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.

Dan07/14/2013, 02:02 PM

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.

Andy07/09/2013, 07:25 PM

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.

Just put this bad boy on yesterday and let me tell you what, it sounds like there is a hungry monster living on the back of my car at wide open throttle its one of the best exhausts ive ever heard i feel a little less lag and pick up speed got a little faster best bang for your buck right here i would expect noting less from corksport thank you guys. rating 1-10 i give it an 11 on looks sound NO Drone whatsoever which is great!!!!!!!!!!! A police officer actually pulled me over to say the exhaust sounds Great!

Daniel Andryszak05/26/2013, 07:38 AM

Which one would be more beneficial the axleback or catback?

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

Russ05/24/2013, 10:12 AM

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

Jonathan05/20/2013, 07:08 AM

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

is it california legel, and whats the horsepower gain when added with the stage 2 cold air intake

CorkSport Reply: The exhaust does not have a CARB #. The Stage II intake is CARB legal.

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?

Asked by Alex | 12/19/2017, 09:11 AM | 1 answer(s)

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)?

Asked by Reese Mularz | 06/11/2016, 02:15 AM | 1 answer(s)

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.

Why is one of the sides of the exhaust not putting out as much heat as the other?

"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

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.

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?

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.

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!!

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.
