i understand

 

has anyone else who installed the TurboXS midpipe ran into issues of the hanger? I cant get the bolt that connects the midpipe to the car... with that hanger in the way. WTF!!!

Is this the hanger you mean?

No problem with the bolts but had to bend the hanger so as to not touch the frame.

 

thats why I assembled it as one piece then put it on the car... I hate tightening bolts under the car. And the springloaded bolts are a bitch.

 

Here's a picture i took of it this morning when doing the install. This really pissed me off. Had to do some impromptu metal cutting at 3 in the morning.

 

^^^ same thing happened to me. But to less of an extent. I got it through with a rubber mallet.

 

i put the bolts through from the other side. solved

 

The mechanic fitting my exhaust simply replaced those spring things with standard bolts. No problems.

Me to.

 

me 3 :-)

 

I coulnt get the housing that goes around the bolt to fit in the other side. I guess if you just used a regular nut instead of the spring loaded ones.. it would work.

has anyone messed around with the silencers? i had them out for the first couple of weeks, but then went on a road trip for a total of about 13 hrs of driving, so i wanted them in for that. now, they will NOT come out. its like they are almost fused together, any ideas? they are seriously stuck

 

I removed mine after about 4/5 weeks of driving. It did take the use of 2 pliers and a lot of force twisting and pulling before they came out. I guess a little WD40 or similar would help a bit also.

 

ya i recently put the silencers in and they weren't the easiest thing to put in. To be honest i kinda like the look w/ the silencers :x

 

mine went in really easy, but not out. i bet they are so restrictive, kinda counterproductive to the point of the exhaust.

 

Got the Hymee sCANalyser so as to find out why I have the CEL since we fitted the TurboXS exhaust system.
It gave me code P0030 (front H02S heater control circuit problem) and code P0031 (front H02S heater control circuit low). I dont think that this problem had anything to do with the new exhaust system as I have put back the stock header and stock CAT pipe and still have the CEL.
At this point I think that I need a new 'Front 02 Sensor'? which I priced from my local Mazda dealer and he wants just over us$666 (€500) for the part?

Anybody know of an online retailer for the front 02 sensor and ships internationally?

 

i think the codes are for a water sensor...

trussvile
rosenthal
or online mazda parts.

all in vendor section.

see if they will ship int..

[QUOTE=swoope]i think the codes are for a water sensor...

The codes are definitely for the front 02 (H02S) sensor which is a 4 wire type. The heater is used to maintain a high (above 300'c) temprature and appears to have malfunctioned.

I will try and contact those dealers as you suggested, thanks.

but no problem...

PM me your part number and I'll see if it matches the US spec, seems like I saw them for under $200USD here

 

Thanks for the help, I will get the part number from the dealer tomorrow and let you know.
