Great video! Your honest review and experience will only make the product better. It’s likely whoever represented for CorkSport has very little experience dealing with customer service…would’ve, at the very least, bought them some time by simply saying “we’ll look into the issue and get back to you ASAP” instead of completely ignoring your concerns. And now that they have a fix, CS should send you a free sway bar or some other product and apologize for the poor customer experience…it’s never too late and a small price to pay, and your current and future customers will thank you for it.
Awesome video! This video has shown a genuine review of the product and good heads-up on what to experience upon purchasing and installing the exhaust system. I plan to purchase one myself due to having a sedan model. Most videos on the purchase of the product just so them as stock and then with the modification so I appreciate your time and effort on making this video! Shoots then!
I have the 63.5 catback and no issues at all. I know the 80mm had issues at the start. Generally corksport is pretty good I have the rear sway bar and it helps the car a lot
@@marsmazda haven’t lowered mine yet but really want to put the not so low springs. Sucks your experience was not good I’ve only had positive things with them but I usually only speak to Brian
@@anthonydigiorgio9240 lol that's funny cause Brian was the one that I emailed about the exhaust and like u seen in the emails he didn't wanna be wrong haha. it is what it is though. just wish we had actual jdm companies making more parts for this platform.
Man, I'm glad I watched this. Great job providing updates at the end. I definitely won't be buying this exhaust and I was damn close to pulling the trigger on it.
it’s still a good exhaust but sadly the only 3 inch one on the market. if hks makes a 3 inch i’ll definitely go with them and replace this one. corksport also sends out extended hangars now to fix their clearance problems. the experience i went through with them was kinda shitty which stops me from buying more products. ur experience will prolly be better
It is emparitive to do a visual inspection after any installation, and yes working with Jack stands can make it a tight squeeze depending on the size of the jack stands I'm most likely going to try and use my oem hangers since I have a 2024 turbo3 enjoy the the exhaust. And I would invest in the e85 set up as well with the 1 step colder plugs big difference in wtq and bhp. I'm currently just doing 2.5gl e85 and 9.5gl 91 Octain with an corksport SRI. Thanks for the video.
Everyone praises CS for their parts when to me it seems like a few dudes just slapping together good enough products for the cars compared to what else is out there
ya all i heard was good things about corksport until i bought my first product. no precise measurements and bad customer service lol. i think the 4th gen only has so many companies making aftermarket parts, we need actual japanese companies so we can get quality. i’d rather pay once cry once for quality than install this exhaust which who knows what other headaches it could cause.
@o3nisoaso3 I just don't think people know how long Corksport has actually been around, for I remember seeing them around since late 90's -00's. They had parts for the mazdaspeed. Godspeed has been around for a while, also. Not every after-market part is gonna fit, right either.
cool, im thinking to buy a mazda 3 aswell...but in Europe we only have 122 hp, 150 hp, 187 hp and the 140 (2,5L) hp engines... probably will take the 150 hp...im not a racer :D
i noticed when installing. it’s still on holding strong though lol and i’m getting some new wheels pretty soon. thanks it’s actually signed by the whole plan b team back in 2011!
@@marsmazda im in pierce county/ bonney lake area. I LOVE IT, makes the car feel how it shouldve from the factory. more aggressive boost, spools faster and sooner, and then add the intake and exhaust its probably about 300+hp. its not gonna be an STI killer, but maybe with the release of a turbo down pipe, a rear engine mount and possibly some lighter wheels i might be able to get into the low 5s 0-60
@@drive2survivex damn that’s like 3 hours from me, im on whidbey island. that’s pretty quick the only thing holding back is the trans but prolly could beat a sti in a dig and keep up. what map are u running?
Mistake. It will not work with your car's fuel trims (OEM tune). You are ruining your engine. Either you are going to run lean or rich and such with nonprescribed emissions. This is foolish!
Great video. Thanks for sharing your experience. I was thinking of getting the corksport mid pipe . This video is a year old so I'm hoping CS has fixed this issue. I'll will send them email asking if they did. Also where did you get the mud flaps from?? Thanks.

yea i agree but it is what it is. most people have good experiences with cs, it’s just my luck i guess haha. i just stay away from cs products now
Stock muffler is super heavy!! Love the corksport!! I have the axle back on my mazda6 gt reserve and noticed a big increase in top end!

Is it safe to run e85 and premium gas in the Mazda turbos? Or do you need a flex fuel kit?
Sounds great! I’m in Seattle and just got my 3 PP hatchback if you ever wanna cruise!

Murican engineering at its finest. This is exactly why I always buy after market parts from Japanese tuner companies.
lol right. i was expecting a lot more from corksport. i wish HKS continued making parts for this car. their quality is like no other.

do you know about the decibel levels on the 80mm?
oof, i don’t. it’s quieter than u think though. can’t hear drone when going 80 on the highway. it’s only loud on cold start
SOUNDS FIREEE
link for the lugnuts pls
Skunk2 (520-99-0855) Black Series 12mm x 1.5mm Lug Nut Set - 20 Piece a.co/d/3FcRF21
@@marsmazda thankyou ✌️
Those lugnuts are not meant for stock wheel's. Factory nuts have a round seat not a cone. Nice Plan B classic logo deck on the wall.
i noticed when installing. it’s still on holding strong though lol and i’m getting some new wheels pretty soon. thanks it’s actually signed by the whole plan b team back in 2011!
Which blow off valve is that?
i got the bms stage 2 intake that’s making the turbo sounds
Is this problem only for the catback?
oh ya
@@marsmazda so the axle back has no issues?
@@natee2016 correct. i haven’t seen problems with the axle back. i’d say go with the hks axle back but it’s a bit pricey
@@marsmazda okay. Thanks for replying
Where did you get the mud guards from?

@@nelsonnarciso1791 thanks boss. cs has fixed these issues. but i got the mud flaps from ebay, they’re just oem replicas for $20
@marsmazda cool. Wondering what the fix is?. Did they adjust the flanges to clear the drive shaft ? Do you know what the fix is? Thank you brother.
So don’t buy the corksport catback. Got it 🤝🏽
lol right. but they fixed it with a new hangar. just sad it’s the only 3 inch catback for this platform
fuckin shameful from corksport
