best flowing air filter for a performance Mazda

Get outstanding performance and up to twice the flow of OEM filters with the CorkSport 3” outlet conical dryflow air filter. This durable, synthetic fiber air filter is reusable and water resistant. The unique non-woven filter media does not require oil to filter and trap dirt and actually sheds dirt under engine vibration, unlike cotton gauze, which holds contaminates until you clean your filter.

The CorkSport Advantage:

Choose from three different color options:The filter media is available in blue, red or dark grey to compliment your short ram intake silicone and MAF housing selections.
Oil-free filtration media: The unique non-woven filter media does not require oil to filter and trap dirt and actually sheds dirt under engine vibration unlike cotton-gauze which holds contaminates until you clean your filter.
Polymer mineral reinforced internal framework: Retains form when compressed or bent and prevents filter collapse under extreme vacuum created by turbocharged engines
Easy Maintenance: CorkSport dry flow air filters are easy to clean, requiring only a mild all-purpose cleaner and warm water. CorkSport filters can be knocked a few times to remove excess dirt off of the filter pleats. Our non-woven filter media resists water absorption and can withstand almost unlimited cleanings
Specifications: The CorkSport 3" Outlet filter has a 4.75" filter media length, protrudes 6” from the end of the fitting to where it is attached and is 6" at its largest diameter. Further dimensional data is available on request.
CorkSport Service and Support: Receive a two year limited warrantly, full color installation instructions, all of the needed installation hardware, and knowledgeable telephone support

CorkSport Mazda 2 intake

Since most of the "reviews" for this filter seem to be questions rather than reviews, here's an actual review.

Great filter. I live in a very dusty rural area and the claims that this filter sheds dust are accurate. Still, every oil change it should be taken off, tapped or gently blown off to get any stuck-on dust off. I use a simple, green colored spray cleaner to clean it. Just spray it all over, let it sit, rinse with warm water, dry in the sun and you're good to go.

Performance was slightly improved, but the engine sounds better and runs and lower RPM with this filter as compared with the OEM filter. Great product, worth getting.

Quick question, I just want to verify, Does this dry flow filter have the same dimensions as the (CODE: Axe-6-117) short ram intake for the 04-09 Mz3?? I forgot to buy replacement filters when I purchased the Intake from you guys.. -_-

CorkSport Reply:The filter fits the SRI you have.
