Yesterday i was detailing my car, getting it ready for Hot import nights (boston). Once i was done though, there was one problem. I couldn't start it.Flooded. My car looked so good getting towed on the back of a flatbed...lol. I let the service manager at quirk mazda in quincy know that i had to have my car ready for roll in thats happening today. he was real cool about it. said i would have it by 12 today. I got a call at 10:30 saying my car was ready. here is the good part , i guess. He said they replaced the battery, 4 new spark plugs, new catalitic converter, stater, and reprogramed the ecu. I have one of 04's that i guess got this bulletin. I never got it. It was about 2000 dollars worth of work they did to the car all covered under warranty(they didn't have to do this b/c i have an aftermarket exhaust on the car. This guy was so nice. definitely going back there. He said i would notice a remarkable difference in my horsepower and performance. I can't wait to get. I want to drive it. i'll let you guys know what happens. This is also the longest post i have written...sorry just a little excited.

This was done to mine a while ago. This was a TSB, not a recall. So, there would have been no notice sent to owners. And for my final point, it should be covered under warrenty. A flood issue has nothing to do with your aftermarket exhaust system. You have federal law on you side on that one.
Good Luck and Happy Driving.

well its cool that he's getting it out to you quickly even with all that work.

i think he was meaning the catalytic converter not having to be replaced cause of the aftermarket exhaust

shortcrakr, they are right that you will notice some bump up in power. I had the same done on my 8 and I have an AEM CAI and Borla catback. When I got it back, it definitely had a little more pep.
