For shipping purposes overseas. What is the total weight of the complete package?
The weight/dim on the exhaust is 57x22x9 inches and 24lbs
does the hatchback exhaust fit a 2015 Mazda 3 sedan?
No, the axleback section is different.
What are the peak decibels both below and above 35mph? Specifically measured at a distance of 50ft if possible.
We don't currently have those numbers.
I am looking into doing a rear bumper mod and having a shop do cut out for exposed tips for my '18 Sedan. Would the Hatch system fit or is the length significantly shorter? I don't want the downward facing tips.
You'd need to have the hatch tips extended out longer to be able to come out of the bumper on the sedan.
Is there any information available on the weight of the original and this Axle-back? Amazon says this system is 30 pounds, I find that hard to believe...
The pipes weigh a little under 19lbs. When you use the box dimensions the exhaust calculated weight is over 30lbs.
Will this clear a hitch?? Really interested in purchasing but don't want to have clearance issues with the hitch. Thanks in advance!
What type of hitch?
Based on what we saw in the installation video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0crEl2Z4qug yes it will work just fine.
Curt
Which diameter does the exhaust tip have?
90mm slant cut tips.
Will this exhaust fit a 2010 mazda 3 2.5 sedan?
It will not, you need to go to this section for the correct exhaust https://corksport.com/mazda-3/2010-2013-mazda-3/2010mz3-power/2010-mz3-exhaust/
How is mileage effected after installing it.
You will most likely not notice a MPG change.
Up or down? :\
The fuel economy is normally dictated by your right foot.....
Is it Illegal in Illinois?
It depends on state laws where you live.
Check with your local emission station.
Any plans on making an axle-back exhaust compatible with the OEM rear aerokit for the hatchback?
I am also interested in this as it is the only thing stopping me from buying.
We revised the exhaust to work with the factory aero skirt starting in 2018.
I'm a little confused as to what happens to the catalytic converter. In the "cat. back" application, the factory exhaust is decoupled at the down pipe, which appears to be ahead of the converter. Does the mid pipe resonator also function as a converter? Please set me straight.
The stock exhaust mid section has a second catalyst welded into it. The cat back exhaust we sell replaces the mid section so you are running the main catalyst in the exhaust manifold.
Will this fit the 2017 mazda 3 2.0 Skyactiv?
Yes it fits the 2017 model hatchback.
Do you have the dual exit muffler for the Mazda 3 1.5L hatchback? I am looking for the dual exit muffler.
We are pretty sure it will fit. Send sales@corksport.com a picture of your stock exhaust and we can confirm.
Will this fit a 2018 mazda3 hatch?
Yes it does
Will this fit a 2018 Mazda3 hatch?
It fits the 2018 models.
Does it fit my 2017 Mazda 3 HB 2.5?
Yes it does.
Do these mufflers hang lower than the stock muffler? I'm thinking of installing a trailer hitch and was wondering if it would fit with this exhaust installed.
People have installed hitches before without issue when running our exhaust.
Why is there not a Catback exhaust available for the Hatchback. Did Mazda Make this exhaust better then the sedan.
https://corksport.com/2014-mazda-3-cat-back-exhaust-sedan-hatchback.html Here is the cat back. Just be sure to select the hatchback option

Will this exhaust fit a 2.2L diesel Mazda 3? What is the diameter of the centre pipe in inches?
We are not sure on the diesel 3. From what we have seen on the 6 diesel the connection point is the same after the DPF so it should work but it is not something we can test here in the states. The piping is 2.38 inches.
The sound on the 2.5L video sounds great. Is the output 77dB closed and 55dB idle? I have a 2.0L 2015 Mazda 3 hatchback with a resonator delete and was wondering if it would still keep that deep tone except a little bit louder. Do you know how it would sound like on a 2.0L with a resonator delete?
It would like to say that it would be bit louder and have more tone control.
Will I loose my 5 year warranty from mazda if installing this?
