Corksport exhaust debate

[2013_M3]

I have a debate going on in my head, as to which exhaust is a good investment for the best sound, I want to get the Corksport line because I have a SRI and I'm very happy with it. I've been looking at some videos on you tube of Corksport exhausts paired with Corksport SRI'S they sound amazing, my debate in my head is to either go with no racepipe and just get the straight exhaust, or get the racepipe and the cat back with the exhaust, or get the racepipe with the exhaust, I don't want it too loud so when I'm at a light I'm labeled as 'rice', but I also don't want it quiet so it doesn't even sound like I spent the money, I really like the way it sounds without anything no racepipe and no CB, because I think the SRI is doing some work as well, I don't want to cut into my stock system either, so there goes the cat back, so what I'm really asking is if the racepipe is worth the 80$ or should I just go straight exhaust?

Two cents anyone?

[Jackal]

Corksport exhaust with high flow cat. Nuff said.

[SKyactivmanny]

Im gonna go with the corksport exhaust + racepipe & high flow cat my self, others have magnaflow which also sounds good. I guess it all comes down to budget muh fwiend.

[Dynames]

If you don't want loud you're looking in the wrong place. Corksport + racepipe is going to be loud. If you want something less loud, go with either magnaflow or racing beat. Magna would be louder than RB.

That's exactly it, and I'm no where near experienced enough to cut my stock system for the cat, let alone the exhaust w racepipe and cat are 718$ 820$ shipped :bang

Maybe I could get a discount with that group buy that might be happening? Idk but I sure as hell can't afford that whole system right now let alone install it

im pretty sure that if you dont get the racepipe, or the high flow cat, that you have to cut your stock exhaust.

I really do enjoy the sound of the exhaust with no racepipe and no cat paired with the SRI. call me crazy?

Really? Pretty sure I read it was straight bolt on

If you get the high flow cat and racepipe you don't have cut anything. Its all bolt on or so the site says.

[Dynames]

You should wait until spring or at least when the meets start up again and give the different exhausts a listen to see what you like. Especially if you don't want to cut anything. If you go with whatever setup and its too loud you'll end up butchering the exhaust either way most likely.

I'm so confused :rant

I was under the impression,
Exhaust = bolt
Exhaust + racepipe = bolt
Exhaust + racepipe + cat = cut at second resonator

cs exhaust axle portion, and mid pipe alone, you will need to cut and weld to your existing second catalytic converter. add either the racepipe or high flow cat which replaces your seconday cat and bolts right up to the existing oem header. thus, what a real "cat"back is.

So the oem exhaust gets cut up to make up this new CS one?

What if I just got the exhaust no cat no racepipe

[Kiyomi]

only if you dont get the addition of the racepipe, or high flow cat.

[2013_M3]

Ah ok now I'm beginning to understand, the exhaust with no cat no racepipe just bolts on

Correct?

[SKyactivmanny]

Naw man the exhaust alone by it self you have to cut. If you get racepipe and high flow cat then it just bolts on.

[Kiyomi]

Ah ok now I'm beginning to understand, the exhaust with no cat no racepipe just bolts on

lol.. no, the other way around.

our exhaust goes like this from the engine

header---flexpipe/first cat---second cat/straight pipe/high flow cat---mid pipe(usually has resonators)---axle portion which contains the mufflers---exhaust tips.

Oooooooooooooo... So to not have to fabricate anything or cut and weld, you buy the cat and racepipe and replace where they go in the stock system, and that all bolts on nicey nice

[Kiyomi]

Oooooooooooooo... So to not have to fabricate anything or cut and weld, you buy the cat and racepipe and replace where they go in the stock system,

haha, yes. you can buy either the straight pipe, which is just straight piping that has a flange to bolt up to the existing oem header or buy the high flow cat, which also replaces the same amount of piping.

i have part of the cs system just sitting in my garage. a used/burnt high flow cat and resonator. lemme know if u want it for cheap. :D

Thank you everyone haha

[Hyperion]

Good job explaining guys.
I would recommend the cs exhaust with racepipe for the best sound. I like the over my current set up of cs exhaust with high flow cat and vibrant headers.
If you want to tone down the sound just a bit get the high flow cat. Unfortunately it is pretty pricey and not necessary. So I'd recommend just cutting your stock exhaust and welding it on as a cat back for less sound

[Jackal]

Yes I have the Racing Beat axleback.
But I got the CS racepipe replacing my second cat. ;)

[r4mi5awi]

The racing beat axle back exhaust for the skyactiv is a direct bolt on replacement as well I believe.

[greardon]

Go listen to the corksport exhaust video clip on the mazdaspeed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NodOMLnJLHw&feature=player_embedded

[aZuMi]

I had CS exhaust + racepipe before...too loud for my taste. If you like hearing a drone when driving in the highway, then go ahead. But it sucks when you start going long driving with it since you can't enjoy your music.

I'm now running with MS3 axle back and it's just right. You can still make it sound commanding when and you can reduce the drone sound if you try driving in lower rpms.

[Ghost1]

Since we are on exhaust topic, people with custom exhaust do you guys have 2.5" or 3" ?

