The Soundtrack to this Video got me GrOOOvin
I ordered mine in the morning they released it. The sound balance is great, which won’t sound loud when you drive normally, but will sound great and loud when you are doing some aggressive driving, which is a good thing. Also, the weight of the exhaust also makes the car a bit lighter, which is another benefit of having this. Having it with their intake would be a great combination. I recommend this to people who wants some aggressive sound, but not too over when doing daily driving.

Great video. I definitely like how you did it. This exhaust sound better than I expected and doesn’t drone as bad. I commute 120 miles a day, this doesn’t seem like it will annoy me crusing at 75 mph. My biggest fear was drone around 2k rpms.
The quality of this video is tremendous. The amount of effort and thought put in dwarfs that of a channel triple its size... well done friend!

Thanks! It takes a lot of time so I can't always make them like this
The only video that does the sound justice
I have a borla axel back on my 2018. Friend convinced me to remove the resonator and it made it much louder. Sounds amazing. I'd say it only "drones" at 75+ 'mph. And cold start is pretty loud lol
Came from reddit, really well put together video nice work!
What a well made video. Everything I needed to make the call.
Can't wait to install it on my Mazda 3 . Mine is a 6 speed manual.

I think some of the low-end growl got lost after uploading to KZread unfortunately. It does sound pretty good in person I think. Not amazing but pretty good.
I love hearing mine❤
Awesome video, great resource. Just bought a Racing Beat exhaust for my 3, will use this to install it.
so it has a muffled side and a straight pipe side...curious how the two balance each other. Your noise will depend on engine load. Going up inclines with cruise control on will change the tone as the engine has to work harder. What would be neat would be to have a valve to direct flow either to the muffler, or to the straight pipe, depending on your mood at the time...Definitely looked well put together...
Yup I'm sold getting one for sure as soon as my warranty drops off, just bought a 2019 used with 24,800 km on her so she pretty fresh still. Great drive though love that car.

In no way will a cat back or axle back void any Warranty
Thank you for this. This is next on the list for my 2019 GS hatchback, but I've no idea what I'm doing. Watching made me way less stressed. Great work. Edit; The Axleback has arrived! Watching this again so I know 100% what to do! 😀😀
Sounds good. I'm waiting for the 80mm because I've got the 2.5T and want to gain some flow to help the JB4 tuner I also purchased. The quality vs price of a Borla, etc can't be beat.

@@bobbygreene5160 It's a band-aid. Effective, but not a real tuning solution. It's a 4psi bump on 93 octane, and it delivers some readily noticeable AWHP and TQ, particularly in the lower RPMs. We're going to need something more advanced to take advantage of the octane in E30 / optimal peak timing to wring out the extra ~30hp/~40tq.

Fantastic video, great and detailed install steps too!
Excellent video and very informative. Seems a bit harsh of a sound for me though. Interesting that the right exhaust essentially isn't muffled at all (so your main sound will come out there) and there is a muffler for the left outlet. Does the muffler for the left bounce around and hit the heat shield at all? It looked like the clearance was pretty tight.
love it when ppl do DIY stuff but 499.99 is a bit too pricey for me especially when there's no performance gains.

I know this comment is old, but corksport full catback and a short ram intake gain +12whp on their dyno. The intake is very minimal gain, a K&N would probably get you almost the same since it's not sucking in hot air like a short ram. The stock exhaust is very restricted for emissions. You can feel the exhaust vibrate even if it's warmed. Seems like it's struggling to push the exhaust gases at low RPM because the diameter is so small. Plus you get a nice sound, it's unique from all the other NA inline 4 due to its big bore long stroke and high compression.
Installed mine on my hatchback to this video goodlooks bro
Great video and Awsome content. Subscribed, liked and hit the bell icon. ;) Dude I am glad I found you. If I am not wrong you had started a Facebook page for Mazda3 grey sedans. I am part of it. I recognized you when I saw your license plate. Glad to connect. I have a 2020 Mazda3 grey sedan as well. I would like to take your advice on a couple things. Thanks again for these Awsome tutorials.
felt like I needed to put on my glasses to watch this video with the sunlight coming in your windows XD
Did you lose low end torque? Usually you do when your change from OEM muffler.

Update: Just installed the Corksport axle-back, it does sound good, nice deep cold start, not ricey on acceleration, and very low to no drone in the cabin. I did have rear passengers for the shakedown ride, they did have slight drone in the back seats, SGT sedan. I played with the flange mount to get it as flush as possible to the mid-pipe. Maybe a flange gasket, not donut, will even out that very little gap. Did soapy water leak test on the flange, no bubbles. Corksport does have a header for manual models only. At this point, I don't need it. The short ram, cold air box and this axle-back is all I need, looking for cams next.
You should do a resonator delete this way you could hear like the little pops and stuff
Now imagine this paired with an intake 😍

Depends on your country but in general it should not void your powertrain warranty. If you live in the US, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act provides protection against manufacturers refusing repairs unless they can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that your modification was the cause of the issue.
awesome. any chance you have some footage of the exhaust mounted?
Would this custom exhaust fit for a mazda3 Gt 2021? With the sky active engine.
Are these legal in California? Is it below the sound limit? Please someone has to know….. I want this shit lmao
When will you guys release the 80mm cat for the gen 4?
Whens the catback coming for the 19 hatch?
My state cracked down too hard on aftermarket exhausts. Sounds good though. Before anyone asks, I get why - people take shit way too far.
Not bad, currently got a resonator delete on my 3 BP and plans to get a straight cat-back with muffler delete next week.
What size ratchet and torque wrench did you use in this video? And what size do you recommend for basic/intermediate car projects, 1/4 3/8 or 1/2 Id appreciate the help Thank you
