I got a 2.3L 2008 mazda 3 hatchback with just a second cat delete, still have muffler and resonator, should make a video on the sound level since there's nothing out there 🤔
Just bought a 2007 mazda3 sport sedan with 57k miles. I’ll be sure coming back to this channel as I start my mod progress! Thanks for having so much info on the Mazda 3
i have a 2005 mazda 3 1.6 and i switched the resonator with a steel pipe and switched the muffler with one from ulter sport and i think it sounds absolut amazing. got some pops too just by switching the resonator with a steel pipe
I ended up doing a Resonator and Muffler delete, then straight piped it. Love the sound a lot. Edit: My car is a 2009 Mazda 3 S Grand Touring Hatchback
I wish this video was made before I did my resonator delete paired with a muffler delete. If I were to do it over I would do 2nd cat and muffler delete with a high flow resonator
Had a 2006 2.0 hatch before I got my Speed3. Removed everything behind the cat and replaced with steel pipe. Cannot describe how loud that car was. Pretty quiet on start ups but ear melting while driving.
Well good thing I already chose that for mine before i even watched the vid😂 I even went a step further and cut out the Dual pipe for my 2.5 duratec/MZR 3s to make a single pipe with a single cat and in my case i swapped the resonator out for a magnaflow res. Sounds almost identical to an iNvidia equipped WRXSTI with equal length headers😂 nice and low, bassy sound with a hint of burble to it😊 Edit: and no Mufflers on my 3s too...
2007 Mazda Axela 2.0L. secondary cat delete, muffler delete, and 2 high flow resonators leading to X-force exhaust tip. one of the best for sure! have a shorts on account if you guys wanna see ! 🤙🏽
Hey Colton can you explain in another video what the fuel economy is after the deletes? Doesn’t it effect it in someway? The cats keep dangerous fumes out. Maybe instead of deleting, replacing the exhaust system with better parts seems more viable
I was boutta buy that MZ3 shirt too but brother what is that text at the bottom did you read it beforehand 😅 i'll cop the next drop i guess, GL with the brand! hyped for it i hope it helps to support the channel
Impo I would just go with the Corksport Performance Catback exhaust system with their Racepipe option and it deletes the 2nd cat and doesn’t throw any Check Engine codes. For either the MZR or Skyactiv Engines. For $750 I personally think it sounds the best sound, not too loud & obnoxious just mild tone and perfect note for a daily commuter. I just bought one and had my local shop put it on for $200 bc I don’t have the tools to do the job myself. Mine is paired with a K&N SRI with heat shield since Corksport doesn’t have one and I personally didn’t want to just suck in hot air. The K&N intake did give my car an extra 5.5-6HP increase on my NA 2.0 MZR 2011 BL1 Sedan and a couple MPG’s so with this setup it sounds just perfect for me
i have a mazda 3 speed 2011 2.5L hatchback myself and i’m looking for a more deeper and louder sound without all that raspy noise in with it ,what setup would recommend?
i was debating on doing that or the cat back exhaust from corksport but i feel like the delete setup might be cheaper but trumpety, so i’m stuck in between both
hey colton, thank you for the guide :) I removed the muffler on my mazda 3 2.0 2014, and it has a heavier drone while decelerating on 3000rpm, or accelerating around 3400rpm. It also drones around 1900rpm and goes away 2000rpm and above. Is there any way to reduce it? With open windows its not a major issue, but having all windows closed the car drone is heavy for me.
I think anything going louder will introduce some sort of drone, you could try replacing the pipe you used for the muffler delete with a resonator, or even change to an aftermarket performance muffler!
Greatt video my guy! I just got a new/used magnaflow exhaust. It cam with no resonator and it looks like the original pipe (look like it came new like this). Does it do some rasp? Yes, but it didn’t when I rev the car. It does a sound like something not torque out there, when im at like 2.1/4 rpm. Just want to know if it’s normal or something just « ringing » at the cat section.
@@ColtonRichter oops sorry about the spelling😭 but it’s very loud. What’s a good microphone to record sound, I don’t really like to record on iPhones because of the sound quality, it just picks up every bit of sound especially wind.
I live in the states to having a cat is required to pass state emissions regulations. However, looks like my cat has gone bad and id have to replace it for $1000+ unfortunately. I thought there is only 1 catalytic converter for a 2007 Mazda 3. You kept referring to “second cat” which made me confused, how many cats are there for a 2007 Mazda 3?
Has it been replaced or re-positioned? Normally they run on a track, and there's a few screws holding it in place. Use these screw to make minor adjustments. I say minor because you can make it worse easily.
I did a muffler delete and im welding a 2.5" 304 pipe after silencer 2. would anyone want me to make a video of the sound i get from the completed job?
It be a muffler delete for me I think. The cat we need for mot regulations. Muffler delete gives a deeper tone without being obnoxiously loud. Again, one of our mot regulations 🙄
Another great video! My Mazda 3 is a BL (2ed Gen) with the Skyactiv 2.0 engine, which sounds a little different from the MZR engines. I did a muffler delete on mine and left everything else, and I believe that it's the perfect exhaust setup for my car. Just loud enough to enjoy with a wonderful tone, and some occasional pops to keep it exciting. But it's not obnoxious at the same time, with minimal drone so it's comfortable enough to live with and it doesn't wake up the neighborhood. I have a full video with sound clips on my channel that I'm linking here for anyone interested. BTW letting you know that I bought your Certified Tee and a couple of stickers and I absolutely love them. Keep it real🤟. ruclips.net/video/pQjG1NLrHts/видео.html
Damn, my bro summed up all I need to know about exhaust. Plus he showed actual sounds and gave honest opinions. Thanks Colton, U da best!
You know how we do it around here!

