What have you done to your CX-5 today?

Exhaust tips.... $31. Makes the teeny pipes look a little more manly.

Cool! I currently have the Racing Beat installed but have been eyeing the Corksport... Could you post a sound clip or a video? I had the Corksport in my CX-7 turbo and loved it but I have not seen any CX-5 running it.

if you decide to switch to the corksport let me know, I might know someone who would be interested in taking the racing beat off your hands, Me!

On a side note, does anyone know if either the corksport or racing beat fit with a hitch installed as well?
 
I'll keep you in mind, then. About the hitch, it should be no problem, since the entire muffler assembly needs to be dropped/taken off in order to bolt the hitch frame directly to the subframe of the car. The holes are already there, just a bolt-on procedure. I've also been looking into this as an alternative bike rack mounting point but since I have recently bought folding e-bikes for myself and wife, I won't be putting it in.

Not a modder so giving info on a regular accessory here:

Covercraft Sunblocker works amazing with the CX-5. It fits 99%, is sturdy and blocks tons of HEAT. Yes it is expensive and hard to put up or take down. But its well worth if you see a lot of 100 + days.
I got mine for 27 bucks - got really good deal (Open box etc.). Usually it retails for 59. I used to get the $10 regular stuff - but this will keep your dash and car cooler. Infact I face my car towards the sun knowing this will keep it cooler.

I have a Curt hitch on ours along with a RB muffler. No interference problems.

Yet another 2016 transmission bites the dust? :( This is the second one for the week! Would you mind to give us the manufacture date (on the driver's side door jamb) of your CX-5?

Build date on our CX-5 is 03/15. Got the car back last week and so far the problem seems to have been fixed. Transmission feels a lot smoother.

Thanks for the info. Our 2016 CX-5 was built in 01/15; so far so good (knock on wood ⋯).

I wish you can post your experience of failed transmission in this related thread instead of getting buried here:

Poll: My CX-5 transmission failed and was replaced
 
Painted my wheels! Cant get the pics to attach though...theyre a dark grey

Hi, I recently got a 2015 CX5 and would like to know if I could use a mazda 3 exhaust on this with not to much trouble (dunno)
The only reason for asking is to increase the number of options I have as I only know of three exhaust systems for the CX5 (Racing beat, Cs, and HKS)

Mate ...I watched a guy from the site fit a set to a mazda 3 (i think) and followed most of his fitting guide...the hardest part of the task was running the wires through the door jam....
 
Changed oil/filter and rotated tires. I'm loving these General Altimaxes, a little over 9,000 miles and there is no discernible wear.

What's wrong with the CS and Racing Beat options?

I would ask the manufacturer of the Mazda3 exhaust that you want, to see if it will fit a CX-5.

Made a (custom) clipless phone mount for the center dash of my '16 sport. just slap it in, or grab it and go. nothing to fiddle with.

I hate how the center console just looks black in all practical light conditions except when you see at a perfect angle - would have loved it if it was a shade lighter or so.
Talking about the trim that is greyish with some wood style on it.
