Thread: your opinion?

ok, so i will be putting an exhaust on the mazda in a few weeks (just sold my other car and get my 3 week pay check in a week so yea...)

many of the exhausts i have heard are quite loud and raspy for the mazda3. i don't want to spend a fortune on multiple magnaflow resonators so i am thinking of useing a large res (only 1) and a chambered flowmaster (dont hate........best sounding one i have heard thus far) flowmaster on a 3


my question is this, being that they are not a straight threw design do these produce power robbing back pressure? i would really like to use a flowmaster 50 series because it is designed to keep interior noise to a bare minimum. and the chambered muffler is designed to kill raspyness. this isnt "common practice" so there isnt much info out there for chambered mufflers on 4 bangers.

you know what that sounds really good....i want to do the sam ewith my 3....let me know what you end up doing/buying for the exhaust.....do you know if putting anm exhast voids my warrenty since mine was BRAND new?

i have no clue about your warrenty question. however if you keep your old exhaust and swap it back out you should be ok.

Yeah any performance mod will void your warrenty. Unless you keep the stock one and swap it in and out everytime you go to the dealer. Check if mazdaspeed has a exhaust. Mazdaspeed parts put by the dealer won't void it.

i think that exhaust sounds pretty good

^ I do to. Sounds real good. No raspy FTW!

I wonder how would it sound at WOT with the Flowmasters and this

what isthat?

CIA i belive
