My GReddy SP2 has dual mufflers and cost 1/3 of what the MS cost FYI
BTW I just picked up my car and added the pre-mix, WOW between that an d2 new coil it is like a new car, still sounds like chewbacca though!

 

You won't notice anything until you've run at least a tank through there, but save it for your new engine anyway.

I do like the sound of the Greddy, but I'm stuck on Mazda. It means "no hassle" on any warranty issues, and they even warranty their install. This is probably the last brand-new car I will ever buy and it's going to last me into retirement and beyond. 20 years from now, having it all Mazda will keep the value higher.

I'm looking at the "Sport Exhaust", part no. GRMS-8M-K06, $785, $90 labor, + tax. About an hour install, so I can wait for it. Getting the old exhaust home might be fun...I may have to send up the company pickup truck to get it.

I may order it this week; they pull stock from California and it takes about 5 working days to arrive. I guess no Mazdaspeed parts are carried in the Denver warehouse.

 

sounds good! I like the look of the MS exhaust alot, and warranty is good!

 

Here's what I'm looking at:

http://www.mazdausa.com/MusaWeb/spee...ModelYear=2004

Sport Exhaust - RX-8 (2004-2008)
Part No: GRMS-8M-K06
MSRP: $785
Install: $90
About a one-hour job, quoted at the local dealership. Shipped from CA., about a week to deliver once the order is placed.

 

Yeah, I like that ! Shiny!

 

I have heard good things about it. I think actually it's the same exhaust MazdaManiac has on his car.

 

man this forum moves too fast. Sounds like a new engine club here. I have about 20k on my new engine and I LOVE IT

 

I haven't heard of any '06 or newer needing a new engine. I think the OMP reflash probably saved the day.

 

My car looks so cold right now. I want winter to end right now.

 

Mine is snug in her nice little garage . . .

 

Wow . . I wasnt born till almost a decade after that. . . lol

 

Heh, heh. Mine is sitting on carpet in the garage, too. Snug as a bug...on a rug!

 

I just ordered some new motor mounts from Mazda, There is a new TSB out for them, looks like they changed the rubber material they are used, if anyone is wondering the cost is $250.16 for the mounts with tax and some shipping they are coming from Cali.

I was quoted $110 for install. But after seeing how easy it is, I think I'll save my money.

 

I was about 21 at the time. It was the second BN car I had purchased. I bought my first one at 18, it was my high-school graduation gift to myself, in June of '77.

A BN RX-7 in '79 cost me $10,300.00 out the door. Wish we could get a BN RX-8 for that today, lol.

 

What years does that TSB cover? I can't find it for 2007. There are only 3 for 2007 models, and 2 of them are actually the same thing (plastic insert for front stabilizer control link ball joint), the other one is the trunk switch.

 

Here is a link to the TSB, it was revised on 2-25-09. It's PDF format.

 

Thanks, looks like '04 & '05 only.

 

Yeah, lucky for you eh. Oh well my car needs them badly.

 

Only 18 Days !!!! WaaaHOOOOO haha

 

You've got access to a lift, right? I have 2 pairs of ramps, if they are any help.

I'm glad you're learning this car inside-out. One of these days I'm sure I'll wear something out or break it on mine!

 

I can see it now. On your first day with a legal license, you're going to get pulled-over and it will start all over again...


Edit: JK! Be CAREFUL! We like you at the meets!

 

OK, I ordered the Mazdaspeed exhaust at lunch today. It will be here on Monday. When it gets installed depends on the weather.

 

Yep, here at my work my boss has a lift and a hoist for us to use and be as safe as can be.

JT if/when it does happen I will be here as always to help in anyway I can.

18 days is nuthin' then you can let me know more about that clutch package.

 

Seriously . . . I could already tell a huge difference for the short few miles I drove it Cant wait till its broke in

 

Sweet, can't wait either.
