The Official Mazdaspeed3 Exhaust Thread.

[Saskatchewan17]

I searched and searched but really didn't find a thread quite like this that was MS3 specific. I always find myself comparing exhausts on youtube to see which one I like best... problem is... I can never find the link or vid to the setup I want! For example... I love the sound of the Magnaflow exhaust for the MS3, but can't find a vid of it with a DP/TP! I know a lot of you out there have different exhaust set ups and could probably help me and many others in the search for the perfect sounding exhaust. Whether it be grumbly and deep, loud and gurgly, smooth and quiet, or whathave you! Please help me out by posting vids of your exhaust and I'll try to organize them here in this post! Remember that these can include the stock CBE/DP/TP too in any combination (exp: DP/TP with stock CBE). Also, if you'd like, include details on the exhaust (drone? when? ease of install? overall satisfaction?). Thanks for your help in the search for the perfect exhaust!
I'll try breaking it up by exhaust component:

Here's mine:

Stock DP
eBay Catless TP
Mazdaspeed CBE

I am very satisfied. It sounds awesome. Very deep, almost Subie-like, and freaking loud as hell at WOT or in tunnels. Not really any drone at all, and it is fairly subdued cruising on the freeway. The only problem, is sometimes its a bit loud for me...

Installation: Very simple
Impressions: Added low grumble, didn't get much louder which I like.





I now have a Cobb CBE added to the mix, but haven't put together a video yet.
