    Question Just got Mazda 3 2012 GX, but no exhaust tip

    Hello everyone,

    It doesn`t come with an exhaust tip, just the pipe, which looks ugly.
    I was just wondering if you guys know the standard exhaust size and where I can get a exhaust tip modification.

    Thanks!

    GX isn't cool enough to have a shiny exhaust tip

    You can buy a mazda2 accessory exhaust tip. It's $20~ from the dealer and fits perfectly (do a search a few people here have one).

    the first 2010 gx had it, then i think a few months after the revision. then they took it off. there was a memo of all the changes at that time. the exhaust tip was one and something about the steering wheel lower spoke length.

    slide on and there are 2/3 screws that you tighten to hold it in place.

    Just go to your local Exhaust shop.

    If you are in the GTA i reccomend Zorro's in Mississauga, they will have many exhaust tips to choose from. You can get a good double walled tip for around 40 and they will charge anywhere between 15-30 to weld it on.

    cheap mod, but looks nice. Probably would look nicer then the stock tip anyways!

    +1. I'd recommend them as well for any exhaust-related work near Mississauga/Etobicoke
