Doing some exhaust searches and need some help, what's a good exhaust for the first gen Mazda 3 GT sedans?
Personally love the sound of the Borla exhaustsQuote:

I have heard that Corkscrew is a good one?
Any recommendations for 2014 and Newer Catback exhaust ideas or brands for the GT Hatchback with the 2.5 ?
I am assuming you mean Corksport ?Quote:

I have a racing beat, its a quieter than an corksport and doesn't drone like corksport at cruising speeds and it sounds excellent in my opinion when you give it the beans.
Corksport is around $800 for the Catback from the USA.Quote:

I've seen borla from 640 - 800 and magnaflow for 700-800 & racing beat is the cheapest one out of the 3 which is around 400 -580Quote:

They're GT tailights too lol, pretty exp to replace, might check out some wreckers for a bargain.
I also vouch for CarID, lots of options, mainly US and Euro brands, Magnaflow, Borla, etc. Shipping to Canada can be pricey depedning on the item though. I'd recommend just adding to cart and calculate shipping before you check out (just to be safe).
Besides that, there's also Nengun which I recommend for JDM brands. They also got a platform on the website where you can buy used parts. They ship worldwide as well.
On a side note, have you considered a MS3 exhaust for your 3? It sounds pretty good, not too loud, but brutal still.
Borla seems the way to go, but I am still on the fence about Turbo-Charging my Mazda3 2014 down the road. I mean I bet they will come out with a AWD version soon.
I'm not confident that they will come out with an AWD 3...it would defeat the purpose of having a CX3 on the marketQuote:

This is what convinced me to grab the accessory speed cbe

I think this may be an accessory cbe for the 2.3 as its supposed to be a 3" tailpipe, off a stock speed i believe its 4"
Gen 3 Mazda 2014 GT... should I go with Borla or Cork sport?

I have these 2 videos to go off of.
What are your opinions?
Borla all the way!
I suggest going with either Crok-sport and Bro-la since they add 15% / 20 HP.Quote:

I agree! Sounds much deeperQuote:

Did you get/install your exhaust and do you like it?? I put a a magnaflow cat back on my 13 I liked it at first but now after a few weeks I can't stand it wish I didn't throw my stock exhaust away now i'm looking for a stock used gen 2 2.5L exhaust which seems impossible to find.
Nah it's gonna be fine trust me!! You'll love the way it is overall and it'll want you to do more mods to ur cars hahaQuote:

How'd you get ur Mazda to 200 hp??!!Quote:
