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

Welcome back!

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 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 face lift, the undercarriage is mostly the same as earlier models. On this revision Mazda did finally make the exhaust system 2 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!
