Thanks guys for letting me know all of this. I had know idea it melts the bumper! It is a long story, but I have my warranty back now. Some dumb *** manager at Mazda voided my warranty because of my CAI and Greddy exhaust. I had to call Mazda North America and I ended up getting my warranty back by making the car completely stock.

What exhaust should I get now?

Well before I had to take my exhaust off I had the Veilside bumper on and the Greddy exhaust on for over a year and I have had no problems.

Your 8 looks well cared for. Maybe get a camera with anti-shake next time.

Yea I have been looking at that. Just might do that now. Is that suppose to be better than the Greddy? Or at least sound better? I love the sound of the Greddy SP2 exhaust.
