Back in March 2015, I bought my Mazda3 i Touring brand-new from the dealership with intentions of keeping it stock. Clearly, that didn’t last long. The challenge was how to make an already fun car more fun. That’s when I turned to CorkSport.
Having purchased my third Mazda, and having numerous friends who shop through the company, it was a no-brainer to start here first. The first week having the car, I purchased the license plate relocation kit because, let’s face it, the factory mount looks atrocious smack-dab in the middle of the grille.
CorkSport is proud to announce some exciting products for the 2014 + Mazda 3.
CORKSPORT 2014+ Mazda 3 SkyActiv – 2.5L Short Ram Intake
To start off we have the 2014+ SkyActiv Short Ram Intake. The intake is designed to reduce the intake restrictions and improve power throughout the entire RPM range with gains up to 6 horsepower. The MAF housings are engineered to exact tolerances and manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminum. The Short Ram Intake is a great first upgrade to help your SkyActiv open up and breathe.
Next we have the Mazda 3 License Plate Bracket Relocation Kit. This will help you offset your factory license plate to the drivers side to allow for better airflow and improve the overall look on your 2014 Mazda 3.
While working on your Mazda 3 you keep on running into the same problem, the hood prop is always in the way. It does its job of keeping the hood from falling on your head, but it is always difficult when working in the engine compartment. CorkSports hood strut kit cleans up your engine bay and makes it easier and safer to work on your Mazda.
In the ongoing quest to make your Mazda more powerful, and fun to drive, we have developed many great aftermarket options.
The stock airbox and air intake on most Mazdas were designed for economy instead of power. The problem with using the stock filter and airbox is that it functions similar to breathing through a rag. The rag does a great job of keeping contaminants and dirt out, but it also requires extra effort to pull air in.
When you upgrade the intake to a CorkSport Short Ram Intake you remove the air stifling setup and finally breath freely. Suddenly, your car goes from an underpowered, oxygen lacking zombie, to the free breathing, throaty roar of increased horsepower and freedom.
If you are looking to start the year off right, and are ready to upgrade your intake system we can answer any questions on which option is best for your ride.
Want to start 2014 off with some extra power? How about just letting your Mazda breathe easy? Thankfully you can do both with one simple modification, the Short Ram Intake.
So if you want a unique look or a car color matching intake, the White Silicone option just might be for you!
Looking for an intake?? Looking for a sale?? We’ve got both!
We already know that the CorkSport Short Ram Intake is the best in the game, but what could make it better? How about a lower price for Xmas? If you haven’t noticed our price drop on the CorkSport Stage I Short Ram Intake, Stage II Short Ram Intake or Cold Air Intake for the Mazdaspeed 3, Mazdaspeed 6, and Mazda CX-7 then take a look!

Lower Prices, More Power, and White Silicone! December 17th, 2018CorkSport
The Mazdaspeed 3 has a Battery Box that takes up more space than a watermelon in your refrigerator. Even worse, the stock ECU location can often interfere with intake upgrades. With these facts in mind, CorkSport decided to design a new Battery Box with a new location for the ECU.
With the new CorkSport 2010-2103 Mazdaspeed 3 ECU Relocation Battery Box, the ECU gets relocated towards the front of the engine bay and gets protected from dirt, grime, grease, and other unwanted contaminants. The ECU is mounted onto plastic like the factory configuration to prevent any possible interference that could occur with a metal box. Those of you in colder climates will be very happy to know that this box allows you to keep the standard group 35 batteries that are recommended and provided from Mazda. The new CorkSport Battery Box also allows for intakes up to 3.0 inches in size, and possibly larger to fit into your engine bay without cutting, drilling or otherwise modifying any parts or pieces of your Mazdaspeed 3. Simply install the new CorkSport Battery Box, which is completely bolt-in, and then utilize the extra room for your larger intake.
The CorkSport 2010-2013 Mazdaspeed 3 ECU Relocation Battery Box is made of a durable matte finished FRP construction. All necessary parts, bolts, and brackets are included to install and no modifying is needed. CorkSport designed the Battery Box to cleanly integrate into your engine bay without standing out. You can paint it or customize it yourself if you choose, or leave it as-is for a stock OEM style appearance.
The CorkSport 2010-2013 Mazdaspeed 3 ECU Relocation Battery Box is now available
