    Pre-Silencer Delete

    I think were taking about the same thing but im referring to the "pre-silencer" in the diagram of the AWD exhaust system. Is that what youre referring too when you say "resonator".. Mazda CX-5 Service & Repair Manual - Exhaust System - Exhaust & Emissions

    2017~2025 How much abuse can the CX-5 take?

    I bought some 18" cx 30 rims and installed some 235/60/18 tires. Their .4"s taller and wider then the 19" wheels found on the GT and up models. There smoother, offer more ground clearance/roll over then the 17"ers and i haven't noticed any minuses otherwise so far.
