Enhance your Mazda 3's performance with the aFe Takeda 2-1/2 inch stainless steel axle-back exhaust system, designed specifically for models from 2014 to 2018 with 2.0L or 2.5L engines. This system delivers impressive gains of up to 6.45 horsepower and 8.12 lb-ft of torque as verified on our in-house dynamometer, unlocking extra power and improving overall vehicle responsiveness. Crafted from mandrel-bent 304 stainless steel tubing, the exhaust ensures maximum durability and resistance to corrosion, providing a long-lasting upgrade for your vehicle.
The system features dual 4-1/2 inch diameter polished stainless steel clamp-on tips, laser-etched with the Takeda logo for a refined appearance. The mitered merge collector reduces turbulence and enhances exhaust velocity, resulting in increased horsepower, torque, and improved throttle response. This direct bolt-on design uses a factory-style flange and hangers, eliminating the need for cutting or modifications, thus simplifying installation. 100% MIG-welded construction guarantees race-proven strength and structural integrity, ensuring reliable performance under demanding conditions.
Designed with the latest computer-aided engineering technology, this exhaust system offers precise fitment and seamless integration with your Mazda 3. Its deep, aggressive sound complements the performance gains, providing an enhanced driving experience. Whether you're looking to improve horsepower, torque, or sound, the aFe Takeda system is engineered to meet high-performance standards while maintaining a clean, factory-like appearance.
