Love my new 2014 Mazda3s CorkSport intake!

I installed it Sunday. Took it for a test drive afterwards and then drove it to work today. It sounds great! Not obnoxiously loud, even at WOT, and completely stock-sounding at cruise, and the sound when you get on the gas is an invigorating growl that takes on a more metallic sound near redline. Can't say for sure I notice the 6whp maximum increase in power, but when the car makes 184hp from the factory, a bump up to 189 or 190hp probably won't be hugely noticeable. Combine that with the fact that I switched to my 17 pound OZ Racing wheels just the day before, and it's hard to say how much of the increased spice is due to the light wheels or the intake. Next up will hopefully be your axle-back exhaust. Thanks, CorkSport!

Oh, and the install was a piece of cake, even for a mechanical dumbass like me.
 
glad you like the intake. I have the same short ram installed on my 14 6 and yes the sound it makes is intoxicating when you load up that engine.
