Well sit back, grab a beer, and I\u2019ll explain why that needs to change!<\/p>\n<p>First, the cat-back exhaust sounds great! Watch the video below and compare the axle-back and cat-back exhausts. While they both sound awesome, you can tell the cat-back brings a whole new level of greatness. It\u2019s not especially louder than the axle-back, but it provides a deeper rumble to the exhaust note throughout the RPM range. Best of all there isn\u2019t a significant increase in cabin drone, so you can still enjoy your long cruises to the beach with friends.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"CorkSport Power Series Exhaust System 2014+ Mazda 6\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LEXfK30IbUA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Second, the cat-back exhaust looks great! Starting from the exhaust manifold, you have a thick, laser-cut flange that bolts right to the OE exhaust manifold. Following that is the machined O2 sensor bung that is precision-TIG welded. Next up are some multi-point hangers to get your exhaust in place with a large packing-filled resonator that helps manage the cabin drone we talked about earlier. Continue along those gorgeous lines of the Mazda 6, and you find yourself at the axle-back section. Here you will find two packing-filled resonators and two double-wall tips that only extenuate the curves of the Mazda 6.<\/p>\n<p>Now that I have your attention, let\u2019s talk about the most exciting aspect of the CorkSport Power Series Cat-back Exhaust. It makes power! That\u2019s right ladies and gentlemen: More power could be yours if you improve your exhaust style and sound.<\/p>\n<p>For an otherwise 100 percent stock car with no additional tuning, the improvements are impressive. I think the real turning point is the unsightly squashed section of the mid-pipe. Check it out below.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8632\" src=\"\/\/corksport.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Mazda-6-OEM-stock-exhaust.jpg\" alt=\"Mazda 6 OEM stock exhaust\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/corksport.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Mazda-6-OEM-stock-exhaust.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/corksport.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Mazda-6-OEM-stock-exhaust-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/corksport.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Mazda-6-OEM-stock-exhaust-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/corksport.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Mazda-6-OEM-stock-exhaust-1024x576.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Yeah, that looks awful. Now let\u2019s see the numbers. Check out this dynograph to see some other impressive curves. The Mazda 6 performs a whole lot better with the addition of the cat-back.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8631\" src=\"\/\/corksport.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Mazda-6-Performance-Dynograph.png\" alt=\"Mazda 6 Performance Dynograph\" width=\"600\" height=\"280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/corksport.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Mazda-6-Performance-Dynograph.png 1136w, https:\/\/corksport.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Mazda-6-Performance-Dynograph-300x140.png 300w, https:\/\/corksport.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Mazda-6-Performance-Dynograph-768x359.png 768w, https:\/\/corksport.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Mazda-6-Performance-Dynograph-1024x479.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If that doesn\u2019t convince you that the change is worth it, nothing will! Although, have I mentioned that the CorkSport Power Series Cat-back Exhaust is manufactured and CNC-formed from 60.5mm T-304 stainless steel pipe? It\u2019ll look great for years to come.<\/p>\n<p>Ready to install your <a href=\"\/\/corksport.com\/corksport-2014-mazda-6-performance-exhaust.html\">Mazda 6 Cat-back Exhaust<\/a>?
