Hey guys, I have a sunlight silver 04 mazda3 hatchback, obviously w/ the 2.3L engine. I really want to get a deep, aggressive tone, but I don't know where to start. I'd love to just get the MS3 catback exhaust but I don't have the $500+ to drop for it I've thought about getting a "fart can" muffler (I like the sound of them as long as they aint on a real POS) but I really don't wanna be called a ricer.

Any suggestions for a good muffler or anything that is CHEAP and can be installed easily? I'm a college student w/ a low paying job who is obsessed with his car.

A guy told me one thing to do is to get a high flow catalytic converter but I don't know where to start? I also thought about getting a CherryBomb glasspack or maybe their new Vortex muffler.

If anybody could give me some advice/tips/ideas on a good muffler, cat, muffler/cat combo, or anything they would be greatly appreciated

 

i got a friend at midas, he got me a high flow cat for $70. and i bought a nice stainless steel muffler w/ 4" tip off ebay for $7. i think it was like 20 for shipping. it sounds real low and good.

 

what kind of muffler was it? was it a chambered muffler or was it one of the round free flowing mufflers you can see through?

also, Have you heard anything about mazda 3's having two cats?

thanks for help!

 

its a stainless 2" in and 4" out see through muffler. my 04 mazda3 5dr does not have 2 cats, however it does have a resinator that looks like a cat but its hollow. it helps make the deep sound so i left it on.
