BIGGU Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 And installed a exhaust! I just got done installing it and im very pleased with it, not very loud *haven't driven it yet* but nice and deep rumble. Vibrant street power downpipe back. i wanted to get a HKS high power but for the money the vibrant is better and i got it next day :wink: man i tell you what its so nice working on new cars, everything comes out with out any issues, other then Mazda putting the exhaust in there so you either have to cut the stock one off or drop the rear sub frame to get the stocker off. http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b107/2zumeunos/mazdaspeed3/exhaust/IMG_2801.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b107/2zumeunos/mazdaspeed3/exhaust/IMG_2802.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b107/2zumeunos/mazdaspeed3/exhaust/IMG_2803.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b107/2zumeunos/mazdaspeed3/exhaust/IMG_2805.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b107/2zumeunos/mazdaspeed3/exhaust/IMG_2806.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b107/2zumeunos/mazdaspeed3/exhaust/IMG_2809.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b107/2zumeunos/mazdaspeed3/exhaust/IMG_2810.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b107/2zumeunos/mazdaspeed3/exhaust/IMG_2811.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trix-storm Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 good lookin', your stock exhaust is very restrictive it looks like. question though... two mufflers? why not just one? still looks good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if it starts cluttering up your shed, let me know and I'll free up some room for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGGU Posted May 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 Congratulations on your new setup. Can we get sound clips on here?? these are not my videos but heres what it sounds like. the video makes it sound a lil bit different but you get the point. comparison and drive by etc. Ill get some video of my car as soon as it stops raining so bad. I like it alot after driving it all day. not much difference sound wise other then its a bit deeper and a lil bit louder. the think i love about the exhaust is theres no drone on the inside of the car, it sound 100% like stock.

Bam Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 Nice!! I miss my Mazda3s, and it only handled well, I can't imagine the turbo one, would love to have one someday. White = SEX. Any idea on power increases from exhaust? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fist302 Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Sweet! It must be nice to do exhaust on such a new car, i just did headers and a hpipe on a 87 : ( I had rust flakes falling all over me. Sounds good the MS3 has a nice sound for a 4 banger.

Any idea on power increases from exhaust? thanks guys! yea the speed3 has a great sounding tone. Fiji, Ill probably end up selling it now that i think about it. i don't think ill ever need it back because it would be insane to change it out to get a warranty repair and since it had to be cut id need to re weld it back on. As far as the gains they are claiming +8HP and +25 TQ. as tested on Import tuner they saw +12HP and +18 tq. http://www.importtuner.com/powerpages/impp_0811_2008_mazdaspeed_3/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They put an intake and cat back and got something like 35hp and I forget how much torque out of their build car. Not like we need the torque though....hell, even with the ECU controlling boost, 1st is useless and even 2nd spins hard in my car at full throttle. Nice though as I certainly can't say I miss any power or torque having moved on from my LS4 in the GXP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
