Intake for added turbo sounds

[Yellowred99]

Can anyone who has upgraded their intake verify if have noticed significantly louder turbo sounds? Also any turbo owners try the Borla stype bolt on exhaust?

I got a slight increase with the Corksport TIP.

But most of the sound is still suppressed by the air box.

It's when you go without the air box that you hear everything.

hmmm, then ill leave air box oem, and perhaps use a borla bolt on and maybe ill hear more turbo sound from the exhaust...

You won't. You'll just hear more exhaust

I take it you have experience with the matter, how do you find the Borla bolt on type exhaust note on a turbo CX5? Also what intake TIP model are you referring to exactly? Would you say the "whoosh" was worth the price/install ? Thanks.

This, but I got the TIP only and not the rest.

For exhaust, I would search YouTube. But don't limit it to the CX-5. The powertrain is the same in most Mazdas.

oh that inlet pipe sounds great!!!! i will buy the whole kit. thank you. I guess ill shoot for the S type Borla catback, it cant be crazy loud on this car, i watched a few you tube videos but you know its difficult to judge exhaust sounds from youtube.

you should keep the stock airbox. you will lose low end torque and increase IAT with a short ram.

They have a solution for that now.

But yeah the best is to run it to the fender, which no one makes a kit for.

What's the solution?

Is there even space to draw air from the bumper?

Yeah there is plenty of room to run a CAI. In fact I want to make something, but I had to put plans on hold for now.

Cool.

I've been pretty happy with the intake sound on the NA 2.5. the 2.5T seems to also have some decent induction sound when you're on it.

The early Skyactiv's had an exhaust that you can actually hear, stock. But the CX-5 2.5T sounded like a muffled blender. They really muted the exhaust note with the newer models.

I deleted the second cat and replaced the OEM resonator with a vibrant high flow. In retrospection, I would have kept the second cat, but mine was damaged.

I thought about having a shop fab this in, in place of the OEM muffler:
