Great bar
I have installed the AutoExe center floor bar on my 2021 Mazda 3 NA AT a few days ago. My current modifications are: Custom 2.5” mid-pipe with stock cat, Spare tire delete, CorkSport: Rear engine mount, Rear sway bar, Axle-back exhaust (with welded tips), Auto Exe: Floor crossbar, Center floor bar, Ultra Racing: Front strut bar, Front lower bar, Rear torsion bar, Mikstore: Center structure board, Tires: Hankook Ventus V2 Concept 2 (215/45/R18) The install was very nice and straight forward. I could not read the Japanese instructions that came with it but it was clear both from my attempt to install it and the diagram in the installation instructions that you have to cut some carpet around the rear mounting points of both the front seats. You have to remove both the seats completely to be able to cut the carpet easily. The carpet on the floor is really thick. Regular scissors do not cut it. I used the serrated knife on my multi tool, which is not at all the best tool for the job. I recommend using some sort of shears if you want to do a nice job as well as go quickly. The torx screws came undone at 56ft-lbs so I torqued them back on at 56ft-lbs. It was a very satisfying installation. Even with all my chassis bracing already installed the center floor bar made a big difference in stiffness. The car with all the stiffening handles much better, it comes out of the corners quite aggressively now and much more controllably, which I appreciate.
