    Hi everyone. Hopefully I’m in the right forum and aren’t breaking any rules. I got a USA 2017 Mazda3 that I love so far. I’m wondering if I can do anything to make my car pickup my voice better. When I get to a certain speed the sound in the car is really loud and people I’m calling can’t...

    I’m looking for some help finding a new exhaust that will make my car louder & have more of a standard car sound to it. I don’t know much about my car so I’m just here for some suggestions on what website & exhaust will best fit my car. I have a 2008 Mazda 3 hatchback touring edition. Thanks for...

    Tonight on my way home from the store, I was driving down my road in my '16 2.0 SkyActiv Mazda 3 with 61,000 miles and was almost back to my house, going about 10 mph, when suddenly there was a very loud, gunshot-like bang/pop, followed by a screeching sound that sounded like a dog. Only, I...

    I have a project air-cooled V-twin (7k -8k rpm) carburetted motorcycle on which I've modified many times over for the past 15 years..... and I've learned a lot of things with that vehicle. I bought it brand new, and one of the first mods was a $250 after-market exhaust (not a full exhaust, but...

    Hey guys, I was on my way into work today when my 2005 Mazda 3 2.0L started making a very loud ticking / knocking noise. It seems to be coming from the left side of the engine (if looking from the front of the car) I did some googling and searching of the forums and from what I can tell, it's...
  6. 2010-2013 Mazda 3 & Skyactiv Suspension & Handling
    I have a 2012 Skyactiv and today I noticed when going over bumps at below highway speeds that my rear suspension on my driver's side makes loud thumps or booms. I originally thought it was the sway bar end links coming loose again, but they are torqued to spec and it is a much deeper, less...

    I have a 2014 3SGT with stock Bose. I find that I have go pretty loud to get over road noise/open roof or windows. on average I range around 20 with windows up, but can get over 40 when things are open. Is there point that amp or speaker damage could occur?

    I'm interested in sound *deadening* to enhance the audio upgrades I'm working on. So I do not want to add noise from the exhaust. So what's the best option? According to Matt at OV Tuning the stock exhaust flows pretty well. Is there a higher-flowing option?

    Hello, I just got my new Mazda 3 soul red, sedan G100 version here in Europe. I love the car and after about 100 miles I only found one thing that irritates me. The rear parking sensors that i bought as an additional equipment are just too loud and can be heard outside louder than I can hear...

    recently after we lowered my car it rubs. Everytime I go over a bump (even if it's little) the front right of car makes a loud apart scrapping noise. It's not my front bumper hitting the ground. It's coming from in the wheel well. Can't figure out what it's hitting. My fender liners are cut so...

    My latest issue with my 12 Mazda 3 Grand Touring Sedan (skyactiv) is the back windshield making loud cracking and creaking sounds. It sounds like glass shattering or cracking. Yes, it has been very cold lately but this does not sound normal at all. I took it to the dealership about a month ago...

    Hey guys, I just wanted to say out loud how much I love my new CS SRI. I ordered it last Wednesday and it arrived on Friday. I was very pleased with the urgency of the shipping. It installed in about half an hour. People talk about how impressed they are with the sound it makes. I was blown...

    Sounds like it belongs on a track. Apart from his dildo shifter, it must be cool to occasionally drive that thing. I'd eventually get a headache as a daily driver. 2010 mazda3s 2.5L MSDS headers 4to1 with flex pipe, CS exhaust with racepipe. 2010 mazda3s 2.5L MSDS headers/ CS exhaust - YouTube
