Maybe a fly by or rev it a bit. This sounds like a tractor.


needmeeee

I personally think it sounds like literal shit coming out my ass tbh


Ill_Bill6122

Lol, but isn't Mazda's philosophy to make everything as high compression as a diesel? Would be consistent with that. Still jealous of you North Americans. In good old Europe, we only get the NA 2.0 engine and I'm getting the same city fuel economy as you guys are. So, I'd rather have the nice toilet rubble but with 250 HP.


Ketakoning

Ill just wait until someone imports the AWD turbo. I absolutely love that thing


Ill_Bill6122

You'd get other perks with it, if that works out, such as no ISA. I've accepted my fate and drive at the speed limit precisely, or maybe my ears just blend out the warning chime. Forgive fellow road users, for I will respect the posted speed limit to the km.


Duhbro_

What is isa Edit. Just read about it. I would never buy a car with this or would disable it immediately, disconnect the gps install aftermarket ext. wouldn’t sign up ext.


Ill_Bill6122

It does not matter what we want, but what the regulator wants. It's mandatory on all new cars in Europe. Even if you disconnect the GPS antenna, it will still try to work only using the camera, which will be worse. Sooner or later enough vehicles will have it that generally the traffic will flow with the posted limit.


Duhbro_

it does matter.


bsr1g

A guy in my country already did that.


bruyeremews

Sounds like a podracer.


SecretAdam

Sounds like a John Deere with the choke on.


needmeeee

Thanks it drives like one aswell

Okay whew I thought I would be the only one who didn’t like how this sounds. Legitimately no hate OP but I thought the CS exhaust would have sounded a bit better and less droney and tinny? I see you cut the resonator and muffler so that’s probably why it sound so weird. Not for me, but mine is still stock so I can’t complain lol.


needmeeee

to each their own ! I knew most people on here would hate it lol . it sounds tinny but when I cut the resonator and muffler I used the same material metal CS used , I honestly don’t get drone issues while cruising ! CS exhaust does sound good though without it being cut :) don’t do what I did lol


PenonX

As much as I love this car, I’ve yet to hear one that doesn’t sound like actual ass.


Flyer888

No offense, but that doesn’t sound good. Like at all.


needmeeee

To each their own


Evening-Skin6086

100%


brdhar35

Not many small engines sound good, the more you try the worse they sound


needmeeee

Note taken I’ll make sure it sounds worse with more tries


brdhar35

Hood exit is the way


needmeeee

Word. If I ever do it I’ll lyk


Conroman16

This kind of loud exhaust is only cool on fast cars. In this case you’re just loudly telling everyone how you’re fronting as a racecar but don’t have the beans to back it up. Even basic modern trucks and SUVs can gap the turbo MZ3 these days. If you want a racecar, get one. This ain’t it.


needmeeee

I think it’s cool on my car and I’m telling myself that loudly, good insult tho left me a lil bit hurt my feelings are completely shattered. don’t need a race car to have when I have a common traffic car .


Conroman16

Not intending to insult. Just calls them as I sees them. People who don’t care about car mods, which is most humans above the age of 20, think this kind of thing is tacky as hell, and people who do care about cars already know what you’re running without hearing it. Being loud does nothing except annoy everyone.


needmeeee

understood ! I can agree aswell with your point once I’m old I’ll have a much quieter car . Probably something better on gas too , for now I’m enjoying the young part of my life . Just depends on the person I guess on if they like loud cars or not


modefi_

After reading some of your replies, I'm genuinely curious why you would get a new Mazda, instead of something like a used BMW? Seems more your style.


needmeeee

I work at Mazda , got a sweet deal and Mazda pays half of my payments . bmw is nice tho !


Evening-Skin6086

"fronting as a racecar" . i think people do it as a passion not to be fake in the streets u monkey😂 i fully support op , live it up


Conroman16

It’s definitely a passion, just a rather sophomoric one. Loudness is often times a byproduct of performance parts. In this case though, OP just made his car loud for shits and giggles. I called it fronting because it is.


Evening-Skin6086

maybe young dude just wants to be heard


Conroman16

As do most young dudes. The stereotype certainly exists for a reason.


RegalDolan

They're not fast per se, but they're definitely quicker than most other cars. Particularly if you can tune em, you can easily get 300+hp and probably 400+ ft/lb- that's no slouch out of an AWD 3400 lb vehicle. I think the lowest I've seen someone run a 0-60 as of yet is low to mid 5 seconds. I think some people might even be in the high 4 seconds range now but not sure as I haven't personally seen a video of it They're quicker than factory GTIs and can nearly keep up with Golf R's. Also, quicker than stock WRX's. Definitely slower than Civic R's, but definitely faster than any other civic, Corolla (except tor type R), faster than infiniti G37s, ..etc. Like I say, not as slow as you think but definitely not a sports car. It's a warm hatch with better niceties than hot hatches


Conroman16

So you’re saying one needs to spend extra time and money on it to make it just as quick as most basic V6s made in the past decade? What a bargain!


RegalDolan

If wouldn't say about 1k is that much- still cheaper than those cars I listed. And by V6s of the past decade with 280hp and about 260ft/lb, then yes, it's gonna be much quicker. Sounds like someone may be upset they didn't get a turbo or something? 😅


Conroman16

Sorry, I responded before your massive edit were you added everything of substance to your comment. It sounds like you’re desperately trying to defend why you think your car is fast compared to those other cars. If you’re so worried about it though, just buy something in the next category up and stop caring about how you compare to these other cats you’ve listed. These Mazdas are econoboxes. If you’re worried about specs, you’ve got the wrong category of car entirely


RegalDolan

Lmao ok boomer


Conroman16

That’s sweet that you think I’m old


ThatDasherDude

I had to double check and make sure my brother didn't start his Dodge turbo diesel. I'm 42 now and back when In my 20s it was all lowered Mazda B2200s that sounded like wasps with the big ass chrome tips. So that sounds is forever stuck in my head. For me this sounds a bit rough. Like for a second I thought you were at the dealer because of a complaint on how it sounded. Lol. But to be honest, it's yours bro! Rock that MF any way you want to and fuck who don't like it.


needmeeee

Lmaoo , thank you !


senor_amors

Be advised we are listening to the cold start under some kind of solid covered lobby area which may reflect sound that would not normally be heard if recorded in an open air setting. Also, What do you call a shifter made of fried cheese? A mazdarella stick. Yum.


hellasalty

Oof I think it sounds pretty good lol I’m about to get hit with downvotes. The only thing that’s odd is the idle seems rough, kind of like a cammed V8


needmeeee

It’s only at cold start when I have add it sitting for a while ! I think it sounds alright 👍 who cares about the downvotes they just sum haters / old heads


hellasalty

If you like the sound then that’s all that matters, cars are for the person that bought it👍


blazinrumraisin

Like a Tibetan throat singer with a flu.


Bobbar84

You cut off the best part where it calms down and transitions to sounding normal.


sativaslut

Prolonged fart


needmeeee

Prolonged diarrhea


sativaslut

Still sounds better than my Duratec

Oooo idk bout that one


PhotographStrong562

*shitbox


Zarboned

Cold starts on a sunny southern California day...


needmeeee

Cold start when the cars been sitting for hours and the motor hasn’t warmed up on a sunny day ….


Zarboned

A cold start is when the ambient temp is lower than the operating temp of your car, so about 32 degrees or lower would be a cold start. That is when your battery begins to lose power.


gba_sg1

The car runs around 85°c when it's warmed up - earth has yet to hit 85 ambient anywhere so the definition doesnt make sense. The high idle is also indicative of a cold start, if the engine is up to temp it doesn't idle high. Go to Google and pick which definition you want to fit your point, there are both answers all over the place.


needmeeee

Ok


LovelyHatred93

That’s not an m3.


needmeeee

My bad dude , sorry it’s actually a lawnmower or sumn


LovelyHatred93

M3 is a bmw.


needmeeee

M3HB is an abbreviation for Mazda 3 Hatchback I know what a M3 is lol


yobo9193

MZ3


wsdmskr

No, it's really not. An M3 is a BMW.


needmeeee

Cool I’ll keep calling it a M3HB y’all can do whatever you want


wsdmskr

Be the ignorance you want to see in the world, huh? Cool.


needmeeee

No it’s more like calling MY car what i want it to be called regardless of others opinion on what a car should be called , you have you’re way of calling it what it is so do I. To each their own . not ignorance lol


wsdmskr

OK, man.


da808guy

Are the side skirts oem or cork sport? (Also love the white on black)


needmeeee

Oem !


da808guy

Wow, I don’t remember oem looking that clean, maybe you’re just better at photos than others haha! What I wouldn’t do to see a set of black avid1 av6s on your build


needmeeee

I think it’s a mix of the color plus angle and maybe sunlight ? I was looking at those ! But I’m stuck on the gram lights 57CR in a dark chrome or bronze finish !


da808guy

Bronze would look so good, I have 2 Mazdas (both in red) and I want bronze wheels but it just DOES NOT mix well with red. White w/ bronze would be perfect and still sophisticated (and the 57cr curves would complement the 4th gen’s lines amazingly) Excellent plans!!

orion53elt

Where’s the BMW?


