yup sir. Pinagawa ko sa suking muffler-shop bro. Elbow tubing at bagong 2 pcs. na muffler tip para pantay ang design/size/diameter. May naka-abang na 'welded-hole' sa stock resonator (lef side portion), kaya simpleng-simpleng add-on lang kung tight ang budget (like me).

See you all on the road. Pot-pot!

Thank you sir travajante! I always read the forums because of you sir. Thank you so much for the guidance to our fellow Mown3rs! Godbless!

The lil secret I found long ago-true joy can only be had in sharing & giving......But, gotta warn you not to believe all the crap & the bull I might subconsciously be saying, rappp sir! The other Mown3r brothahs on here are more credible!:D

In modding, there's nothing more fulfilling than DIY!!!!
Grats on the awesome work!

So you're among us, hobo mutants, eh?:D
Great job....did you remove the left butt plug & make it functional? Or is that extra tip just for show, sir?
Glad you followed thru the mod I left undone....

I'm guessing he made it functional...

Thank you very much master travajante. Sir justdiy is correct, I made it functional and coated/painted the whole resonator to prevent rust from creeping on the welded spots.

for DIY enthusiasts like me, ito po ung ginamit kong pang spray:



happy DIY!

Nice sir! Yang muffler tip at yung antenna ang mga naghohold back sakin sa pagkuha ng hatch, though mas prefer ko naman talaga ang sedan.

Both body types are equally appealing anyway. Sadly, I can't say the same for all the other makes out there.
Even Mazda's very own M6Wagon looks a bit off & lost in the kodo brood....together w/ the BT50. Dunno if anyone agrees.:D

I agree with the BT50. M6Wagon still cool for me though. Hehe.

Question: Did you buy your Mazda3 hatch because of utility or just because you liked the looks of it?

I've never been a sedan guy. All of ours are buttless, justdiy sir. Love the boot space, hate the negative pressure arse dust.:D

Bow & salute. Hobo you maybe, but you mod the right & proper way, plainBlack sir.
This awesome work in progress is just the beginning, I can see.....what's next?:D

Return salute Master!

I'm planning/saving up for this:



and a set of these: 5 pcs scrub plates (to avoid deep scratches)

You can get Ultra Racing Strutbar for sub Php5k. So saving won't take that long. It's more bling than function tho. But if you wanna get better handling, more bang for buck & reduce understeer, get the beefier Rear Sway Bar.

Personally, I'd prefer Xpel or 3M clear bra invisible scratch/rock chip protection over scuff plates & decals. Just me tho.

Isn't it supposed to reduce chassis-flex especially to MacPherson strutted cars like the Mz3? I had 3 (UR front and Ralliart upper rear and lower rears) in my Lancer before and it improves handling and control noticeably. Of course stiffer rollbars also helps. For P5k that UR is cheap, I remember when it was first sold 7 years ago, it cost P7-9k.

No master, just your hobo doorman anytiM3, sir.
PM'd you Ultra Racing contacts.
Get hold of our brothah, Manskee. He'll point you to both Ultra Racing & XPel.

I've never really been a fan of those pricey, blingy, LED lit scuff plates that you end up worrying about getting scratches on. I'm more into simple hobo function....& you know what has worked decades for me? This cheap, tuff, reliable, all biz, zero fancy 3M product....It really works w/o worries!:D
