Hello guys, I was just wondering what kind of exhaust, you would recommend to put on a 2004 Mazda3 Sedan to get the kind of sporty/street racing sound. I want to install one onto my care, but I don't want to spend my money and then not like the sound of it. So if you could, post what kind of exhaust you would put on it, and try to give me a link to where I could hear what it would sound like.

look on youtube, there are a bunch of exhaust vids for the 3

 

i didnt want to spend all the money either so i did some research and ended up doing like half of a straight pipe. I took it to my local shop and they literally just removed my muffler and replaced it with piping with the same stock tip. i still have the res and cat so its not ear bleeding loud. its perfect. I love the sound of it and i got it done for 100 bucks. (pretty cheap IMO) if you want i can take a vid and post it or pics to show you how it was completed

 

I would like to hear it on a vid

 

if i cant make a vid of it theres a few on youtube. this isnt mine but its exactly what i did. YouTube - Mazda 3 muffler delete it gives it a bit of a more throaty sound but its not to loud

 

The video sound quality isn't great so i can't tell if i really like it or not. Does it sounds rivet at all? I don't want that weed eater/fart sound that all the hondas have when you cut off the muffler

 

did you listen to the whole video? cuz he goes to the outside during the second half. just making sure you did that.. and i dont think i can make a video sorry. the only way i could would be with my phone and my guess is it would be the same crappy quality. just search on youtube "mazda 3 muffler delete" or "mazda 3 straight pipe" plus its only about 100 bucks to do so i thought why not. i personally like the sound and people that ride with me doesnt say its ricey or sounds like a dirtbike or fartcan. they like it. its more of a rumble

 

alright thanks and im still trying to deside if i wanna do it or not i got a couple quots and the lowest i found was $60 from CARX

can you put up a pic of yours im just curious as to what it looks like and how long the pipe is and if there is any bending required. thanks

 

sorry its not the best of pictures. i took it at night as when thats the only time im home. but i took it to my local shop (PurPerformance) and the guy said it would be a little tricky trying to twist a pipe so it works but he said it was do-able.. it cost me around 110 bucks. (90 for labor, 20 for parts). But i hope this helps. need anything else just ask

 

how big as the peice they added? also it probably different i just noticed you have an 09 mines an 06
