![]() To not get the Karens looking at my car when I cold start it may be enough of an excuse for me to do this upgrade. If this is the case, I may bite the bullet and get a high-flow cat and the Corksport mid-pipe, get the high-flow cat installed onto the Corksport mid-pipe and swap the oem mid-pipe with this mid-pipe. Someone had mentioned that the Corksport mid-pipe coupled with the axle-back is quieter than just the Corksport axle-back on a gen 4 Mazda 3 NA.

The only reason that I did not also upgrade the mid-pipe immediately with the 2.5" one that Corksport offers is the lack of the second cat in their mid-pipe, which makes me concerned about the environmental impact. Warranty : 25,000-mile Davico limited warranty on catalyst emission properties and 5-year or 50,000-mile limited warranty on tube, shell and welds Quantity Sold : Sold individually Anticipated Ship Out Time : 4-5 business days. It made the car more enjoyable to drive for sure. ![]() Especially the lower rpms seem much more useable now. There seems to be a bit more throttle response, and more power. The note of the exhaust while driving is slightly louder and a lot deeper. Inside the cabin, there is very little added shaking, which I absolutely love. However, the loud cold start will probably deter me from doing so. Whereas a steady check engine light may mean you merely need to tighten you gas cap next time you stop in order to reset. If you have a flashing check engine light, turn off the engine immediately to prevent potential motor damage. So much so that I even thought about getting the muffler on the left side chopped out by the muffler shop while I was there. A check engine light can indicate a broad spectrum of problems with your 2002 Mazda Protege5. Only on cold start it is pretty loud, other than that it is quite subdued. Special Edition HKS Carbon Titanium Hi-Power Exhaust systems are exclusively available for certain popular applications. If you ask me, they should come from Corksport welded. Depending on the application, Hi-Power muffler tips are 96mm, 115mm and 120mm in diameter, piping diameter ranges from 55mm to 95mm. So with the left tip barely on there, I drove my Mazda 3 to a local muffler shop and got the tips welded on there after removing the unnecessary clamps. ![]() I even tried it the clamp at various positions to overcome this but with no success. The right one held the tip in place when torqued down to 40 lb-ft, the left one however did not hold the tip at neither 40 lb-ft or 60 lb-ft. I just don't like them to begin with, and the left one did not clamp hard at all. The clamps that are provided to attach the variable length tips onto the pipes coming out of the muffler is just a terrible design idea. The installation was perfect and generally very satisfying as has been my experience with all Corksport products. I only have quite a few chassis bracing upgrades as well as a stiffer rear engine mount and a very stiff added rear sway bar. I installed the Corksport axle-back on my 2021 Mazda 3 AWD NA AT sedan a few day ago.Īt this point my exhaust system as well as intake is completely stock.
