Check out http://www.mazda-parts.com/partscat.html
It'll cost ya about $617.

Not so sure how it'll work on a non-turbo vehicle. You could as an alternative go with an aftermarket exhaust best suited for non-turbo vehicles.

You could also go to your local muffler/exhaust shop and tell them what you want? Some/many(?) have done this and have had very good results at a much lower cost.
Me? I like my Vibrant, though I admit it was on the pricey side.

This is the Vibrant, but like I said..... pricey. The good news is that it is the only system I know of that comes complete w/a free-flow cat and is flanged as well.

And yes, the engine was completely warmed up (full oil temp) before I took this video. I did my best not to abuse it.

I installed a vibrant on my 3 sedan as well and I love the sound. It is also looks great on the 3. Not too flashy but will turn some heads! It was pricey as Virgin said but it does come with a high flow cat already in the midpipe.

In my driveway. It took about 90mins, wheels up to wheels down.
Watch out for that heat shield though. I lost 2 knuckles on that sharp lil' sucker... and that was being careful.
