Just wanted to know if anyone here had transported the stock exhaust system (or any other exhaust for that matter) from the cat back in their 8? And while we're on it, can we transport 4 tires with rubber in the 8 and still have a passenger?

 

you can possibly get 4 tires in there if you are short and you have the small factory sized tires i have 2 275/35/19's in my car right now they barely fit in the back seat

 

I have fit three 245/40/18 in the back and one in the trunk. Taking out the back seats help. The Exhaust would fit better if you take the pipe off of the canister. If you can't do that then it could be done if you recline the passenger seat.

 

I have fit 4 stock 18" wheels (no tires) in my 8 at the same time. On a separate occasion, I fit an exhaust and midpipe in my 8. If I remember, I had the exhaust in the passenger side with the seat down, and the midpipe was in the trunk and through the center console.

 

wow, guess I'm the odd one out. I don't even want to put my laptop bag on my seats, nevermind tires.

 

My stock exhaust system has a very handy storage and transport system mounted under the car. Very smart of Mazda to think of this.

Also, there are four convenient carrying points on the car for mounted tire/wheel combos.

 

i have transports 4 tires in my car once ... it was a really tight fit though

 

You are putting more stress on your seats getting in and out of your car then your laptop bag would do.

 

My greddy exhaust fit on the reclined front seat, but it was brand new and clean.

I wouldn't put the stock exhaust on the seat because it will be filthy

 

hmm, but I sit flat on the chair, and I don't have pants with buttons on them. I don't even put my wallet in my rear pocket so that I don't leave imprints on the seat.

 

LOL...same here.. I dont put anything on the back seats except people.
