2003 Mazda Protege 5
Would an aftermarket exhaust from where it bolts on thats on a mazda speed protege fit my protege 5?
 
It will bolt in, but it will also stick out way past the bumper since the P5 has a shorter rear end than the msp.
 
Correct, everything except the axle back/muffler section will fit. Tip has to be cut and shortened to fit sedan axle back on P5.
 
Here's the differences between the two axlebacks.
2002 P5 vs 2003.5 MSP axlebacks.

I just cut a few inches off, went to AutoZone and bought a cheap tip and clamped it on. Turns out you can't weld regular metal to stainless without some special welding. The shop wanted 50 bucks to weld the tip for me so I just clamped it. Looks ok and works just fine. No rattling or anything.
