For Immediate Release: CorkSport Power Series Dual Exhaust for the 2010 Mazda 3

CorkSport announces the release of our new Power Series Single Exit 60mm Exhaust for the 2010 Mazda 3 Sedan and Hatchback in 2.5L trim. The system retails for $499 for the catback variety to $759 for catback plus high flow catalyst racepipe.

Features
Featuring Dual Resonators, a slip fit compression connection to the aft end of the catalytic converter on the factory exhaust the system, and picks up all of the stock hanger locations. The dual tailpipe design eliminates the large ~15 Lb factory tailpipe muffler and features a non-resonated corksport badged dual wall 90mm Exhaust Tip.

As a configurable option, a 60mm racepipe with or without high flow catalytic converter is available that attaches between the factory header downpipe flange and the front compression fitting of the cat-back portion of the exhaust system. This configuration adds $60 to the price of the system for the racepipe, $260 for the racepipe with high flow catalyst. HIGH FLOW CATALYSTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE IN CALIFORNIA. As with all of our Power Series Exhaust Systems, the system features TIG welded mandrel bent and polished T304 Stainless Steel components.

Power:
The dyno results on this combination of intake and exhaust were equally as impressive, but dynamically speaking were a bit different from the 2.0L. Where the 2.0L opened up quite a bit at the top end, the stump pulling 2.5L exhibited up to 20lbft of torque gains in the midrange with a consistent 10-12hp gain through the entire powerband. Stock Peak HP & Torque were 158/161, and the intake and exhaust built 171hp and 171lbft of torque.

Sound:
This car finally sounds like it should have from the factory. Video/Audio Here: YouTube Playlist

Right on. I wish there was a pic of it on the hatch as I find the stock exhaust tips recessed in under the bumper too much.
 
Attached are some close up photos of the tip alignment. We are pretty much right at the stock locations. Because of the scalloped cutouts on the rear valence, and the curvature of the bumper, it's pretty easy to get the 'way too long tips on a 1986 IROC Z' look. Our tips are 90mm diameter also, which is larger than stock, so the centerline of the pipe drops down a bit to provide decent spacing around the top of the tips, which also makes it more visible.

Also, the hatch and sedan bumper covers are the exact same part. It's an equal fit on either car.

MUCHO EXCELLENTE! however, i think you have a copy/paste error as you listed the 2.0 version with the 2.0 price! oops. but the link is correct. good job, guys. i appreciate the attention to detail, etc. i'm sure this will be another several page thread. :D
 
They dyno results was that just the catback or did it include the testpipe?

Also what courier do you use to ship to Canada? Just curious of the price.

Thanks Dub, Fixed! Wing, That was header back (w/ rp) + SRI.
 
oh...and will you or do you have any vids of inside the car? granted it's never really the same, but that seems to be what a lot of people are asking/caring about. what will it sound like inside? will it drone on and hurt my ears on long drives? etc. thanks CS!!
 
No, no CEL. There's no O2 sensor behind that catalyst, so the high flow cat will not throw a cel, and on your track days with the racepipe, you won't have to clear any codes either. :)

All of our videos are w/ the straight RP also.

i'm gettin a little out of my exhaust realm in how it relates to the ECU, but why would it care about the racepipe? okay forget it. Jason you're a little too fast for me :)

Actually I do have some audio files inside the car, but no video. I'll have to pull them off my phone, I just used the voice recorder so it's pretty sensitive to the phone moving around, etc - but you can get the drift, you can hear everything in the car as a reference (turn signal clicking at stop lights, etc). I'll post it up in the original post as soon as I get it off the phone.

That is cool they decided not to put an o2 there works out well for the guys that plan to get the RP
 
Embedded the vids in the post as requested...Is it working for you guys?

For California, we cannot sell the high flow catalyst into the state (it's illegal, don't ask, it's frustrating), so your option would be the cat-back which would require cutting the factory exhaust (one cut) behind the stock catalyst. The exhaust is a slip fit connection over the factory exhaust with a nice heavy duty compression fitting and socket head cap screws. For race days, you could get the racepipe which bolts up in place of the factory catalyst. Some of the folks who live in non emission controlled states are buying that option as a permanent solution, but in California that's not recommended.
