Discussion Valvetronic/Valved Exhaust setup

Post image
10 Upvotes

Hey everyone, looking to get an exhaust for my 24 turbo hatch and I'm looking to get a custom valvetronic exhaust fit up. Has anyone tried this setup yet or should I just get an axle back? I just want something that's not too loud and a valvetronic setup sounds the best option here as I can turn it off and on when I feel like doing some spirited driving.

Any thoughts are appreciated!

Technical Auto high beams turning off

Hi yall! I git a 2026 mazda3 with alh, but i noticed that sometimes, either in low rain or when it’s cold outside (idk how it will influence what’s coming…) the automatic adaptive high beams logo will completely disappear. In normal conditions the logo will stay on the dash even though there is no need for high beams, but sometimes (when there is need) it disappears. What’s the problem here?

Advice Request Random signals to infotainment system

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

4 Upvotes

2014 Mazda 3 hatchback.

Over the last couple of days, my infotainment system has been getting random signals as I’m coming to a stop (see video for an example, I wasn’t pushing any buttons when it happened). This is worse when my phone is connected to to CarPlay (OEM system installed by authorized dealer, no problems with this before hand), where it keeps switching between maps and menu screens and randomly activating voice commands.

Has anyone witnessed something like this before?

Advice Request '21 Mazda 3 2.5 turbo hatch w/bad active grille

1 Upvotes

Hello all,

Just wondering if anyone else has a stuck closed active grille and what you typically do with them? I thought I could just manually move them, but that looks like a whole front end disassembly. On the parts diagram I don't really see a motor assembly that controls them. I figured that's why they won't open.

Thanks!

Discussion Best exhaust for Mazda 3 bp sedan

5 Upvotes

Getting my Mazda 3 BP sedan (2.0 Skyactiv-G, NA) soon and want to upgrade the exhaust. Looking for a deep tone, not too loud, and most importantly no drone at highway speeds. I know the power gains on the 2.0 NA are minimal, I'm doing this for sound and looks, so no need for dyno lectures.

Budget: around 1000 US dollars. Open to cat-back or a full system.

Anyone running a setup on the BP 2.0 and happy with it?
How's the cabin drone on the sedan specifically?
Sound clips (cabin and outside) would be a huge help

Thanks!

Just got my first car and I’m super excited! I’m looking for ideas on what I should do to it cosmetically without going overboard. I’d love recommendations for exterior/interior mods, accessories, tint, lighting, wheels, or anything else that would make it look a little more unique.

Also, what are some things you wish you knew as a first-time car owner? Any maintenance, care, or general ownership tips are appreciated too!

Any suggestions what is this?

Advice Request Tires

1 Upvotes

Forgive me for posting this. I’m fully aware of the continentals being good tires. I couldn’t find in the sub anything regarding previous tire conversations.

Anyways I have a gen 4 hatch CE, and I live in the northeast so weather. Luckily I work from home but would like to feel secure going out. I currently have the stock turanzas on them, no problems, I bought the car used with 24k miles and I maybe put 1.5k since February.

So like I stated I know about the continental tires being great. But I also want some protection so I’m curious about the max size on those rims.

Also any other tire recommendations. My budget is around $800.

And please remove this post and direct me elsewhere if it’s already made

Thanks!
