Not to mention from what I have read on the mazda 3 forum is that you actually lose low end torque with no hp gains. The placebo effect.

No offense to the OP but I thought the same. The larger OEM intake is clearly a CAI even if not as flowy as an aftermarket one would be. That shorty looks like a step backwards

That was my thoughts lol 😆

You do, on just about every car you put these dumb things on.

@Ed Findlay people think any aftermarket part actually increases performance

YA so, and it was sarcastic. The engineers could have also designed the ultimate cold air intake with a High flow filter to get more out of the engine. but instead they spent a year 3d scanning the space and over engineering this crazy contraption.

@@jasonin2details you just needed a high flow filter.. That fits inside oem. Box. , or least buy another piece of plastic tubing so your Intake cstches colder air from the bottom.

@@jasonin2details After reading this I respect your opinion completely. They need a better filter and that's it.

@@jasonin2details did u consider that the engine is sucking hot air from the engine bay instead cooler air in front of the car.? Warmer air means less mass. I don't think its better then before.

Hot air intake ftw lol

Yeah lol you sacrifice a lot of performance for the sake of sound. Engineers aren’t doing anything unnecessary it’s not just to reduce sound lol

The stock airbox is literally 8 inches from where this goes lmfao

@@draconiceon2638 yes, but it has intakes to suck air in from the bumper and below the car where cooler air is vs got air from this SRI

​@@KeAndreFoster cool air still comes in from those locations while driving, you just have to worry about heat soak at lights, but let's be honest, you are not launching these cars off the line.

@@KeAndreFoster but the box still gets all the heat from the engine and the air temp changes as such…

Some people dont like window tint!

I don't like rubber floor matts. They make total sense, easy to clean, last a long time, keep factory carpet cleaner. But I just like to send a message, Nice carpet matts look better. live on the edge a little, make a statement, be individual!

You got a 400 dollar exhaust and negated all the power gains with a 300$ intake

@@Samiam_ariel With a 2019 3 there is now power gains anywhere. Things got less than 200 horse. I like the way it sounds that’s bout it. Traded that in though and got a ‘22 Tacoma now. Kinda miss the 3 and how comfortable it is but I do love having a truck to haul my detailing stuff in

Hi mate I’ve got a Mazda 3 2021 skyactiv, 2 litre -120bhp...Been looking everywhere to improve the sound of the exhaust any recommendations/tips would be appreciated thanks..Also I live in England and all exhaust systems seem to be American haha !

@@harrybracken5755 ECU will do the job. 172hp and 230 nM torqur

I would follow that mod up with a High flow filter also and that should net some HP also.

@@jasonin2details i was thinking about that but wasn’t sure if it was worth it. But I think I will now thank you.

@@jasonin2details would it be possible for you to make a follow up video on the corksport lowering springs? Thank you for the great content 😀

Hello there. How did you do that? I already have a high flow k&n filter on the stock intake system. But that trick sounds interesting and would like to try it.

@@joegonz1983 I used gorilla duct tape to block off the holes 🕳 from the resonator, since that was all I had at the time.

definitely a reduction in mpg, did the same in my '17 mazda3 2.5L, obviously worse mileage.

How would you lose Mpg for freer flowing intake? I'm thinking it's because we enjoy the sound, so we gun it more out of habit, and that's really why the Mpg suffers. Prove me wrong. I mean really, when is the last time you blipped the throttle of your STOCK car to impress someone at light...... NEVER! 🤣🤣🤣

@@godzla69 more air means the car needs more fuel to maintain proper AFR

Ummmm, no not necessarily. Unless you tuned the engine CPU, the car will adjust for the optimal engine economy and performance based on the algorithms programmed. The MFA helps with this process. Especially when compensating for altitudes and other instances where air density may be effected, ie... Hot vs cold air (cold air being more dense). Experiment ; take a straw, try and take a deep breath through it, now try it again while slight pinching the straw. Which one was easier to breath through? No Brainer right? Your brain nows how much oxygen you need, but your body will worker harder trying to draw in that air through a restrictive opening, which means increased heart rate, I turn upping your metabolic rate (Mpg in your cars case). But if you easily draw air in, but it's heated vs being cold, that effects density therefore with out a heat shield any gains you may have achieved are negligible.

