Update: 2010-2013 Mazda 3 Performance Parts

I know this is a bit redundant, but we’re just so excited about these new parts that we thought we’d give you an update on how things are moving along with the new 2010 Mazda 3 parts.

You remember from last blog that I got my hands on a 2010 Mazda 3. It was a 2.0L automatic, but because we had ordered a dual-exhaust rear bumper I was still able to make both a single and dual exhaust for it. You’ll also see a picture of the new SRI (Short-Ram Intake) for the 2010 Mazda 3.

First up here’s some pictures of the single-exit exhaust:

Here’s a couple shots of the dual exhaust:

Finally, here is the new SRI:

That’s all for this time, keep checking back for more updates!

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:
