Here's my install vid. Everything went well except for the fact that you will need to buy bolts to connect borla to mid pipe. The factory bolts are secured to the removed muffler. Come on Borla! I will get more sound clips soon!

I appreciate the hands-on videos. It gives a good perspective.
Thanks! I like hearing that kind of feedback.
Thanks for the install vid and sound clips! Just did the install myself on my ‘15 2.0. Loving the sound and completed look with my other mods. Thank you most for suggesting the hangar pliers, what freaking life saver. Your vids really help in deciding to go Borla. Thanks!
Oooh, I was looking at Magnaflow and Corksport too, but the Borla sounds really good. I have a 15 2.0L manual hatch, I want something with a deep exhaust note that doesn't sound ricey.
I have the exact same car, did you end up going forward with your purchase? how is it?
I ordered the Injen intake and Borla Exhaust last week for my 2012 Mazda 3s GT. since it's pretty much the only performance mods I can do to her bc it's not the MS3. I can't wait to get it and install them. I was going Corksport but I think Borla sounds better.
good job buddy
I agree that Borla sounded better after listening to both multiple times. Good luck with your mods!
If you put 2 nuts on, the bottom but acts as a head since the top won't won't turn. So you wrench the bottom one removing the bolt. It's also a good way to remove bolts with bad heads. Also, if you use a smaller top but than the bigger one, you can use a ratch since the small one won't be grabbed.
Man, your videos are great! Really helps me with my 3 :)
Wow, I just always assumed there was some form of welding involved with installing exhaust systems. Everytime, I ever seen one installed (not this one) - the guy was welding and cutting metal.
Some exhausts are more difficult than others. This was fairly simple with the exception of no included bolts or connecting gasket.
Good video , but this is for Borla what the Fucck Borla you want us to spend big money for your exhaust and you give us zero bolts the fit exhaust, so you have to go to HD to buy bolts. That sucks
Yea I'm with you. If the instructions said how to remove the factory bolts and re-use, thats one thing, but it gave no direction and it was all securely attached and nuts welded on. And the "reusable" gasket isn't working out either. Theres a gap and I am going to add a separate gasket in to try and fix.
The "tin can" comment isn't meant to be derogatory, but it relates to the super lightweight body, which has very little sound dampening. I spent a good bit of money to add sound insulation to the doors to quiet the road noise, which did help.
Bill Thomson Gotcha. Thats good to know you had good results when insulating doors. Thats the only place I have yet to add some but was considering.
Hi I wonder if this thing is will fit on 2018 mazda 3 sport? Its also a 2.0 on mine .
Yeah I guess borla includes hardware now. Just installed this baby today on my 15' Mazda gs and it sounds so fucking good. Nice video subbed.
+Madison Watson Hey man glad to hear you love the sound. I wonder if Borla just forgot to put the extra hardware in with mine. Otherwise it was a huge oversight on their part. Thanks for stopping by!
Where did you buy your exhasut
surprisingly easy install. Good job.
btw you can try some WD40 on the OEM Muffler and get the old nut and bolt off.
ZeroColdx911 Yea i was going to try and get them loose but realized that the nut was fastened down. It would have just gotten me a bolt with no end. I would have had to have nuts on both ends rather than just buying a new bolt. BIG decisions :D.
Filmed horizontally:)
All you gotta do is dremal the small tack welds off the stock exhaust nuts sure its an inconvenience but wouldnt take much time
Did you notice any increase in horsepower or performance from adding the axle back exhaust and the after market intake? I have a 2015 M3 2.0L that I am interested in doing the same mods to. Love your videos! Thanks in advance!
It's really hard to tell to be honest, but I've said it before that I can definitely feel more high end power. I'm currently in the process of testing my intake to see the temperature difference and heat soak results when compared to stock.
So it’s been about a year and a half. How is it treating you? Have you been pulled over?
Still really enjoying the sound of it. It sounds great when going WOT. Haven't been pulled over in more than 6 years now :)
Oh so I wonder if I could do this without a jack and jack stands... I don’t have them but I guess I could try since my car isn’t lowered....
I totally love the car.
Sounds really cool IMO
Any exhaust for 2014-2018 Mazda3 that says reuse the factory bolts is wrong. Same for other similar era Mazda vehicles.
How did you do it by yourself!!! haha. Stupid screws that are stuck on the stock exhaust.
Greg F. Pettus I watched your vid a while back but cant remember if you had screw issue. And yea it wasnt bad to do alone :)
@The Adventure Mazda I see the hatch tail light blinking. Is that a led flashing bulb or did you get an adapter. I love the blinking rate. All others I've came across are too fast. Can I have a resource to buy them please?
The blinking light came from the factory that way. Unfortunately i dont know how to add it for those that it didnt originally come with it.
does one of the mufflers only go half way in the y pipe and the other one goes in half way int the y pipe? is that how it is suppose to me?
So this is the exact system I would like to install. How much on wields and system?
Nice! Does it have droning sound when cruising?
There is definitely drone with this exhaust. Its not terrible but when cruising on the highway its there. Im adding more insulation to help with that.
Any drone?
did the 1.25 end up working im assuming?
Make sure to disconnect battery so computer can reset wit new exhaust...