Im Currently running corksport catback with the reso's taken out so straight piped with a UR test pipe....its pretty loud lol, not ricey at all, really deep and has a rumble to it..sounds like a beaut, the catback alone wasn't enough for my liking. Good luck!

whats your race car?

Im gonna go out on a limp here and say that that car is not road legal with that set up? Also what car is it and what racing series?

I have a 1992 celica gts. Road legal. I don't race in any series just track car for when I need to feel the needforspeed.

It's to loud for daily driving. Loud exhaust just brings cops specially if you like to rev.

Tried that, lol, but ear drums started to suffer cuz of the drone + base. Not for long driving, lol.

[Genpu_Mz3]

it doesnt bother me, it goes pretty quiet when your not accelerating, sounds nice imo

[ottoyu34]

Each to their own. But I find for my trim of 3 specifically, there aren't much bolt-on exhaust options available. Either loud or quiet. Nothing in between.

[2013_M3]

So come spring I'm planning on the racepipe, CBE combo, however Derrick from Corksport told me that I have to cut after the second cat and then clamp on the cat back, anyone know reliable shops to get it installed once I've purchased it? Or anyone that's experienced with install wanna team up with me and help out?

i dont get where this cutting thing comes from. if you get the racepipe with the cbe, you should not have to cut anything, unless cs changed the design.

[SKyactivmanny]

I think its if you get the high flow cat that you dont need to cut??? Maybe CorkSport - Derrick can enlighten us?

from the cs website. the top right piece is the high flow cat in the first pic, and straight pipe in the second. same amount of piping.
should bolt directly with no cutting. fits into the mid pipe with a hex clamp.

"
* The racepipe versions of the exhaust are bolt on with no cutting required otherwise installation of the cat back system requires cutting your factory exhaust system after the second catalyst.

[Genpu_Mz3]

i dont get where this cutting thing comes from. if you get the racepipe with the cbe, you should not have to cut anything, unless cs changed the design.

You have to cut a few inches after the 2nd cat on the 2.0l and then the cbe is attached to the cat with a clamp.

[Kiyomi]

You have to cut a few inches after the 2nd cat on the 2.0l and then the cbe is attached to the cat with a clamp.

yes, that would be the case. but not if the op gets a racepipe or high flow cat which is what im explaining and which the op wants to get. i dont know how else to explain it then i already have. the cs website even says that you dont have to cut if you opt out to get one of the racepipe options. only if you get the exhaust with no racepipe or high flow cat do you have to custom fit/cut.
you needed to cut because im pretty sure u put in the straight pipe after the fact which is all good.

This is a good laugh.

If your going CS, wait around for a GB. They come up frequently. Its what I did and it saved me a bit of money.

[r4mi5awi]

I was thinking of getting one this season but my little guy is still too young. Still not sure. Maybe wait till he's a year old.

[2013_M3]

I'm just saying what Derrick told me because i sent him a pm, I'm starting to understand it the more I look into it, I won't have it till May at least, and on that note I'll be waiting for a group buy, on a side note whose this Jimmy guy?

[Canadianbacon]

whose this Jimmy guy?

take it to jimmy for install if you are having any issues at street performance.

corksport with racepipe is loud... well in my 2.5 people will know your coming. under 2k rpm isn't to bad. i like it loud

[boo-ninja]

Even my exhaust non race pipe is pretty loud

[r4mi5awi]

When you guys mean loud. You guys mean at idle and/or cruising? I personally don't care how loud it is when the revs climb.

[Hyperion]

You can YouTube my channel "hyperion_inc" for corksport +race pipe driving and idle vids

[zzz3]

corksport + racepipe is way too loud. if you like drawing attention to your little fwd 2.0l mazda by all means go for it.

[r4mi5awi]

Does the high flow cat make a noticeable difference in noise suppression compared to racepipe alone?

[Hyperion]

Yes.
It also reduces the burbling which is one of the best parts, even with the removal of my first cat :(

[Jackal]

Yes.
It also reduces the burbling which is one of the best parts, even with the removal of my first cat :(

Do you consider the cat. that is replaced by the racepipe to be the first or second cat.?

[r4mi5awi]

Yes.

Good to know. I may be still hooked on this then. Will see how finances pan out in the spring/summer.

[Hyperion]

I consider it a secondary cat even though it is my only. Just because of the placement.

[hayabusaold]

Hello all,

I'm new to this forum and would like to offer my experiences with the CS system for the 2.5. I recently traded in my 2011 Mazda3GT 2.5 for a new 2014 Mazda3 2.5 and my old car had the CS exhaust system installed. The system I got was with the high flow cat and after removing everything from, and including, the second OEM cat on-back, then installing this system, there were no modifications needed. Everything just bolted straight up. When I traded in my old 3, I put everything back to stock for the dealership and kept the CS system (it looks very clean for going through 2 Canadian years of summers and winters).

The sound was great. I drove it for 2 years with this system and yes there was some droning when driving on highway at mid RPM, but when you got on it, the sound was very unique (not tinny or raspy). There was also a nice gurgle and subdued pop when down-shifting...I loved that sound.


