Mazdaspeed 3 Performance Air Intake

Bought this in February 2015, you really can tell the difference alongside with the Bypass Valve. Keep up the good products.

This was my first modification to my 2012 Speed3. I had so little mechanical experience I had to buy the hand tools to put this on, and apart from some tight space taking off the stock intake, installation was pretty straightforward.



Personally, I think this is worth the price for the sound alone. Hearing the car hiss and breathe when the turbo spools up is awesome. It's loud enough to hear with windows up on the freeway above 0 psi boost, but not so loud that it'll piss off your neighbors. I've seen no change in mileage in the 2 months I've had it installed.



My butt dyno can't feel the claimed 12 hp / 17 lb-ft torque gain. I can feel less pull between 2500-3000 rpm while boost builds more slowly, which is a little disappointing. However, I compared telemetry data from track days at Willow Springs from stock to after I installed the SRI, and the acceleration is slightly better, getting me to 120 mph vs 117 mph on the back straight. Not huge differences, but that could align with 12hp. I could share the graph, but this won't let me post pictures.



Stop procrastinating by reading reviews, just suck it up and buy it. The only thing you might regret is not shelling out for stage II.

Love this product. the "whoosh" noise is addicting. they didn't have the color I wanted but they included some hp adding stickers and a nice letter. butt dyno noticed a slight power diff.

Bought the stage 1 intake. So far it's been great, car no longer falls flat at 5.8k and let's you easily hear the bpv. Awesome product will definitely be buying more from corksport. My only regret is I didn't go for the stage 2.

Does this stage 1 SRI throw check engine light without ap or tune?
