    2019 Mods CX9 (Same for CX5 and Mazda 6)

    I also used Cork Sports cat back and found it was as loud as my speed3. I put the OEM mid pipe back on nd just used the axel back and its just right. What is your opinion of the sound level?

    2019 Oil Change - Fumoto Plug

    Just a quick comment about the video showing the oil change. It shows the OEM filter being replaced by a fram filter. Mazda stated to me that if something other than the OEM filter is used they will not warranty the motor. Mazda makes 2 filters that fit the 2.5. If you look at the OEM filter on...

    Second gen / 2018 Mazda CX-9 2.5T - knocking sound after shutting off engine

    Couldn't hear much but since you have a 2018 I am going to assume the car is still under warranty. Have the dealer check it out.

    Boost Pressure 2.5T

    Just an update about tuning. I talked to Daniel from DR Racing and they are working on some R&D on the 2.5T. We discussed expectations and possible limitations with injector size and turbo size. Also discussed a new turbo inlet pipe and intercooler that Cork Sport is working on. Daniel is...

    Boost Pressure 2.5T

    The 2.5T puts out 17.4 lbs of boost. I don't know when the boost starts dropping off but the torque makes a big drop at 3700 rpm's so my guess would be the boost starts dropping at that point. Just another note Orange Virus is no longer tuning Mazda's. They are only doing Toyota trucks. I will...

    CorkSport Intake CX-9 2016+

    Just an update on tuning. Since I have the Cork Sport Intake and only used the axel back of their exhaust I was going to get the car tuned. Orange Virus tuning is only doing Toyota Trucks now. I was never a real big fan of them just for the fact they don't give out their phone number. Since Cork...

    CorkSport Intake CX-9 2016+

    Yes the axel back bolts to the OEM mid pipe. I think it is the best way to go. It took me about 30-40 minutes to replace. No modifications needed.

    CorkSport Intake CX-9 2016+

    I have had my intake on for over a week and I find the noise is slight. I know everyone is different when it comes to what is noisy and what isn't. I have a 2016 and yours is a 2018. I just wonder since it's a electronically controlled valve if Mazda made adjustments between the years on how it...

    Corksport exhaust

    If Benhui86 whats the mid pipe I guess we could work something out. It's just going to sit around. With the axel back on and the intake installed I will probably start the tuning process after the holidays.

    Corksport exhaust

    As far as tuning goes Orange Virus is one place but you can never talk to them because they don't give out their phone number. A year ago they had a CX-9 package but when there updated their web site they took it off. I wrote to them but all they told me was it would be out later this year. Cork...

    Corksport exhaust

    I have used lots of Cork Sport products over the years from my 08 speed3, 2014 Mazda6 to my 2016 CX-9 Sig. About a month ago I got the cat back exhaust and put it on. It worked great the the noise level was way too much. It was as loud as may speed3 with Cork Sports 80mm cat back. I talked with...

    Rerouting intake duct?

    I can't give any details but there is a company working on an intake that will fit the new Mazda 6 with the 2.5T. comparing the engine bay of the 6 and the CX-9 They are the same. This company is looking at production in about 3 months. I have had a number of conversations with them and can't...

    Project : '17 Cx9

    Keep in mind 304 stainless is expensive. Cork Sport came in lower in price for my Speed3 exhaust then some other shops. As for the intake if the new 6 has the same configuration as the 9 I am sure someone will make an intake along with a turbo inlet pipe. Matt at Orange Virus has been tuning the...

    Project : '17 Cx9

    I like the fact that the car is very quiet. So I am not really looking to change the exhaust. Cork Sport is making a cat back system for the CX-9 and should be ready for sale soon. I am looking for someone to come out with an intake system. Then I can get the vehicle tuned. Thats the biggest...

    Anyone Here Get Their 2.5T Tuned Yet?

    Its been interesting reading all the posts. Mazda has always been conservative with their tunes which gives plenty of opportunities to increase power and fuel mileage safely. My 08 speed 3 is running 400hp with 33mpg on the highway. I'm not interested in getting 400hp out of my 20016 CX-9 but am...