Make a vid!
Make a video plz
for any box deletes do you replace it with pipe? im new when its comes to exhausts. i can build a engine but dont know this lol
where’s that video man
Bro we need this guide for other cars as well this was a very informative video
Thanks!
best mazda 3 vid out rn lol keep this up man
Cheers! ✌🏻
I did the bottom out at 160 kmh trick, works great👍🏽

Dang low key love the sound of the second cat and muffler delete, might have to consider that someday, thanks for this breakdown!
The best custom exhaust!
I’ve had the secondary cat and muffler delete for years and it sound good for a stock exhaust setup
Such a good sound 😮💨
You could also replace the stock resonator with a vibrant resonator would sound good as well plus a muffler delete.
Good tip!
I wish this video was made before I did my resonator delete paired with a muffler delete. If I were to do it over I would do 2nd cat and muffler delete with a high flow resonator

Aight, time to take out the muffler on my Mazda 5. Yes a 5
Same thing

Nice 😮💨
My 2007 mazda 3 has a straight pipe mainly because the cat had an exhaust leak so i cut it off and it isnt very raspy , more growly for me
Glad you like it 🤙🏻
Awesome content again! 😊
Thanks Jerry!

Yes if you'd like to go the option of replacing it with other parts you're welcome to do that :)
New CR video? Never clicked so fast lol love your videos man!
Every Sunday morning!
i personally have res and muffler delete and i love it
it’s only bc i need emissions
@@HiMyNameisHunteris it more deeper or is it more of a trumpety noise?
Fair ✌🏻
@@RRDaro it makes it more deeper and i put an aftermarket tip on end so it muffles the rasp
@@RRDaro i used to rock just a muffler delete but it wasn’t deep and loud like i wanted so i cut the res and added a bigger tip and it sounds amazing
I was boutta buy that MZ3 shirt too but brother what is that text at the bottom did you read it beforehand 😅 i'll cop the next drop i guess, GL with the brand! hyped for it i hope it helps to support the channel
bro i typed it with my own hands 😂
Hmm I think I'm gonna go with muffler delete. Not trying to be obnoxiously loud, but just louder than stock
It's a good start!
Damn I wish we had that 2nd cat delete clip
Need someone to do it!
Will removing the muffler cause back pressure/torque problems??
From my experience I have had no issues
Impo I would just go with the Corksport Performance Catback exhaust system with their Racepipe option and it deletes the 2nd cat and doesn’t throw any Check Engine codes.

