First Look: 2010 Mazda 3

On this edition of CSBlog we’ll be getting our first look at a 2010 Mazda 3!

We were able to get our hands on a 2010 Mazda 3 sedan to do some part fabrication and testing. The Mazda 3 that we got was equipped with the 2.0L engine and an automatic transmission. A couple of things that I noticed about the car right away were that this really is just a facelift, and the undercarriage is mostly the same as earlier models. On this revision, Mazda finally made the exhaust system two pieces, so no more cutting the factory exhaust to remove it from the car, which is a bonus. This is a short update, but I really just wanted to show you the single-exit and dual-exit exhausts and the SRI (Short-Ram Intake) that we were able to develop for it.

Couple pictures of the underside of the car:

Here’s a picture of the prototype dual exhaust I whipped up:

That’s all for now!
