I ran over some debris that made it's way on the highway at night and it bent a plate in the area under the midpipe. Does anyone know of a cheap oem online store? or if there is someone that's parting out there 8? Thanks in advance.

 

i most likely have that part from my parts car that i have- send a picture of what you need. thanks!

 

I believe Trussville and Rosenthal are both sponsors here or at least have been. Their prices are reasonable. On the RX7 Forum everybody goes to Ray Crowe at Malloy Mazda, 888 533 3400. http://www.malloyautomall.com/. He's a great guy.

 

I went to the local dealership in Danvers, MA to get a quote and it turns out they had the part listed for 30 bucks. I just went and bought the bracket but still notice a little bit of power loss. I'm thinking I have a leak and when I was at the dealership, I asked them if they can do a pressure test but there's no such thing. They told me to cover the exhaust pipes with a damp cloth on each side and the noise (if there is a leak) should be more apparrent. Any other suggestions possibly? Thanks in advance.

 

if you just noticed the power loss after you ran over your debris then it could be a puncture somewhere although you would probably hear it more than feel a power loss... if your just feeling a power loss it could be your engine compression and you should definitely get that checked out through mazda.... if your still under warranty they will replace it.
