I'm looking at upgrading the exhaust on my 2013 mz3 gt sport. I'm a newbie to the mod world so I was hoping to get some feedback on which brand to go with. I don't want anything too loud. I'm looking for a deep clean sound. Any suggestions? Thanks!

if your not looking to shell out tons of coin a used speed 3 one sounds very nice and is not super load ususally around $400 or so.

You might also want to do some research before you upgrade anything just in case. http://www.torontomazda3.ca/forum/showthread.php?67093-Does-the-MazdaSpeed-3-CBE-Cause-Issues-with-*cough*-Performance

I have the speed exhaust and i haven't noticed any super difference when driving. Pretty much the same just sounds nicer. Not too loud and ricey which is not what I wanted.

And it still rusted. Looks like there was no point to painting it.

its was painted with canadian tire canned ceramic paint. lol i am surprised it has lasted this long, as it wasn ot painted hot like it said to do, or cooked in an oven. its going to get one more coat this year, try it once its warmed up. if it comes off again which im sure it will. no biggy.

Since the OEM Speed3 exhaust is a dual exit, how do you plug off the 2nd tailpipe?
