Ya i am definately not expecting to sound like a mustang but it is good to hear that it wont sound like ****

 

i have no complains with mine. its loud, but not obnoxiously loud.
its gets twice as loud when you add a header tho lol

and fyi, a header and full catback yeild somewhere around 20whp on a mazda3.

 

Also, Would ust a performance muffler give me any power?

 

maybe 1 hp... maybe
it will most likely just give youa nicer sound, but imo, full catbacks sound the best...

and as for myself, ive decided to keep my magnaflow a bit longer, and just remove the resonator all together lol.
this outta be fun

 

ya i figured that it wouldnt much, if anything. That sounds like a pretty good plan with your magnaflow, do you think removing the resonator will add that much power?

 

it wont add any power at all.... but it will make the exhaust louder, and maybe even a but more raspy....
but it will most likely just be for short time.....
i tihnk i might invest in a new catback when i get back from winter vacation....

 

taking off the heavy resonator is a pretty decent way to save weight...

 

i bought that tsudo exhaust from ebay. its crap. first, it murdered my horsepower like my mazda 3 is dragging ***. what i can usually get away with third gear now i have to do with 2nd. it will take some time and effort to get to 80 mph. 0-60 is okay but nothing impressive. secondly, it does sound like crap. what itsounds like is a broken muffler when youre going uphill...while towing a trailer.....filled with half a ton of bricks.....and thirdly, my mi/gal is down from 27 to 24. this is actually the main reason why i bought it in the first place. now im just waiting for some good weather and im gonna re-install my factory exhaust. all i need now is what to tell my wife what that long shiny metal pipe is thats hanging in my shop in the basement.i just realized that for a daily driver, the factory exhaust is the best. my neighbors will be happy
