CorkSport 2.5 and 2.0 Short Ram Intakes

[CorkSport]

We have them ready to go! The retail price is $179 and we will be shipping them out on monday. We have the intakes ready for both the 2.0 and the 2.5 models.

The MAF housings are really nice. We spent alot of time getting these perfected for the 2.0 and 2.5 models. The MAF housings are different between the two different engines.

Power Gains for the intakes are

2010 2.5 Liter, Standard Correction:

Peak HP vs. Peak HP: 7hp Gain
Midrange HP Gain: (3k rpm) 11hp Gain

2010 2.0 Liter, Standard Correction

Peak HP vs. Peak HP: 4hp Gain
Midrange (5k rpm) HP Gain: 8hp Gain

Thanks for reading

Nice expect an order from me. Any pics of it installed?

[hatchkidgt]

finally! definitely ordering this

[Mazdaboysp23]

Yay!!!!!!!!

[Fred]

Looking forward to reading buyer's reviews. Do you think I will pass CALIFORNIA smog if I install?

i thought about making this its own post...but perhaps it's not really worth it. based on these numbers, is it worth waiting for a CAI? i've heard that SRI are good for midrange power while CAI is good for upper RPM range power. i could be wrong. not sure what the pros or cons are. i'd assume the air IS cooler lower in the engine bay then right up top...any ideas? this looks tempting, but i'm not sure i wanna jump on it just cuz it's the first thing available.

[sumixali]

please tell me this will fit the 2.0 07mz3?!

[nadim]

when will the stuff for the speed 2010 be available!!

[CorkSport]

We should have intakes for the earlier Mazda 3s soon.

We are working on them.

This week. We will get the section on our webpage posted with the parts for the 2010-up MS3.

[CTt3P5]

Nice....if I can ever sell my MPV I'd pick one of these up in a second.

[Dubcnea]

in accordance with my earlier post...will you be doing a CAI for the '10?

[CorkSport]

No,

Sorry if there was some confusion there. We will be getting airboxes made for the SRIs in tha next few months but we will not be doing a cold air intake unless enough people want one.

[Dubcnea]

is there something about a CAI that really trumps a SRI or vice versa? that box looks interesting

[DarkSpeed3]

If this works for the 2010 speed3 I'll order right now.....

[Captain KRM P5]

these are for the naturally aspirated mazda3, not mazdaspeed.

[DarkSpeed3]

Doh!!

Since you've asked this question a few times in this thread and haven't really gotten an answer I'll try to point you in the right direction.

Depending on the application (NA or FI) there are different benefits to CAI and SRI. On an NA car you will see much higher peak gains from a CAI. Mid-range gains will be pretty close to the same though (again, application dependent). The downside to CAI is the possibility of hydrolock. This is when the intake is splashed with water (since it is down by the wheel well) while you are driving. The engine will stall out and sometimes may be damaged from hydrolock.

On a forced induction application with an intercooler, you will see similar performance values from a CAI and SRI on both mid-range and peak gains. This is because the factor affecting intake air temperature (IAT) is overwhelmingly influenced by the efficiency of the intercooler, not by the atmosphere the engine is breathing from. The complaint with SRI is that you're breathing hot engine bay air. Corksport has helped to limit this short-coming with the use of their intake boxes. The intake box helps to isolate the air the SRI is going to be breathing. Hopefully this answers your question.

Looks sweet.

You have Xtreme Vision Imports Inc. listed as Eastern Can. seller.

Can I order part from them?

or

If I order from you, what ~ would be the shipping cost for the 2.5L

Give XVI a call, you can order the intake from them.

thanks for giving the brief overview...appreciated. i had a CAI in my '06 and liked it quite a bit. the sound was incredible. i was only slightly concerned about hydrolock, but not much due to the fact that the filter curved upward at the end of the intake. that didn't make it impossible, but it helped. i never had an issue.

the thing that i like about the SRI is that i've read that they are better at improving throttle response than CAIs do. they are alos easier to install and maintain. however, that heatsoaking is making me hesitant. i'm not sure how often that will happen as i'm usually not in really heavy traffic, so it's just a slight con. i'm not sure how much those boxes are, but i did read on CS's site that they could help mitigate a bit of the heat issue. that is why i was curious as to whether or not they'd be making one.

i don't have a racing car nor will i use it for racing. but if i'm going to spend ~$200+ i'd like to get the best bang for the buck. again, thanks for taking time to respond. i'm still very tempted!

[JamesBip]

can you notice and sound difference with the SRI?

[Blendercloud]

can you notice and sound difference with the SRI?

My SRI is very loud, but there is a turbo behind it unlike this platform.

[Dubcnea]

i've heard SRIs are also louder since they are not 'buried' behind the wheel well. but the CAI was also pretty loud...but sounded excellent. the CS youtube vids of the intake sound pretty good.

[DarkSpeed3]

SRI is louder than CAI, it echos in the engine bay nice!

Any noticable increase in power for the 2.5?????????

Are these sri specs based on stock exhaust???????????

[DarkSpeed3]

Anyone know if the 2010 Speed3 SRI is avail yet?

[Eastbeach]

Give XVI a call, you can order the intake from them.

I emailed those guys 3 weeks ago and still no answer back.

Is there another place in Canada that I can buy from?

[Smiley2010]

Interms of sound difference does this short ram change the engine noise at all?

A buddy of mine installed a cold air intake on his 2001? Accord Coupe and it completely changed the sound of the engine (made it much more throaty). I was hoping to find something that could do that on the 2010 M3's

Any suggestions?

Chambly Mazda should also be able to hook you up with one.

Smiley, these do bring the sound up on the engine when you're at about 65% throttle and above, otherwise they're about stock sounding at cruise.

Fred, as for power numbers, our intake power numbers were intake only, but our exhaust power numbers include the intake.

Some comments also on the SRI vs. CAI - on the VVT engines, the low torque benefits that a CAI has over a SRI are almost all but negated with the stump pulling initial profile of the VVT.

Thanks Jason! I've contacted this dealership. I couldn't navigate their website (its all in French and I couldn't find the "English" button for it)

Talk with JF in parts, he is very helpful.

We have added red silicone as an option now for the intakes if anyone was looking for that.