No you will not
What about on a 1.5L 2015 hatchback, just for looks?
It was not designed for the 1.5L
If I install this axle-back system in a 2016 Mazda 3 iSport hatch, do I need to cut any of the existing pipe?
Nope! This will be a direct bolt on.
5-10hp gains is what you get on the 2.0L engine, what about the 2.5L engine, do you get the same gain?
Its about 10-15whp increase.
How much louder is it compared to the stock exhaust on a 2014 mazda3 S touring with the 2.5? I ask because I live in Maine and we can't have exhausts that are much louder than the stock exhaust.
It is louder, but no so much that you will get people's attention just cruising.
Will installing this exhaust affect my manufacturing warranty?
Double check with your local dealer on this one.
Double check with your local dealer on this one.
Double check with your local dealer on this one.
Will the hatchback exhaust void the manufactures warranty?
Double check with your local dealer on this one. It shouldn't, but some places are very strict when it comes to warranty work.

IS it illegal in Illinois
What is the estimated hp gain when used on the 2.0L?
5-10hp increase over stock.
Why exactly doesn't this fit with the rear "Mazda accessory skirt"? Can it be augmented to fit? It doesn't seem like it would be difficult.
I'm curious about this as well - I don't see a reason it shouldn't fit, unless the guy that complained had some 3rd party rear skirt. Here's what i have on mine - mazda OEM appearance package (not may car)... http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=209936&d=1422466787 Will this exhaust fit with this trim?
The problem is if the rear skirt is lower to the ground than OEM, then the exhaust tips will rub against the plastic and will melt the rear end.
Will this fit a sedan if I have cut-outs or aftermarket bumper with dual exit?
Yes it should.
Will this fit 2013 mazda BL 2.5 litre?
It should work.
Would this be suitable for the twin turbo diesel???
Yes it will work with the Skyactiv Diesel Mazda 3.
Will this fit a 2016 mazda3 hatchback automatic
Yes it will! You will just need to make sure you put your specific car type.
Do you have an Australian dealer for this exhaust and if so who is it also if not how much would this cost to australia
Email our sales team and we can get you the quote for shipping, sales@corksport.com
is this legal in Spain?
Check with your local emissions laws, we do not know.
Does the Corksport exhaust use 17mm bolts to attach to the stock midpipe? Or do you use the stock 14mm hardware? The instructions are only a guide for the catback installation.
We supply the hardware which are 17mm headed bolts.
is this legal in Switzerland? if not, do you know how to do a registration?
We have several customers who use the axle back in Switzerland. We are not sure if there was any registration required.
Will this fit my 2015 3 s gt hatch?
Yes it does!
Ok, so its not approve by for California emissions, but hypothetically, if it were installed on a vehicle and taken to a local emissions shop, would it be able to pass the measured emissions tests?
It would pass a tailpipe test.
Is this legal in California
This is not CARB or EO approved so it would not pass an inspection in California.
is this exhaust available already?
It is out of stock until May 22nd 2015.
Does this fit the 2015 mazda hatchback with the 2.0 engine?
It will fit the 2015 Hatchback with the 2.0 engine.
Hello there, I'm interested in your Axle Back exhaust for Mazda 3 2.5L Hatch 2015. My question is does it drone on highway cruising? Thank you,
It will have more highway noise than a stock exhaust but we don't usually get people saying it drones on the highway.
Not really.. If cruising you can barely tell. Now if presented with an incline which may require additional acceleration then yes it drones a bit. Especially so it the car stays in the same gear.
Will CS be producing a cat-back version for the HB in the near future?
We have had one released for several months. https://corksport.com/2014-mazda-3-cat-back-exhaust-sedan-hatchback.html
What is the country of manufacture of the Corksport exhuasts, and specifically this one for the Mazda 3?
“Our exhaust system for the Mazda 3 does not qualify for NAFTA”
I was just wondering if this will fit on any of the mazda 3 hatch models?
It will fit any Mazda 3 2014 or 2015 Hatchback.