@@godzla69 the whole point of an aftermarket intake is to increase airflow. if you're flowing more air the MAF will account for that and adjust fuel trims accordingly. more air = more fuel = worse economy. it's no surprise *whatsoever* that an aftermarket intake reduced fuel economy, especially in an economy car. i'm not reading the rest of whatever you commented because it has nothing to do with this conversation, but if you mentioned heat soak there was showings that a corksport short ram intake had negligible heat soak which immediately went away upon driving the car regardless.

It’s a sound test with the magnaflow exhaust installed

THATS WHAT THE WHISTLE NOISE IS?! I loooooove the whistle dude.

Congratulations yourself! Please see my comments below.

So you just hate fun then huh?

​@@StreetP00DLEif losing power is fun for you then go for it lol. There are mods that are way more cost effective that are both fun and gain actual HP.

@@JohnBoulding lmao loosing power at the cost of that sweet intake sound, but what are some of those more cost effective alternatives for more hp?

@@StreetP00DLE number one , an ECU reflash/tune, Lighter wheels, are two of the most cost effective. With a tune you could even run and intake with larger piping and MAF housing and get real gains from it. But slapping on a cai and mufflers downs nothing for power

CorkSport has a cold box for the short ram intake.

@@gushinojosa7696 yea I ended up getting the takeda dry flow cold air intake. Happy with my purchase.

This does come with a turbo now for the 2021 models.

@@joemzd not necessarily “fast”. It may be faster than the 2.5 NA but nothing compared to performance oriented hatches. Still a wonderful car that would sell like hot cakes if a performance version was released 🏎

@@rodrigosuarez586 I had an 02 Camaro Z28 and then a 2013 Genesis coupe track and now a 21 3 HB turbo and yes the mazda 3 isnt as exciting as the other cars but its almost just as quick, especially to 60, it has the perfect power for launching where I never get any wheel spin. It makes like 300 lbft of torque @ 2000 RPM crazy low in the rev range.

@@Loooooooooooooooool I love my Mazda3 2.5T as well.

@@rodrigosuarez586 "Still a wonderful car that would sell like hot cakes if a performance version was released " Ya thats why the speed 3 is their number one selling model

@timothywood4972 just a little. Nothing to write home about. Mostly great sound and looks

It's adds 20 HP 20 Torque

​​@@jasonin2detailsvideo is horrible

@@johnx585 Thanks for supporting the youtube algorithm it got YA!

And MPG

Haven't experience any power lose or heating issues. Any possible MPG lose will be assessed over time.

I have put K&N filters on all my cars. I do keep them cleaned and oiled at least once a year. I have never had a MAF go bad.

Not really. Mostly for looks and little sound. Maybe a few HP. Its not very loud at all

It will actually hurt your fuel efficiency and you gain no actual performance out of installing one of these in your 3. If you want more induction noise, you’ll get that, at the cost of fuel efficiency. It’s up to you if it’s worth the trade off.

It could but it should not. And it takes about 5 min to swap back in if you were really worried.

Si. Ya lo tenía instalado el sonido viene de el intake y exhaust combinado.

Did you plug the connector for mass air flow sensor back in during install? If so, I have no clue 🤷‍♂️

@@sickslickz hello, I got my air flow sensors right, I just unpluged my battery and plugged it back. And now the malfunction thing went off. Thank you so much anyway, have a nice one.:)

i want a mazda3 hatch but can’t afford those news 2.5turbos. Is it possible to get a turbo kit for the 186 hp non turbo engines and get it up to the same hp as the new ones?!

None

@@jacksonbf I've heard it is about 5 HP.

@@robertwilliam9558 it’s only induction noise, and honestly it can get wet and only brings in hot engine air. But I love the sound lol

I mean 5 if anything, but probably no extra horse power, the sound inside the cabin is pretty sweet tho (the audio in video does not give it justice), car does take a mpg/kpg hit, but in my opinion, the sound makes up for it in my opinion, definitely wakes the car up, and makes it more fun to drive at just regular speeds

It probably lost power

5lbs just stop eating fast food for a month

@@CrunchyTire stop feeding cars fast food ✅

It's at the tippy top of my spoda be real wordz!

Not sure sorry

Yes, Thats what this car is

It will not... 4th Mazda cars in from the same dealership and no warranty void with all 4 cars I have installed an intake in over the yrs.

You lose power, you increase fuel consumption and you force feed your engine hot air which is a killer for Skyactive engines since they use more air on the engine to cause combustion, than any other engine out there. So no, you only get a nice sound and ruin your car.

I highly doubt that exhaust is as good as the oem. The new sound is definitely not nice enough to warrant any potential issues.