FYI, I will be getting the new CS axle-back system they are now listing for the new 2014 2.5 model...their site has a sound clip/video and it sounds pretty good also, even on the 2.5 with automatic.

...Pete.

you don't need crap loads of noise to actually have power. Besides, quiet when cruising and loud under load is all I want. When I had the CS it rattled my brain and quite literally my ears rang for about 1 hour after driving. Although sounding very nice I did not keep the exhaust for very long

[r4mi5awi]

Loud aftermarket exhaust is loud.

For every loud post, I get the equivalent not loud post for the cs exhaust. So here's my question cuz I don't care if it goes bazooka under WOT. How loud is it under 2000 rpm or roughly cruising speed? Which is how I drive 85% of the time. Does it sound like you're driving a lawnmower at those speeds or is it a subdued drone that blends like white noise when listening to say the radio?

Saying its just loud and my brain rattles really makes it difficult to understand where you're coming from unless you can say when and at what circumstances?

Sorry for beating the dead horse with this but I'm one impulsive click from this cs one or the racing beat.

From first hand experience you could hear the car coming from a few blocks away, it had drone while cruising, I like loud exhausts but to much is too much. Like I said after driving home (highway driving) I would hear ringing for literally an hour. I ended up with a CP-E now much better then before.

[r4mi5awi]

Fair enough, thanks for the input!

[Hyperion]

Rb and Cs are two completely different exhausts. Rb is an axle back, Cs is a cat back with the option to remove your secondary cat, of course it's going to be louder.

Definitely. I was fishing and hoping that the CS exhaust noise would be somehow tolerable for DD. I've come to the conclusion that the only way I'd buy the CS exhaust is with the Racepipe+highflow cat option. Which is plenty loud and something I can't afford to live with plus the potential nagging from my wife for buying it daily. I've decided I'm going to go with the RB ABE. Subtle enough I suppose.

[Hyperion]

I have videos of me driving with the cs and race pipe on YouTube. Just search Hyperion Inc on YouTube and there will be a few of driving. Mind you that's with enthusiastic driving

[Wisecraker]

I agree. The main reason Im taking so long to choose an exhaust is that I dont want one that drones (and it doesnt help that I have an auto, but thats another story). Some nice sound, with some aggressiveness at WOT is fine. But if im accelerating slowly in morning traffic I dont want that drone.

Kind of my reasoning for not being able to get an exhaust too.

At this rate I'll never get one!!

I've watched your vids! :) and plenty others I think more in the past two weeks and cumulatively countless times since the idea popped into my head. Watched specific ones with windows up and at cruise as well as from normal takeoff from traffic lights up to cruising speed which is what I care about. It dawned on me, I only want to hear the exhaust when I go WOT like on ramps or spirited driving and not every time I tip the throttle despite how low the drone might be. Plus with a baby and maybe another in the future, McGuyver_3 post made me worry about their hearing.

I am by far not exaggerating. I had the exhaust for only a few months. I ended selling it to floodgates as he wanted a "LOUD" exhaust. Then when he heard it on his car and driving after 2 days he thought it was way to loud and also ended up switching the back price to a racing beat.
Proof be told I am not exaggerating
For all those debating race pipe or high flow you can only choose one. It replaces the factory cat and prevents cutting up the stock exhaust.

Unfortunately no, when everyone relocated to the bar I lost Hyperion. But on the plus side I think I made up my mind on the exhaust I'm getting, Hyperion and I talked at the dinner and he explained it all out for me. One thing I didn't explain in the original post is I have a new born so the exhaust can't be overwhelming like everyone says Corksport is, maybe when he's a little older I'll slap a Corksport on, but until then I think the best thing to do is get a speed exhaust MAYBE get a Corksport racepipe in there to give it extra sound as I think I know a seller, Booter22 when we were chatting about the speed 3 exhaust where did you get it from again? Best thing about this too is to my understanding it's a couple hundred bucks vs 1000+

True about the price. MS3 exhaust sounds great imho. Will be fine for the little one.

Ah sorry, thought there was no need considering it would be much too loud for a baby

And I also have a Corksport SRI which adds to the overall sound? Now I'm faced with trying to find a seller for a speed 3 exhaust, you can't buy them new can you?

This is true, probably better to not hear it and then want it :chuckle

i got mine from a friend who upgraded his full exhaust on his speed and the mrs got hers from peter on the form for i think it was $100 mind you that was only the muffler not the full mid pipe as well. there are a few that come up for sale from time to time. just keep your eyes open.

heres just rear muffler on kijiji - http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-auto-parts-tires-engine-engine-parts-Mazdaspeed3-Gen2-OEM-Muffler-axle-back-W0QQAdIdZ558669182

also has a decent tone by itself.

Would you recommend getting the midpipe as well?

again really up to you, depending on how loud you want it. i find it sounds a bit better but its not a huge jump with and with out it. but if you are planning to do the race pipe i think it would make sense to get the mid pipe as well. then your not going larger pipe, smaller pipe, larger pipe.

Your best bet is to get it off another member for sure. Once spring time rolls around you usually see people selling these. Great upgrade usually for pretty cheap.
