Since the axle back portion of the MS3 fits the MZ3 2.5L, would this fit as well?

CorkSport Reply:It could fit the Mazda 3 but it would be really loud.

Love the look and sound of this on my 2010, I do have a little trouble with keeping the tips lined up properly though. They seem to keep shifting to the left side of the car. Has this been reported by anyone else? I do have the CS poly hangers although I doubt that would be a factor. I've been meaning to take it off again and rebolt to see if I can keep it straight.

CorkSport Reply: Check the flange where the axle back connects to the factory exhaust and make sure it is squared up.

Is it safe to run on an otherwise stock car? I've heard people say you need a fuel pump upgrade or something like supporting mods (intake) to run this. Can I run JUST the axle back on a stock MS3 without Access Port or anything?

CorkSport Reply:You can run the axle back exhaust with no other modifications required.

Which one would be more beneficial the axleback or catback?

CorkSport Reply:The Cat back is made for more power gains.

What a great product, the welds are perfect and everything fits exactly. I installed the exhaust in about 20 min and was off driving, It Sounds amazing and compared to having a small straight pipe out the back this gives more low end Tq. Great Product Corksport! keep us the amazing work! I have video on youtube of the car, search usr name Greyskyy151

this comes with all the gaskets and everything correct?

CorkSport Reply: The exhaust includes everything needed for installation.

Daniel Andryszak05/19/2013, 09:23 PM

Will this cause a CEL? please get back to me

Daniel Andryszak05/15/2013, 09:44 PM

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?

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.

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.
