Hey Yo, I'm Brandon, 21, and this is my 2006 Mazda 3 S Series. I bought this car in January 2006 and have steadily been making additions to its looks, sounds, and performance. Stay tuned and check out my ride as I give you a quick walkthrough of my modifications.

Performance:

AEM Cold Air Intake
Grounded Throttle Body
Magnaflow Custom Exhaust (No Cats)

Magnaflow Exhaust laid out and ready to be installed. bmheber1's 2006 Mazda 3 Test fitting before tigtening the clamps.bmheber1's 2006 Mazda 3

Since the intake required the front bumper be removed I had the professionals at Sonic Boom Motorsports take care of the hassle. bmheber1's 2006 Mazda 3 For the throttle body I bought some 4 Gauge ground wire and connected it to the throttle body and the negative battery terminal. It allows the Electronic Throttle Body to respond much quicker to the gas response.bmheber1's 2006 Mazda 3

Sounds:
6 1/2" Alpine Type R Component System
6 x 8" Alpine Type R 2-Way Coaxial Speakers
Rockford Fosgate P2 10" Component Subwoofer
Rockford Fosgate P4004 4 Channel Amplifier
-originally puts out 1200 watts. Bought with a birth certificate rated at 1719 watts. Gotta love Rockford Fosgate.
Custom Installation

I used 3/4" MDF to build the box and template.bmheber1's 2006 Mazda 3 Finished the box, time to mount to the template.bmheber1's 2006 Mazda 3

Finished product looks tight. At night, the amp lights up red orange matching the interior gauges.