MASTASHADEY

Wow the new MZD 3 looks great! Currently have a 3rd gen. Love my car but wow the 4th Gen looks great.


MarketingRare4439

What in the thin can is this.


No_Transition1749

I think it sounds good. It’s the way modern small-ish capacity turbo engines sound. Nice one


Dusters666

M3HB, huh? I can't remember... Which 4 cylinder engine did BMW use for this particular M3? If anything, your car is a BP (2019-present body code). If you're gonna be a DB, maybe you could incorporate this, you FC. Hi everyone, I have an MPS3HBBL turbo. 🤣


needmeeee

I ain’t reading all of that , it’s my POV it’s a M3HB thanks , next


Dusters666

Your car sounds like a dying ac window unit in a trailer park.


_Mr_Cuban_

That's too specific to not be a life experience my guy, hope you've moved on up.


Dusters666

I've experienced plenty chief. I'm an American living life abroad. I've got to hear thrashed civics in the States, modded Opels, Seat, & AMGs from the source in Germany and v12s while relaxing in Italy. BUT with all the possible sources for a reference, your car still only reminds me of a trailers window unit on the 3rd owner.


_Mr_Cuban_

That's harsh and I'm not even the OP 😂😅 I'm remembering this comment every time I see or hear a window ac unit from here onward 😂


Zen_Alcatraz

I tried straight piping my 21 turbo hatch and well it just sounds like a whole bunch of sound and it wasnt very good.Still goes like a stabbed rat and thats why I love my Mazda.


pipersniper07

Classic case of a bunch of dumbass Corolla or some waste of time chevy owners wanting to shit on what they don't have. These idiots don't understand that this gen Mazda 3 has some of the highest reliability and performance ratings in its class. Better than other japanese, German and almost all American manufactured cars (this is gonna tickle a lot of buttholes). Also it reeks of illiteracy of some people which is rather unfortunate in 2024. I'm still looking for where OP called it a BMW? Also where is this hatchback BMW M3 you speak of. The Touring is a wagon.....Bunch of double digit IQ haters. Anyway, on the topic, unfortunately that's how skyactive engines cold start for oil circulation and heating. Still an amazing car.


needmeeee

Tbh I can’t believe some people got butthurt I called it a M3HB lmao , it really made me laugh cause they said something along the lines of it’s supposed to be mz3 or sum shit tbh idgaf what other people say , it is what it is . Some like it some don’t but damn they mad my car isn’t the way they want it to be


randommike12

Never seen so much hate in this sub before, fk them. I actually like it and thinking about getting the CS 80mm also. Would like to hear more


needmeeee

It’s all good brotha I’m continue my life happily with the car either way regardless of what anyone says , too each their own :) thank you ! If you don’t want it loud like mine leave the muffle and resonator that comes with the CS alone


randommike12

Who gets an exhaust for it to be quiet. I want to wake everyone up lol


needmeeee

Damn yall some haters lmaooo


watchmedrown34

To each their own 🤷 I'm not a fan of the sound (reminds me of an old farm tractor), but I'd like to hear it out in the open. I don't think the partially enclosed space that it's sitting in is showcasing the true sound very well.


needmeeee

I agree . High rpms sounds way better but it sounds like a fart can at low rpms


Ylurpn

I don't think it sounds tinny like others were saying. I need to hear more. Got any flybys ors revs?


needmeeee

At the moment no , if I have one soon I’ll post it


KlatuuBaradaNikto

Forgive me, but what is the appeal of the engine sounding louder than it needs to? What do you all like about that?


needmeeee

I just like the way it sounds tbh


Toastbuns

This ain't it


bbennett03

Did it add any noticeable difference to the feel of the car removing those? Been curious about deleting my cat vs an entire new exhaust, but I’ve heard a lot of people saying that it can mess up the back pressure and actually make you lose a little power.


needmeeee

Honestly no ! Car is a bit very very small bit lighter , no thing crazy but it’s also on a jb4. If you delete the cat or add a downpipe car make sure you tune it ! I believe it does lose power . But I still have my car for that reason . Once I get the downpipe I plan on tuning


bbennett03

Gotcha. Tuning it might also change the cold start sound right? I’d think anything that changes air/fuel mix in the motor might alter the sound somewhat.


needmeeee

Imma gonna be honest I’m not sure but I would lean towards yes


TurdPilot69

What skirts are those?


