im thinking about getting a muffler for my mazda 3 sedan. not gettting an exaust b.c i dont have the money for that. im looking to spend under 200 for the part. any suggestions??

 

Why bother? You won't be increasing the size of the exhaust tubing, so you won't be increasing power at all. Why not save up the money so you can get an exhaust system and at least get some benefit from the money spent?

Especially if you look for used....

 

or depending on where you go, if you go to a pipe bender they can bend the pipe all the way back in the same shape as your exhaust and it would sound good and increase the power and add your muffler to that you would be at about 300 doing that, and my recomendation is going from the first cat back

 

eh maybe i will save up the extra 200 or so and get an exaust system..

i saw some youtube videos of f2 those seemed pretty sick. also magnaflow..

any suggestions??

thanks

 

i have a speed, so i havent looked too much into the 3's but for a cheap, good sounding exhaust check out the corksport catback, i like the way it sounds and its a lill bit of a cheap way out...

 

Make your own, way cheaper, better performance and sound.
Go to a performance shop ask for a 2.5 inch exhaust pipe (they come in 8ft "sticks") ($30)
Go to auto zone etc pick up a 2.5 inch in/out glass pack muffler (I have a thrush) ($30)
Go to an exhaust shop have them drop your old exhaust from the cat back and bend your new tube to match that and tell them you want to add the muffler.
-I did mine at Midas (at this point any exhaust/tune up shop will do) and they charged me more because i have dual outlet exhaust and i did mine from the flex pipe back, not the cat back, but they will probably charge you like 150 plus 15 for hangers

--I get great compliments all the time from all kinds of drivers from vettes, to trucks to other 4 bangers about how healthy, clean, and sporty it sounds. below is a video of what mine sounds like. Mind you its on an old digital camera, its windy, so its not a nice video recorder with good sound quality but check it out any way