I didn't even think to do it with an exhaust. It just learned it over time while driving.
I love a good sounding exhaust but these cars are tin cans and I worry about the sound resonating too much into the interior of my 2014 3i Sport sedan. What do you think?
William Thomson Haha if you think your car is like a tin can why did you pick it? The borla has some drone but not bad. I added sound deadening and now its gone. Go for it!
Same exhaust problem with the miata. The entire bolt is supposed to come out, but the nut likes to separate from it.
Tyler Watthanaphand I dont remember having this issue when i upgraded my miata exhaust. What exhaust are you running now? The race is off?
Yes I put the Flyin Miata Hush-o-Matic on, after some issues with the valve rattling, It sounds great. I typically put it in quiet mode, it has a a raspy tone at 3250-5000rpm love it
Tyler Watthanaphand I agree I love the rasp this engine has at the top end.
What's the link for the tool? Thanks.
Do you need the lower bumper with holes for the tips, i have the 2.0 sport with no holes
The hatch has the holes. The sadan is the one without. It's not compatible w the sedan.
@@TheAdventureAuto do they make a kit for the sedan
@@johngentile8561 Yea it's a separate kit where the pipes angle down like from the factory.
@@TheAdventureAuto thank you
does this effect the warranty at all?
Any kind of modification can. I only modify parts of the car that I can easily swap back to stock due to a lot of dealers being stingy with what they cover.
Where's the donut that is supposed to go in between the center pipe and the muffler that is why you have that Gap it's not because of the screws
It didnt come with a donut. Are you referring to a gasket?
Anyone know if the borla would fit in the sedan?? Even with welding the tips down?
Will this exhaust fit on a CX-5 ?
Is that the mazda touchscreen head unit or aftermarket?
It's the factory unit.
So which way does the Y pipe go, upside down or right side up, it's driving me insane lol
Yea it drove me insane too and I concluded that it didnt matter which way it went. I went back and forth and never seemed to figure it out. It would be nice for them to say in the instructions whether it mattered which way it went.
Had the same problem with the y-pipe. It kinda leaves a gap. Something i realized is that the face of the y-pipe that meets whith the mid-pipe is slightly curved and fuel leaks out of it. Still haven't been able to fix it :/
Did you see where I added some sealant around the gap in my pipes? It sealed it right up and has held up really well.
The Adventure Mazda ahh i see. What did u use exactly??
that it isn't fuel my friend...the drop you have noticed are condensed water
@@TheAdventureAuto I just bought this exhaust for my 2018 hatch, what kind of sealant did you use to seal the gap in between the mid pipe and the y pipe?
@@TheAdventureAuto any update? Got the same gap issue don't see any sealant mentioned in the video
Hey man, I enjoy watching your videos. I have a white mazda 3, 17s. And I wanted to know if there's a muffler like this for the sedan models. Ive been looking but it's been hard to find. Pls help me out
Borla doesn't offer one for the sedan but Corksport does. Here are two options for you.
Cat-Back: corksport.com/2014-mazda-3-cat-back-exhaust-sedan-hatchback.html
Axle:Back: corksport.com/2014-mazda3-axle-back-exhaust-sedan.html
Thanks man. I looked everywhere. but I've been having a hard time finding the right fit. I'm still under warranty, so i plan to just buy the Axle back. Thanks again, really appreciate your help
Where can i buy it online and how much does it cost?
Currently it looks like autohance has them for $599. Search online every so often to see if prices change or you find a new seller.
i have by new mazda with 165 hp i have 2,800 km i have sport exhaust but not sport sound some people say i must wait till 5000 km is that right ?please answer
Disconnect your negative battery terminal for 30 minutes to speed up that process. Mine sounded the same from when I first put it on to after having lots of miles.
can i now Disconecting battery for 30 minutes now i have 3000 km thank Man for answer
Disconecting battery for 30 minutes when is car off and wait 30 minutes and back rigt or?
Any gain on the performance?
Nothing noticeable, but im sure there are minor gains from being more free flowing.
I got the Borla Exhaust and the nuts and bolts were included, that's wired 🤔
Well thats good that they got things together. Maybe they saw my vid! :D
Don't forget to subscribe, like, comment, and share! Thanks!!
What is the spoiler you have ?
It was a dealer option as part of a body kit. I opted to just buy the roof spoiler painted to match the rest of the car.
@@TheAdventureAuto ok so that means that mazda dealers sell bodykit for this car? i didn't know that
Is this exhaust available for a 2014 Mazda 6?
Honestly I'm not sure, sorry. There isnt as big of a market for moddifying a Mazda6 so I'd be surprised if they had one available. There has to be something out there for you tho.
👍👍👍👍👍
does this remove your resonator or cat?
No. Its basically just a new rear muffler as it connects to the point right near the rear wheels.
TheAdventureMazda oh so just an axleback? ok thanks i'm trying to find just the exact mufflers to retrofit on my 2017 sedan since borla doesn't offer the exhaust system.
stack gaskets lol
+alex R. Haha cant say Ive never tried that.
Only a novice works under a car with no axle stands !!!
Alan Cooper I had a jack and jack stands. Must not have shown up in the videos.
Dogback>Catback>axelback>brokeback...
Went over my head.
