High quality intake! Order with the air box for super cool intake temps. This intake lets you hear the turbo and stock bypass valve! Just the sound alone makes it worth the money.

My first mod on my 2012 ms3. Excellent quality. Best bang for the buck. Easy install. Love the sounds. Good job Corksport... :)

Corey May12/31/2011, 12:30 AM

this is a great product for the money adds great power, and sounds great to boot........ however the first mod should be the motor mount insert, but this for sure should be the second.

Jason Steinley12/14/2011, 08:34 PM

This is the first mod that you should do on your Mazdaspeed3!! What a difference it makes and the sound of the turbo spool makes driving your speed a whole new beast. The installation instructions that are provided by Corksport are perfect and easy to follow so installing this mod is no problem. Thank you Corksport for making such a high quality mod! Don’t wait, the SRI and TIP are worth the money and it is the best value compared to any other company. Stop reading reviews and pick this up now!!

I would like to start this review by stating my mechanical experience:

NONE

With that being said...wow!

I ordered the part on Sunday afternoon and received it Thursday (in Florida). Everything was packed with care, including the instructions. When the weekend finally rolled around, I requested a helping hand from my father-in-law and his tools. Seeing as this was my first installation of an aftermarket part, I thought I needed all the help I could get. Even though his help was greatly appreciated, looking back on it now, I realized I could have taken care of this myself. The instructions were perfect. From start to finish, everything was laid out in such an intuitive manner in the instructions, it would be difficult NOT to install it correctly! It took a little over 1 and 1/2 hours (if I had any prior mechanical experience, I'm sure it would have only taken about 40 minutes or less, but since I kept on referring back to the instructions every few moments to ensure a proper install, it took me longer). It really is shocking to see the factory parts that Mazda used. And when comparing them to Corksport's parts, it is a wonder the car even ran! When installing the parts, you can see the meticulous details that Corksport put into their parts, from the welding and bends, to the quality raw materials to make this Mazda scream now! And man does it scream! After installing the parts and ensuring everything was secure, I cranked her up and let her sit at idle to make sure I didn't get any CELs. After that period was over, it as time for the test drive. I wanted the full experience, so I rolled the windows down to hear the SRI and TIP pull in the air...but it wasn't my ears that caught the first difference, it was the "butt dyno." When I gave her some gas, I was grinning from ear to year. The additional power and sound still gets me every time. The car has more pull and a beautiful "Whoooosh!" sound kicks in when you give it some gas. Along with this, if you drive "like a normal person" you improve your gas mileage by a few mpg...but with the power and sound, it is awfully hard not to push the accelerator a little harder than normal.

After it is all said and done, I couldn't be happier. From detailed instructions to noticeable power gains, the total experience was flawless. Corksport has a customer for life! Great product and great service!

This item arrived quickly and well protected. The install went smoothly and the fit was very good. My expectations were modest even in light of the hefty power gains claimed by CorkSport. My expectations have definetely been exceeded. The power increase is phenomenal. The sound of air rushing in is addictive. I typically leave the radio off now with the side window down just to enjoy the sound. while unscientific, my "seat of the pants" dynometer confirms CorkSports power claims. This is a terrific modification and worth every penny at twice the price.

Justin Huntington10/05/2011, 02:22 PM

good install and excellent quality. the sound is pretty cool

Vetter10/01/2011, 04:28 PM

Took me a little longer to install but was well worth it, Chris at corksport was super helpful and I'm so happy with how the car sounds and performs now, hands down amazing part!

Stephen Biroc09/30/2011, 05:28 PM

Installed it last weekend! My butt dyno definitely can tell the difference. The sound is brilliant. There is quite a bit less lag with turbo spooling. 2nd and 3rd gear pull really nicely.

I've been driving with the window open to hear its song.

It took me quite a bit longer to install than the instructions laid out, but it's done and I am extremely happy!!!

Were the horsepower figures arrived at with a hot engine and the hood closed? Wondering on the effects of pulling in the hot air from under the hood.

If I already have a Corksport Turbo Inlet Pipe installed, this should attach directly to that with no issues, correct? Thanks in advance for an answer

Hi, is this a 3” air intake or 2 1/2”

Looking into intakes for my '07 ms3. Is this basically plug and play? Would I be safe doing this without a tune/HPFP internals? I don't plan on any other mods just yet.

Can this be run on stock MS3 2010 without high pressure fuel internals?

Will this fit the 2008 Mazda 3 S? And is the sound people report over 3k rpms different from the sound of the intake resonator delete which also comes over 3k rpms?
