkyActiv Single Exit Exhaust is great for your hatchback model. For more information and complete pricing, please visit our product listing page at https://www.corksport.com/corksport-power-series-exhaust-system-mazda-3.html

Featured Car of the Month – Tony’s 2011 Speed3

Mazdaspeed 3’s are a rarity in Mexico. Only 500 are imported a year, so when Tony decided to buy his 2011 Mazdaspeed 3, it took three months for the car to arrive.

Tony has been a car fanatic since he was very young. He learned to drive at the age of eight with a set of pillows and coke cans so he could reach the pedals and at age 12, this Mexico native started driving his first 1947 Ford F1.

Tony drove German cars for the better part of his life and even raced amateur and DE in TX in a 2005 911GT3, but when he decided to get a new car in 2010, he looked at some of the vehicles that were not available in the US like the Puget 307 and the Alfa, but at the end of the day it came down to two cars, the Speed3 and the Focus RS. What swayed him to the Speed3? After a lot of research and decided he wanted a car that had a good performance support from companies like CorkSport!

When his car finally arrived in Mexico, he got straight work on his mod’s. He started by adding a CorkSport Stage II Power Series Short Ram Intake and CorkSport Airbox, CorkSport DISI Silicone Boost Tubes and Silicone Bypass Valve Hose, and a Forge stock location recirculation valve. He also added a large top mount intercooler and downpipe along with upgrading his fuel pump.

He upgraded his lighting with the CorkSport LED DRL kit, LED Interior Light Kit, and LED Underhood Light Kit and adjusted the drivetrain with a short shifter and engine mounts.

To improve handling Tony added a CorkSport Mazdaspeed 3 Front Sway Bar and Front Tower bar, a CorkSport Adjustable Rear Sway Bar and CorkSport Lowering Springs. To compliment his TSW wheels, he added CorkSport Lightweight Lug Nuts.

“After the suspension was done on the car, the change was so dramatic that it felt like it handled as well as the GT3” said Tony, “The first time I tested it out on the open road in Mexico, I blew by a couple of AMG 6.3’s and M3’s. The look on the the owners faces in my rear view mirror was priceless!”

Tony has no projects for the speed 3 planned until he moves back to the states, but as far as we are concerned, CorkSport is well represented in Mexico when Tony is around!

Product Re-Release! CorkSport Mazdaspeed Protege Downpipe

CorkSport is pleased to announce the re-release of the highly anticipated CorkSport Mazdaspeed Protégé downpipe!

The CorkSport downpipe has been expertly designed to replace the restrictive piping of the Mazdaspeed Protégé stock downpipe. Mandrel bent 63mm piping is used to create smooth exhaust flow for dramatic increases in power. For lasting corrosion resistance and reduced heat transfer to the engine bay, the CorkSport downpipe uses polished T304 stainless steel and features TIG welds that offer superior arc and weld puddle control for a cleaner appearance and precise weld bead control.

The CorkSport Mazdaspeed Protégé Downpipe can be purchased today at the following link, https://www.corksport.com/corksport-power-series-downpipe-mazdaspeed-protege.html

The CorkSport Mazdaspeed Protégé Downpipe is just one of three parts that CorkSport has released in recent months to support the Protégé community.

Earlier this month we released the Mazdaspeed Protégé Intercooler Hose Kit designed to replace the stock rubber hose with strong, flexible, reinforced silicone that will allow for ideal flow in and out of the intercooler.

And late last year, CorkSport released the 2001-2003 Mazda/Mazdaspeed Protégé Skid Tray which will provide solid protection against rocks and road debris and is designed to prevent damage to key components of the undercarriage of the vehicle.

Product Release! CorkSport Mazdaspeed Protege Intercooler Hose Kit

CorkSport is happy to announce the release of the new Mazdaspeed Protege Intercooler Hose Replacement kit!

Designed and tested for the side mount intercooler, the CorkSport intercooler hoses replace the stock rubber hose with strong, flexible, reinforced silicone that will allow for ideal flow in and out of the intercooler, provide improved throttle response, and smooth out boost pressure.

The silicone is custom formed for perfect fitment and has been designed as a direct bolt on replacement for the stock non-reinforced rubber hoses. Spurred by Mazdas recent discontinuation of the replacement cold pipe for the Mazdaspeed Protégé Intercooler, CorkSport has included both the cold pipe and hot pipe in the kit and is now the only silicone cold pipe replacement kit on the market.

“The OEM intercooler piping is prone to cracking over time which can cause hesitation and a loss of power”, said Rich Harris, President of CorkSport Mazda Performance, “Replacing the stock intercooler hoses with a better flowing kit will provide better flow capacity increasing reliability.”

The CorkSport Mazdaspeed Protégé Intercooler Hose Kit is available in three color options – red, blue and black – to customize the look of your engine bay to match your CorkSport Mazdaspeed Protege Power Series Cold Intake and can be purchased from CorkSport.com.
