thank you sir. i will take the proper steps toward looking into it further as time allows and, in fact, likely will end up PM'ing you at some point for more info/convo. thanks

i just jammed on it while a buddy used my watch. exact was SOMEWHERE between 8.5 and 10 seconds (gonna say he may have lost track, but either way it FELT very slow). yes it was that slow, though there are better days, and they don't get much worse. the ecu/gas concept mentioned before makes most...

by the way tsunami, how ya been?

35k on it.... no clutch issues, just did oil and lube, same gasoline pattern as ever, no dead weight, have NOT done a full tune up (could check plugs), have not done any extraneous tuning at all... just suddenly (2 weeks or so) slower.... and yes air filter is clean (just cleaned it about 1k...

yeah, thanks for the pointers.... what i should have said however, is "why am is slowER" than before......

I know that by starting my thread with that I am walking right into some potential flames, but seriously. I have a 2004 2.3L 3 sedan ATX with (in terms of performance related mods) : Mazdaspeed CAI Mazdaspeed cat-back advanced timing mod Buddy Club condensor that's it. I use 89 pump gas and...

MUST FIND AUTOCROSS... Hey guys. I have finally landed in taxachusetts and have been here for about 2 weeks now. So far so good. The "finally landed" part will make sense to those who have consoled me in terms of MA. exhaust issues, and yes I have passed inspection. Anyhow, I am looking for...

welcome phantom chick! nice to meet you! (wink)

that 0.040 was for pulstars..... bosch is showing .052 will shut up now until a competent answer appears

going to say 0.040 but wait for a second answer just to be sure (sorry to be unclear)

much appreciated. looking forward to making new friends.... i will definitely seek you out among bazooka joe and other friendlies in here. being the chick driver, i think i'll look for you first though. many meets up that way?

bazooka joe is right about the heat gun in its versatility..... nice little stab there by the way:)

thanks again guys for the repsonses.... one other question: if for some reason i do end up having to go back to the stock exhaust, i can at least still keep the cat-back for future use no? any damage would be incurred to the cat-back system that would be irreversable? yes, i am a paranoid...

its very simple really..... just use some fishing line to sneak behind the pieces, which are just on with double sided 3M stuff.... try a sawing type action. once you get a start, just carefully just pull them off. some people say you must heat them. i did not need to, but it does not hurt to...

I am currently driving a 2.3L 3 sedan (2004) and planning a move from FL. to MA. in the next 30 days. I have the Mazdaspeed CAI (50 state legal) and the Mazdaspeed Cat-Back exhaust. I am pretty sure she is running clean, but its the noise that I am now worried about. Current MA. residents will...
