Building a Mazdaspeed3: The Best Exhaust, Cobb Catback

[@connor74489]

As a previous Speed3 owner, the straight pipe sounded waaaay better

[@bobaIina]

nah

[@enempodubí]

Yea right? I am watching because I want to get a new exhaust but this doesnt really sound much better then stock lol

[@Xjamiedean]

That snap on 3/8 battery is my go to favorite. I use it everyday all day.

[@mlwrance]

I love how refined it is now. The modified exhaust sound without the shouty "here I am" presence

[@Clamp581]

In regards to around 9:06 when you were having a hard time getting the bolts on, instead of tightening one side then the other, hand thread both before you tighten it and they should both go on without needing to remove any hangars

[@AlphaFlight]

Thanks mom I know

[@es790]

I had a 2009 Mazdaspeed3 and it was my favorite car. Your doing a great job with this one I really enjoy the content.

[@vinnyc7738]

Agreed! I loved my 09 MazdaSpeed3. Sold it back in August and regret the hell out of it. But now I have an 06 hawkeye STI and if any car can replace my speed3, it's this thing

[@jwolfewinz]

Agreed man, love my 08 speed3 . I prefer it to my 17 Giulia TI. 😁

[@marcov9808]

@@vinnyc7738 how does the hawkeye compare? I'm looking for something that's just as exciting as a gen juan

[@vinnyc7738]

@@marcov9808 I had a full bolt on speed3(minus a turbo) and my sti is also full bolt on(minus a turbo). The sti is definitely a lot faster. But they're both so much fun to drive. I do miss the signature torque steer of the speed though. Overall, the STI is a better driving experience. Even with the upgraded suspension on my speed(coilovers front/rear sway bars, lower tie bar) the STI handles a lot better. And the power delivery is extremely smooth, whereas my speed the power hit, and hit hard. But if you're looking for an exciting car to replace the gen Juan, the Hawkeye is definitely a good choice.

[@marcov9808]

@@vinnyc7738 yeah I'm definitely gonna keep the speed though u would love a 2nd car to save mileage on both. I'm waiting to check out the new sti if it's hideous I'm thinking of going current gen sti. The new gr86 is also very appealing

Hey Cam, maybe you can go over the kind of tools you guys have. The brands and why that is. A lot of us are DIY people so it could be rather helpful.

[@B8_ghostt]

It has a Subaru boxer tone to it, I love it

[@LILitaly773]

With my gen 1 I did 3" from the turbo back. It sounded pretty good. Since I have installed equal length headers and CST4 turbo @ 25lbs of boost it got deeper and sounds great. Cam upgrade that k04 turd that would be an amazing give away

[@infadelakainf]

That’s exactly how my Speed6 sounded when I got it. Had to change that straight back to a Magnaflow setup

[@unawakenedque]

I have a 2005 mazda hatchback Sport 2.3L , I wished i had a speed but im grateful to be apart of the mazda family lmao 🤣 btw this my first mazda

[@kreparAZ]

much better boys!

[@Henry14141]

Definitely needs a downpipe now, it sounds quieter than a stock exhaust lol. Still wanna win it though

[@NotJustALineCook]

Damn. Making me want to modify my speed. Mine is black speed gen1 too .. has +200K miles but still going strong.

[@jaeeofficial1542]

damn hows the speed, she still going?

[@SaafeTy]

Sold my 2016 Sti because of a new baby and house but damn bro, watching these videos just makes me miss it more 😔

[@kadenkallander]

was gonna comment where's the downpipe? can't wait to hear it after that install

[@justinhaltom9836]

When you said that was the downpipe under the car that was incorrect, that’s just the downstream cat if you look just upstream of it then you’ll see that there’s and additional flange connecting to the downpipe

[@James-wo3kb]

Thats where the downpipe goes to on these cars, as he stated. all the aftermarket ones I've seen replace the first 2 sections of exhaust with one single pipe. Makes it real fun to thread it through the bottom of the car up to the turbo

[@by_chris]

Is a tune needed for this exhaust, I want this on my car, currently have a stock exhaust setup, I have upgraded hpfp internals

[@CameronAlford]

No, a tune is not required

[@repys7484]

i have an 08 speed had it for a few months and it just started knocking😔 i’m bummed and have to rebuild the whole engine how do it enter?

[@hatchbackconn8972]

Man I wish Mazda would bring these back in a similar model.

Do you need to tune for a catback

[@KyleOfSteel]

Hows the drive on the resonator delete

[@Mainely_speed3]

That is so clean 👌

[@copynpaste_9979]

Did you need a tune for the exhaust?

[@joshuacase8866]

Will a down pipe and a catback replace the whole exhaust? Looking into trying to put together the cheapest turbo back exhaust for my ms3.

[@colerobinson3624]

yes long down pipe wikl replace 1st and 2nd cat and catback will change the resonators and mufflers

[@colerobinson3624]

get hpfp and tune ready before installing downpipe

[@joshuacase8866]

@@colerobinson3624 where can I find a long down pipe? Is that different than just a down pipe? I already have fuel pump internals, intake, and tune. Just need a touch up tune I'm guessing

bro what is the full name detailed of the exhuast? I wanna put it on my mazda 3

[@landlockedentertainment]

will you guys add more sti stickers to the website before the sale ends?

[@colbywilliams9042]

Question? Does yours smoke now? I put a downpipe into racing pipe. Catless and Smokes now. I guess the first genes do. I got a second gene valve cover does it fix the smoke? Just curious if you have had that issue

[@WaifuSilver]

usually depending on the color of the smoke, it indicates blown turbo seals.

[@joe6941]

Cobbs the best sounding exhaust for the gen 1 👍

[@ryandonaldson1275]

Do corksport catback sound good?

[@NEVADAWOLFPACK99]

@@ryandonaldson1275 Corksport catback sounds great. It's just a matter of price point for most people. You have the higher end, more expensive catbacks (I.E. Cobb, Corksport, CP-E, Ultimate Racing, etc) and then you have your mid level priced catbacks such as HKS, TurboXs, or CNT. KZbin videos do an okay job portraying them all.

Is the unequal length headers responsible for that subie rumble sound? It sounds good.

[@TavenPutnins]

yes

[@meimphisto]

Yeah it has UEL headers from factory but that's what makes it special.

[@jackwaggoner4311]

I currently own a 2008 mazdaspeed3 but it’s throwing a p2006 code rn, debating if I should get after market stuff but then I’d have to upgrade hpfp etc, any advice?

[@WaifuSilver]

P2006 is usually caused by a small piece of plastic breaking on the Intake runner flaps. it's supposed to press a linear switch just in front of the HPFP, you can fix it for free by repositioning the switch. If your gonna mod your speed at all HPFP internals should be the first thing you get, its insurance against leaning out and blowing your motor.

[@B1gSc4ry]

I'm just curious how you feel about Speed3 vs the ST you had. I have an ST now.

[@adamg4754]

The factory exhaust on the Mazdaspeed 3 is good up to 400hp so there is really no need to change it out unless your just looking to change the "Sound" and to be honest they all kinda sound the same even with different set ups 🤣 just more quite or more loud but same tone

[@colerobinson3624]

nah catless sounds like a fart
