CR SRI for the 2011 2.0L Feedback

[mazdageorge]

I was looking for an SRI for a second gen 2011 2.0L and it seems that there are a limited number of companies out there that make them for the 2.0. I was inclined to buy the Corksport SRI but was discouraged by the possible cross boarder duties that will be added to the cost plus the feedback from some people on delivery delay nightmares. I then looked into Takeda, Simota, Reactive and Cosmo Racing. I wanted one that doesn`t cost as much, does not require a breather filter and will not throw a CEL so I decided to try out Cosmo Racing (This is local and based in Montreal and all questions were promptly answered by Paul there CS Rep). Here are my observations:
Pros:
-Cost is reasonable
-easy to install
-Sound/Growl is good
-Filter that comes with it is better than the previous one
-Better throttle response and gas mileage
-No CEL
-the intake tube has a slot for the crankcase breather tube

Cons:
-The rubber connector and clamps are cheap and could do better in terms of quality

pics are my initial install with the stock lower box

and after I took out the lower box and replaced it with a generic aluminum heat shield.

Overall, after 200 kms, so far so good.

Nice! I had these on my old sedan and couldn't complain (same colour and all). Similar to what you said, the rubber connector looks really cheap and will eventually wither away (sort off - mine started flaking). But other than that, the sound and make of the actual unit seems ok. No CEL and all went well. :)

Enjoy the sound!

If you go through the eastern distributor of Corksport through Montreal (JF carrier), you wont be hit by heavy duties, just shipping from montreal. just something to note in the future which not many people know about. :D shhhhh

lol wouldnt u like to know!

basically its a mazda dealership in montreal, forgot which one. u phone them up through the cs website an ask for Jf Carrier. He is the main distributor in Canada and gets parts from them regularly and keeps stock. he cant speak english that well, very broken so it makes it slightly difficult.

Do you guys know if this fits in SkyActiv??
