Will stock Mazdaspeed3 exhaust fit on '5'?

[DayOh257]

I saw someone selling one cheap. Anyone running this set-up? Is it a straight swap?

 

[StealthWyvern]

I think Ken at PG did this...

It is not a direct swap. Ken's car required a lot of cutting and welding to get it to fit. It would have been easier to make a custom exhaust.

Don't forget the extra length in the wheelbase. it will be a cut and weld job no matter what.

It's not a matter of how long the exhaust is, it's just the same pattern in the middle. It's easy to make it fit, 2 hrs. job for professional welders. I did it and it sounds awesome believe me

PS: I have the Mazdaspeed accessories exhaust for the Mazda 3. It's the same pattern that the Speed3 , but the diameter is a bit smaller.

Thanks all. Just to reiterate, this is the stock OEM exhaust from the 07 Speed3.

Venom, any issues with emissions/DEQ stuff?

any issues with emissions/DEQ stuff?

Not if you keep the cat and the sensor, plus it does not leak. I don't think there should be a problem, just don't modify it and keep it stock and you'll pass EPA stuff no problem.

Peace!(rei)
