Already on!
Come by and take a listen.
Have to order the system in for you.
Parts and labour $761.76 taxes in TM3 price. You stock system has to be hacked up.

Yup, the original cat is still used .
I believe the price for the system alone is 550+tax , so technically hes not paying 150 for install .
Got my vibrant installed at L & G Auto for 50 $$
FS , how you liking it ?

Well I heard it in the shop and it sounded sweet. The $150 is for labor for you guys mainly b/c the job is set at 1.5 hours. Our labor rate is $98 less 10% for TM3 peeps.
I got a long drive home.;)

ummm, Do you think he actually paid full retail for this exhuast??? He works in the Parts department:D
When I did my stint at a ford dealer, I paid cost on all parts.

So do you feel any gain in HP? or was it $700 for sound?

The car does pick up faster b/c of the resonator removal.

Ive been thinking about adding the Mazdaspeed exhaust in the summer, anyone know if this will increase my insurance? It is a mod, however still a Mazda part. Whats the HP gain?

No HP figures yet but it does pick up faster. I didn\'t tell my insurance company.;)

Joe,
How does it sound at highway speeds? Do you get an annoying droning sound?

Don\'t tell them, they will never know. If something were to happen to your car and the exhaust had to fixed, you would have much bigger problems to worry about.

It\'s almost like telling them that you\'re planning on speeding and driving recklessly.:p

i\'d love to hear a sound clip or see a video of this exhaust of a Mazda 3 with this Mazdaspeed part with/without CAI. Most manufacturers such as Borla and Flowmaster have \'em on their sites.
