Welcome to the forum! (2thumbs)

There's lots of awesome ideas floating around here and in fact I saw a couple threads recently talking about modding ideas for another new member: http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123810013-new-mazda and http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123810198-2012-mazda-3-section

Thanks willd
And infamouszoltan i dont have a way to get pics up haha but on another note do you guys have any ideas for an exhaust?

 

[Cleverfrog]

Welcome!

A MS3 exhaust that someone has taken off. Or maybe you can find one in good condition at a junk yard. That would be a pretty cheap route.

 

[Tmazda3]

do people ever sell their old jdm exhaust on here?

 

[infamouszoltan]

lots of people sell there exhaust. Personally i am going to get a COBB mazdaspeed exhaust, but a lot of people seem to like the MS3 exhaust

 

[Tmazda3]

Yea i looked into getting a MS3 exhaust but then i thought if im going to put money into an exhaust why not get a good one. Im leaning more toward Borla or HKS.

 

[infamouszoltan]

I heard one person liked a borla heard nothing about hks

 

[Tmazda3]

I heard borla is good but in a way I want to go with hks just in case I decide to go with a turbo kit somewhere down the road. But yet a hks hi power is so expensive.

 

[infamouszoltan]

Yeah exhaust for or cars are dumb expensive from what I've seen

 

[Tmazda3]

Yea the borla is like 550ish and the HKS is like 750 and thats both without shipping.

Price is kinda steering me away for exhaust as an option. >.>

 

[Tmazda3]

yea but its something that is eventually going to have to be done so why not do it first? plus its an easy install.

 

[Squared]

Why does it have to be done? I say keep it until you find the perfect one you like. You might now like it a week or 2 after you get it.

 

[Tmazda3]

I mean exhaust was kind of my first mod i wanted to make. Plus i really dont know what other mods i could make.

 

[mazda3sborla]

Look on craigslist I got a Borla Exhaust and race pipe for $60 score one for the home team probably a one off but still you can always find deals on there!

Under the hood? A new intake can yield gains, and headers, pricey but effective. I hear talk of motor mounts helping a lot.
