2014 Mazda 3

[travajante]

Sir travajante, what exhaust do you personally recommend based on these three things:

A) Price
B) Availability
C) Ease of getting one/delivery

The criteria you laid are quite a challenge to satisfy together. The 3rd made the most w/ the help of our customs.
That said, try to get Racing Beat Axleback. Quality fit & finish. Deep, no-drone tone. No bumper burn issues. Though numerically insignificant, the Dyno-proven gains are usually exponentially magnified by the mind. An imagined v6.
US-Made * sub$500=value every hobo would wish for.
Now, if only these won't need shipping....tsk tsk tsk.

Thanks sir travs! Although I'll likely wait till yojin 3 expires. Maybe by then we'll have a friendlier customs or a local shop has it available

Too much gap brah It screams "lower me now!!"

You had to say it, brah. Haha.....30s & lows are a disastrous combo. Anyone dare? Haha.

AnytiM3 brah, don't worry too much about axleback exhausts. They affect nothing, not even yojin, but the sound & looks.

On local shops, let's await His Majesty's (Hot Hatch) review of his exhaust project.

Some club members have it, seen and heard it, looks and sounds good. I will share review, photos, videos here on mine. =)

Yes, we've had glimpses, but we know your review, your majesty,.....will be thorough, blunt, truthful & technical.....looking forward.

Another option is to check Hot Hatch's option & get that local shop to follow how HKS does theirs here.

Good day mown3rs

I just want to share my experience in trying to own a mazda 3

I reserved 2 months ago for mazda 3 1.5 white sedan,all along we landed on a date that they could reserve me a unit which is expected to come at 3rd week of october and released on the last week of october. Earlier today my SA said that there are only two units available which is a blue reflex and aluminum metallic na both HB . I've decided that aluminum metallic na HB was fine with me since 2nd choice ko naman talaga siya. Kaso lang after confirming that I am ok with the aluminum metallic my SA suddenly told me that the aluminum metallic was reserved to another customer na nakapila na daw sa unit. Nakakalungkot lang sana hindi na inoffer if ganun lang din pala, looks like I have to pull out the reservation since I really need a car this november.

I really want the mazda 3 but I really need a car this coming month

Hmm this is weird, as far I know new units arrived every first week of the month. If Japan did delivery 1.5 sedan to PH, your SA should have already informed you agad-agad. And since my reservation naman po kayo dapat mas mataas ang priority nyo sa iba.

As for the blue reflex and aluminium HB, I was also asked by my SA by this. I was waiting for my M3 1.5 White HB but she asked if I would like the Blue reflex and aluminum HB since both were displayed on their showroom. I ask if may owners na sila. Sabi nya yes. So why bother asking me if I like the blue reflex or aluminum HB. Ahahaha

Anyway, I suggest you wait sir. I think the wait is worth it. My story was I was waiting for soul red M2 to arrived. Then noong malapit na dumating yung M2 sa pinas (1 week na lang), nagbago ako bigla ng decision and converted my reservation to an M3 1.5 white hb. The next month meron na dumating (Thank God!). Nagkaroon ng mga aberya sa bank etc. had to put more money as reservation para di makuha ng iba ang kotse. Ayun tomorrow, they will finally deliver it to our home

Yan ang problema sa Mz3, Japan only makes a small amount of LHD Mz3s since tayo lang ang LHD market (China has its own Mazda plant) sa region.

Noooooooo!!!! This is just 1 of the many similarly sad & painful M3 sob stories. Wish I can help your plight. Please hang in there, Ollie sir....
What dealership is this??? Can't the M2 fill in for you, sir?

Qave, sabi ng bank ko hahanap daw sila ng other dealership na may M3 but I wonder if they could find one.

I'm having second thoughts on the M2, because the price range of the M2 falls under the price range of some other compact sedan. When the mazda 2 is only a sub-compact sedan. But don't get me wrong I really like the M2 because somehow it has the same DNA of the M3. It's just that I previously owned a sub-compact sedan that is why I'm kind of moving away from it

Japan & Mexico are tag teaming the LHD NA market w/ 2.0s & 2.5s....just not the 1.5s....they get shipped here & Europe.

I think majority of the owners endured a quite long para lang makuha ang Mz3 nila. Isa na ako doon, waited for almost 2 months. Heartbreaking talaga ang experience pero the heartache is worth it! Kung baga di mo pagsisisihan ang pag-aaantay sa Mz3. Also another advice, kung talagang first choice mo ang Pearl White Metallic, stick to it. Baka pag nakuha mo ang aluminum metallic (sorry travs and geo :peace: ) at bigla kang nakakita ng white Mz3, eh bigla kang magkaroon ng regret at sabihin mong "sayang, dapat nag-white nalang talaga ako". I was dead set na sa Soul Red and 2nd choice ko ang white and pwede ko agad kunin yun white dahil available sa dealer. Pero sabi ko, Soul Red is Soul Red, its waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay ***ier than white for me. So nag-antay talaga ako na may dumating.

Haha!! No worries bro Testa. I agree naman na follow what your heart truly desires para walang pagsisisi. 😊