I've loved mine and never would change it up!
@@ColtonRichter same here
Do you know what we would need for pipping and angle for the second cat. And muffler delete ? If anyone know would save me time haha
I think it's 2.25 inch
Ever try any different in pipe size? I think Corksport uses a 2.25 inch pipe.
No might as well buy a catback at that point haha
These will all work on 2010 Mazda 3 sedan 2.0L GX right?
Yup!
i have a mazda 3 speed 2011 2.5L hatchback myself and i’m looking for a more deeper and louder sound without all that raspy noise in with it ,what setup would recommend?
Muffler delete or if you want really loud then 2nd cat & muffler delete!

i got a muffler delete on my 2004 sedan. can I do the 2nd cat delete now? Or is it too late as there's a pipe there
Do it!
@@ColtonRichter Sweet! Is it legal noise?

Magnaflow has a god sounding exhaust for the Mazda 3! Ringing could just be exhaust leak or maybe loose insides
@@ColtonRichteryess ! Thank you colton! I believe it’s the problem too.
what about a 1.6 liter mazda 3? is it going to sound good with these setups?
It might sound a bit more raspy due to being smaller, so consider that with whatever you decide to do.
Would this work on a 2011 Mazda 3 i 2.0 ???
Yes
Catless downpipe no res no muffler on a Mazda 6i 2005 hb 2.3l on base map tune atm by drtuned. Should i make a video if how it sounds?
That's probably crazy loud!

I thought there is only 1 catalytic converter for a 2007 Mazda 3. You kept referring to “second cat” which made me confused, how many cats are there for a 2007 Mazda 3?
1st cat on the exhaust manifold and 2nd cat at the bottom. It could be different per location.
Will cutting the 2nd mess up the engine? Ive heard people saying that without it the car wont idle right?
No, I've ran mine without a second for over 8 years.
Does the diagram apply to my 2010 Mazda 3 s Hatchback? Its my first car and I’m new to the whole car scene so idk what the liters mean😖
Yes it should be relatively the same.
Does all second gen have remote central locking? For some reason I have to use the key in the door and it is so annoying
I'm not sure about base models
Question can we reset a sunroof on a 2010 mazda3 and if yes can you make a video cuzz mine flip but not slide and dont want to close back
Has it been replaced or re-positioned?
Normally they run on a track, and there's a few screws holding it in place. Use these screw to make minor adjustments. I say minor because you can make it worse easily.

Sheeeesh 🔥
Hey bruhh, my car is 2006 sedan Mazda 3 max sports and it’s muffler delete, I need the pop sound similar to tuning ones, what is the best option
Delete the whole exhaust lol
Is it the same exhaust system for a 2011 mazda 3 hatchback?
Yes it is similar
I made the mistake when I had a mazda 3 and got rid of the muffler and rez hahaha
😭😭😭
can i do this on my 2013 mazda 3 hatchback?
Yes
Would it be similar with a 2015 mazda3?
Same idea, but sound will be a bit different.
idk who else feels this way but I don't like loud at all, i want a deep low rumble
Fair enough!
❤❤❤
🙌🏻

Yes, a nice little upgrade!
2010 mazda 3 2.5 duel resinstor delete best money spent crankles like a mfer downshifting
Nice!
What if i run a res delete with a glasspack muffler?
I think there's a few videos a long the lines of that setup on RUclips
I should have watched this video before deleting my resonator (i deleted just 30 mins ago)my 100 dollars 😭
😭😭😭
