Hey guys, any of you know of a good muffler/exhaust shop in the area? I'm bringing my midpipe down with me and want to have resonator welded in while I'm home. Any help would be great.

Well Im in killeen but not w/ my rx8... was driving down i 35 south w and my car started dieing and bogging and died on me on the side of the road. so i had to get it towed to classic mazda in some town that starts w/ a d. and im pretty sure my apex seal went b/c the other day i was sprayin nitrous andhad a backfire, i checked everything and it ran fine and what not. must have weakend the seal and it finally gave out on the way here. so now im screwed b/c i have my nitrous and everything on there so the dealer most likely isnt going to warrenty anything. so i have a 2009 mercury marquise!! hopefully its not a seal and its something else but i almost bet its the apex seal! i still try to make it to the meet if im here that long since so far its costed me 350 dollars just for a rental and im going to have to pay outa pocket to get the car fixed!

I know this isn't the place but, W.N you do realize there is more than 1 apex seal in your motor, right? There are six...also, you said the engine slowly died...you may have just a simple coil issue or maybe a fuel issue. If you lost an apex seal believe me you would know. The motor would have sounded like lawnmower on its last leg.

Keep us posted though.

well i do know theres more then one seal i was just meaning i think i blew a seal. maybe i didnt though b/c the strange thing is the idle was fine and when i say slowly i mean like if i tried to accelerate the car would bog down so in other words i pretty much just coasted to a stop then it died, and would not start back up. then about 30 min later when the tow guy got there it started up and ran fine again but i did notice a little fluid on the ground. all i know when i started in iowa i sprayed the nitrous had a back fire b/c of too much pressure in the bottle car seemed to be ok the **** out in fort worth. now im pimpin in a 09 mercury marquise! lol dealer said they are gonna get to it monday so hopefully its not a seal and it can get fixed what ever it is!!
