Hey all, What are some good muffler options for the MS6? I have a buddy who's willing to custom fab the 3" pipe, but I need to supply the muffler (single cat back). I like the sound of the CP-E and Corksport CBE's, but I don't see that they sell the mufflers seperately (although I haven't...

I searched several times for the fog light cut-out thread I started. I was going to post an update... I've noticed that since doing the cut-out on the drivers side fog light that the drivers side wheel collects a lot less brake dust than the passenger side. I'm guessing that it's a good sign...

...but not in a bad way. (lol2) I ran out of other projects and decided to tackle the fog light cut-out that I've been contimplating for a few months. It's not too exciting, but it turned out pretty good...and gave me something to do while drinking beer in the garage. (drinks) Here's what I...

Does anybody know why Mazda changed the cold pipe between '06 and '07? If there are any known advantages then I was thinking about picking up an '07 cold pipe and boost tubes whenever I order a new TMIC. Better yet, does anybody make a bolt-on TMIC that doesn't use the stock cold pipe? A nice...

With the stock BPV I see boost spikes of 18 psi tapering down to 14 near redline. With the Forge BPV (blue spring no shims) is see boost spikes of 20 psi tapering down to 15 near redline. My question is, since most aftermarket TMIC's will gain you an additional 2 psi does this mean that I...

Just in case you didn't know, SU deletes all product reviews that don't state that their products are great. I left a somewhat negative review (2 stars) on their test pipe because the flanges weren't even close to being at the proper angle. In order to get it to fit the exhaust hangers were...

I've noticed that whenever I install my Forge BPV I get a really rough idle and minor exhaust popping whenever I start the car (cold or warm). It sorta mellows out after a bit but never goes away completely. I originally thought it was just my TP and had somehow never noticed it before. But...

So what's the deal with the stock Mazda MP3 option? I've tried multiple bit rates and file types, but can't seem to get it to recognize the audio tracks. The manual doesn't really give you any input either. Does it require an index file (m3u) or a specific file type and bit rate? What am I...

I'm hoping somebody else has had this problem and can tell me what's going on. So a few weeks after I installed my mods (everything but the rear engine mount) I've picked up a very strange clunky noise. If I drive normal it never happens. If I accelerate hard through 3rd and then shift into...

I always mark forums as read once I've gone through all the new posts. However, the next time I log in all of the same threads show new posts (even though they're not), so I always have to mark everything as read again. What a pain. Why is it that this is the only vBulletin forum where I have...

A thread dedicated to MS6 specific DashHawk info and goodies. MS6 info: Curb weight - 3589 lbs (full fluids, no occupants) Drag coefficient - .31 Frontal area - 24.66 sq/ft I calculated frontal area based off of an exterior width of 70.1" and an exterior height of 56.3" minus 10%. Hopefully...

It finally happened...my first exterior blemish...and it's a BIG one. :( My wife's friend doored the front driver's side fender HARD with a big ass door (early 90's Mecury Cougar I think). Left this huge dent on the edge of the wheel well and scraped the paint down to metal. (pissed) Pics...

Hey all, Does anybody know of a scheduled meet somewhere in the Pacific Northwest? I'd like to get out this spring/summer and meet some fellow enthusiasts and see what other people have done with their Mazda's. Any info is appreciated.

Has anybody tried a Frantz TP oil filter on a newer Mazda? http://www.frantzoil.com/home.html They've been around forever. In fact my '72 Nova (first car) came with one already installed and I loved it. The oil still looked brand new after 3,000 miles...and TP rolls are CHEAP! Plus the...

Not really sure what to call it, so we'll go with CAI wheel well shield. I was a little leary of driving in the rain with the MS CAI because of how open it is to the driver side wheel well and the stories I've heard about hydrolocking. So I set out to find some way of hindering water exposure...

What do you guys think of the Enkei RSO5 18x7.5" wheels? I really like the look and the fact that they weigh less than stock (19.15 lbs each). I'm leaning towards the silver ones. Does anybody have pictures of these on an MS6? With or without lowering springs is fine. I didn't see any in...

Took my MS6 to the dealership today. I noticed a leak in the front diff and I was also experiencing extremely hard shifts between 1st and 2nd when the car was cold after getting the clutch TSB taken care of. Plus the 30k maintenance. The guy that picked me up from Enterprise asked me what...

Sorry if this is a repost, I searched and didn't find anything. Does anybody have an opinion on the 2.5" vs the 3" SU test pipe? The only reason I ask is that SU just called me to ask if they could substitute my order with a 3" because they're out of 2.5". They did such a good job of selling...

Do any of you use a dashboard accelerometer to check 0-60 times etc? If so, is there a specific make or model that you recommend? I'm not looking to spend big money, but would be willing to spend a few hundred dollars. Thanks in advance for any input.

Do I need to worry about Mazda dealership voiding my warranty for any CAI except the MS CAI? If not, then which of these 3 CAI would you recommend and why? CP-E Injen MazdaSpeed I'm currently thinking about purchasing the CP-E because they specifically state that it will not cause CEL's...
