    Mazda3 dual exhaust fit on a Mazda5?

    Has anyone installed the dual exhaust (muffler and tips) from a 3 onto a 5? If so, was there any modification required? Can't see spending big bucks for aftermarket when I can get genuine Mazda parts (low-mileage used) for cheap!

    I am not sure if this is the correct forum or not, hopefully I can find the right place if not.
