The aFe Takeda 2.5" 304 stainless steel cat‑back exhaust with black tips is a direct‑fit system for 2014–2018 Mazda 3 2.0L and 2.5L models. Constructed from mandrel‑bent 304 stainless tubing with a high‑flow muffler and dual 4.5" black stainless tips, the system is 100% MIG‑welded and uses factory‑style flanges and hangers. Dyno testing showed gains up to about +5 HP and +7 lb‑ft, delivering a throaty exhaust note and improved throttle response; some cutting of the OE exhaust is required for installation.