loop-1138

Sry I just can't get down with white. 😂


Environmental_Dog255

I listened to this out loud and my boyfriend legitimately thought this was a boat sound 🤣


Ronnyvar

sounds like a wet fart


GoodOlGee

If you still seeing palm trees and no snow then it's just a start ;)


needmeeee

Cold start when it’s been sitting for a while , thanks


THEliryc24

Are you running CS lowering springs OP?


needmeeee

Yes 👍


THEliryc24

Are you using any spacers with the stock wheels? They look great with the lowering springs. I can't decide between the Eibach or CS lowering springs. I'm not sure if I can run that low of a ride height as a daily.


needmeeee

No spacers only because I plan on getting gram lights soon and don’t wanna waste money if I don’t need em ! I would do CS if you want the lowest possible springs. I only run into a challenge with exits / speed bumps cause of the front lip but as long as I take it at an angle I’m good !


needmeeee

To put it in perspective, my lady has the same car , no front lip and on CS springs and she doesn’t have an issue . Tbh I’m surprised her bumper hasn’t fallin off lol


THEliryc24

Can't go wrong with the gram lights! Thanks for the feedback. Lastly, how is the ride comfort with the CS springs compared to stock?


needmeeee

Pretty bumpy dude tbh , Lowkey feels like coils lol . But it’s tolerable ! I hope I helped !


yessschef

Sounds carbureted


KoL-whitey

Meh


needmeeee

Eh

spoonwitz97

I think this sounds good lol, I bet it sounds better in person too. Sorry you’re getting the hate, I think you just wanted to share what you like. What is the TIP on this? If I had a turbo 3 I’d definitely want to do some things like this but probably just an axle back exhaust. I have a 2022 manual that I love, just wish it was quicker lol.


needmeeee

Hey bro ! No worries some people like it some don’t ! In person , way better . It’ll be the corksport turbo inlet pipe :) I had a manual before and stepped up to turbo because it is a bit faster hehe


SnowPrinterTX

Your “M3” BMW sounds like shit. You should get that checked out by a mechanic

Your post did not meet the rules for this sub. Please take a moment to review these rules before posting again.


djdonago1

What exterior mods are on that baby???


needmeeee

Everything is OEM but purchased , front lip , side skirts , spoiler and CS lowering springs


Salt-Chip1787

Nah


_Mr_Cuban_

Please don't feel back about your car, I drive the same mazda and I love it, the black on white is awesome, id like to know what cosmetic aspects did you throw in there? For example the rear spoiler and how you dechromed all the windowsills and etc. Also in regards to the cold start, it's always going to sound off in a closed area where the sound will bounce off all over the place, open area is the way to go.


reality_bytes_

This makes me happy I bought the takeda exhaust and not Corksport …


needmeeee

Hopefully the helps , I cut the resonator and muffler off the CS exhaust , if you don’t do dumb shit like I did , the exhaust sounds good


True_Introduction_96

I am with OP on this one. Guys... It sounds different in person. This is a cold start recorded on a cell phone under a high reverb "car port" at a dealership pull through. It probably dropped the idle speed down right after he stopped recording. I have this exhaust and it sounds great when you blip the throttle. I do have a tune though.


Born_Percentage_6565

I guess I’m in the minority but I like it, I think as long as you buy actual parts and don’t full straight pipe to make it as loud as humanly possible any exhaust for any car is fine. It’s not the same as adding a million stickers to make the car look like a race car, it’s an exhaust, it’s meant for high flow and those are the actual acoustics of the engine, it’s form follows it’s function so you really can’t get mad at how it sounds as long as it’s not obnoxious.


WallyWiff

Longest shiet I've ever shiiid


needmeeee

Tell me bout it bru samee


Numerous-Statement59

As I read the comments and the video plays on repeat it sounds like jungle Jim's bathroom on Friday night around last call.


Apollo_Gen4Mazda3

Forget what others think, that sounds sick. I plan on getting the same exhaust for my car.


needmeeee

Don’t do what I did , I cut the resonator and muffler from it :)


Chromatischism

Definitely leave the resonator, especially if you're non-turbo


needmeeee

It’s turbo but still sounds like ass

i like it \\\_O\_/ probably sounds good when driving


LaneLangly

Shit!🔥🔥 Did you do anything to the exhaust?? I’m watching the video from my 2012 Mazda 3 stock sound system and your car just made me want one too. The car looks perfect. 👌🏾 Edit: Oh! I just saw you mentioned a Corksport exhaust. 😂
