Installed this axle back a month ago. Fitment was perfect. The sound is awesome. Getting a lot of compliments on the looks and the sound. Quality is excellent A+. Sound at idle is throatier and louder at full throttle. Am I please with this system? Of course , as with many other Corksport parts I purchased in the past. Now what's next?

Excellent quality, finish, and fitment. Sound is awesome! Great system for the price! Quiet at cruising speed , but the beast is awakened at full throttle. Another great product from Corksport. 5 stars for sure .

Just wanted to say installed the axle back system on my 2012 MS3. Very impressed, the sound reminds me of an SRT4 with good exhaust. No offense to anyone. But not too loud but pretty deep. Also as a note make sure you have the gasket and flange lined up perfectly before torquing. Took 2 trys to get it working with no leaks. But great system, looks good too.

2nd of three parts I installed today. I would have given it five stars but I had to do some work to get rid of an exhaust leak at the axle flange. Went to my local muffler shop and picked up a couple gaskets to tighten up the connection and finally got rid of the leak around the top of the flange. NOW, it looks and sounds AWESOME. Just what I was looking for, a little louder than stock with a nice deep tone, but not to loud at highway speed. Nice work. Glad I stopped looking at all those you tube videos and just pulled the trigger. If you are looking for a nice upgrade to your looks and sound this is it. Great Job Corksport!!

This exhaust is awesome! You won't find a better bang for your buck. The installation was pretty painless and the fit and finish is exceptional. If you're looking for a little more rumble on a budget and can't spring for the CBE, you won't be disappointed. This exhaust's note is really aggressive, but not obnoxious, and the drone at highway speed seems like it's not too much worse than stock. The tips look very nice in the stock bumper.

Will this fit my 2010 Mazda 3 2.5L hatch automatic. If yes, how does it compares with the actual catback (non racepipe) for mazda 3 sold by you when it comes to performance and sound?

W. Silva03/16/2014, 02:50 PM

I have two mazdas, mazda 3 and speed3 both fully equipped with cs exhausts. This axle back exhaust is very loud at wot and mellow at low speeds. The tone is top notch and everyone turns their head. Install took less then 10 minutes removing three bolts and i highly recommend this exhaust. I will be coupling a UR mid pipe upgrade with this system.

Samir Nuriyev03/14/2014, 06:04 AM

Awesome look and sound, easy install only issue I had was one of the rings didn't fit properly so I had a small leak at axel hook up but min later had that fixed and have loved it.

Travis T02/25/2014, 11:27 PM

This is an awesome system!! Gives the car a perfect tone. Not to loud but not quiet. Also the tips give the car a great look. Overall easy installation and a great quality product!

"Sounds Very Good on a stock setup, Does anyone have any experience with this setup and a test (Cat Delete) pipe? I dont want it to be too loud.."

– Greg

Greg, I had the downpipe (cat delete) with the race pipe (cat delete) and the axle back installed. It sounds extremely loud and the drone is kind of high, unless you are on the freeway with the windows down. With the windows up (freeway or not) the sound was unbearable (to me at least).. Hope this helps

Can you get this axle back resonated? Like the one on your cat back system.

I already have this axle-back and looking to upgrade to a full turbo-back. Will I get true 80mm piping throughout with a downpipe and midpipe upgrade, or does this axle-back fit to 65mm?

Will there be development on a similar axle-back, but single instead of dual outlet?

Asked by Michael | 08/10/2016, 01:40 PM | 1 answer(s)

I already ordered the axle-back and have it, but due to rust I now have to go full catback. If I order the mid-pipe only, does it come with the required hardware to connect the mid-pipe to the downpipe (where the spring bolts are located)?

Any idea if the axle-back exhaust will fit if using the Curt 11383 class I trailer hitch? Looks like potentially the hanger for the driver's side might interfere.

If i didnt get the mid pipe im i going to hear any sound difference?

Asked by Speed | 02/02/2016, 08:52 PM | 1 answer(s)

When installing cs axleback to stock midpipe, do i need to remove the donut gasket in the midpipe and replace with the flat gasket provided with cs axleback? I have a slight leak but im not sure if its from the flat gasket being misaligned or the stock donut gasket from the stock midpipe. Overall the axleback is great in every aspect other than the slight leak.
