Does magnflow make the magnapack for the 3?I liked the magnapack sound better on my other car.

[utopia]

i'd go with vibrant or corksport but i guess that isn't what you're looking for.

but i like borla.

[jaydubz]

I believe he has a NA 3, I would say Borla.

[clos561]

how much does those exhausts cost?

[kjn24]

get the Borla. i have a borla (GMPP) on my cobalt(dont flame please) and i love it. i am not a fan of magnaflow.

[zoomzone]

I'd say get the one that I sell, but, addmittedly, I am biased.

Cut the muffler and put a $20 glasspack on that beast. Borla on a car with 120HP at the wheels is a joke.

We all want to hear some audio clips. POST EM!!!!!!!!!(burnout)(drive2)

[Powerslave]

cool it sounds badass, 10x better than stock, my friend rodey has no mufflers and the second cat gutted and his is much louder than mine, both our cars sound mean!!!

[Akaveli]

What exactly is your goal? Sound? Performance? Looks? If its sound then I would suggest checking out some clips on both exhaust but IMO Borla would sound better. Performance wise neither one of thoughs exhaust would give you better gains then HKS, OBX and Corksport which deletes the second cat. Looks...I'd say Borla again. Currently I'm running OBX cat-back which I got from protegegarage and I absolutely love it. :)

[FrancoNemo]

im gettin a really good price on the Magna so i might just go with that with not resignator, and a highflow cat. i really like how Borla and ARK sound that's the n only thing that makes me doubt getting the Magna even though it still sounds really nice!

[FrancoNemo]

I ended up gettin the Magna w/ highflow cat converter, n a borla tip bc the one that came with the kit looked like shit!

Nice, just sounds a little to ricer for me. I would have gone with 3"s imho.

and where would i want to get this done and at about what price for all of this?

[3.slow]

You do it your damned self and only spend $20 for the glasspack and $1.99 for the muffler clamp.

Putting a cat back that cost as much as a Borla system on any car, be it a Mazda3 or a Corvette, is a joke.

For less than $600 I put a turbocharger on my truck LOL. No need to spend $600 on borla.

Dude and chill out. Take that stick out of your ass.

if i could find me a $600 turbocharger for the 3, lemme know =)

and i'm honestly just tired of having people shoot questions down that are legitimate. I wouldn't spend $600 either when the CorkSport is phenomenal for like what..$435 or something?

Hey bro, that sounds pretty cool....however, i'm not skilled in the welding field....you would need some welding skills for that, is that correct? You think a muffler shop can do this in no time? I'm seriously considering getting a deep growl from my speed3...

and glasspacks? haha, I have those on my 1950 Chevy Deluxe and they sound mean! I can't picture a speed3 on glasspacks...but then again, I'm only comparing it to the only thing I know would use them...classic cars...

so, if you don't mind educating me...what will cutting the muffler and adding a glasspack do? Does this affect performance in any way? There's been talk about smoking...is that, in any way, connected to altering the exhaust?

Appreciate the help....

btw, I don't think your response to the other guy was in any way putting him down....

LOL. All you have to do is chop the muffler with a sawzall or hack saw. Buy the glasspack and a muffler clamp. Make sure the glasspack just barely slides over the stock exhaust. Buy an appropriate size clamp and tighten it down. You can use the stock exhaust hangers if you want or buy some real cheap from autozone.

This is a cheapo ghetto install. LOL
The turbo I had for my truck was a CT26 off of an early 3.0L 6 cylinder supra. My truck was a 3.0L v6 Ranger so it was a perfect match. I got the turbo and everything real cheap. I did a remote mount turbo setup.

The problem was that the tuner wanted $1400 to tune my one of a kind turbo ranger. The tune would cost more than what my truck was worth. That is why I sold it and bought a factory turbo car.
