alright, ill give you that. and if/when you do the 4.777 final, im sure it will make an even bigger difference....its just not the car to buy if you want to make power easily. I think the car is more about the driving experience than bragging rights and burnouts. It has to be. lol
and rx8thunder, maybe you can take me for a spin when i drop off the wheel at your place after the cruise to see the difference it makes, im curious now. I've never driven/been in an 8 with a suposed 25 extra whp. that seems like it would be a bigger difference than 10-15 bhp.

That's what I heard to pros., but it's more expensive.
It's like a puzzle piecing it together...one part affects another, especially when it comes to air flow. Put a turbo on with stock everything else, will just kill the turbo in power, open up the air flow and the difference would be huge. I would love to do CATless, or a high flow cat that wouldn't melt, but catless isn't worth the tickets or smell to me. Even tho our Ozone layer is fuked, I don't want to be adding to that as well. I'm NOT a tree huger just my own personal thing.

Hey guys joe for RPM called me yesterday and said that the car is running good but isn't tuned and wont be until monday because the tuner guy is gone for the long weekend so that means I got no car for the cruise and I can't go. Sorry guys I am missing out on a big event and it's going to be amazing. Whens the next meet before mosport .

Had a bit of a scare yesterday, AFE shifter had been resceduled for delivery, however its back on track now. All three items left today for delivery. So that's my rims, the leds, and my short shifter.
WOOT WOOT WOOT!!! Only two more days.

*sigh* having problems guys....and work is closed today so i cant diagnose it. Hopefully the sales department is open tomorrow so i can get in the shop and see if i can figure this thing out. if i cant though....i dont think i'll be able to keep up with everyone on the cruise, so drive slow for me...also, my car sounds like absolute **** when i get on the gas in the high revs....so i'll have to keep quiet in the tunnel. I'm really upset about this.....how come this has to happen on a long weekend, and the long weekend before a big cruise. FACK!

major power loss in high revs. Insanely raspy/growl/rattle noise starting at 5500rpm. Sometimes the noise goes away sometime after 7 grand and power comes back at bit. Also, when the car isnt quite warm this doesnt seem to be a problem, or at least i dont hear the rasp. Im thinking maybe cat....but this rasp noise is strange, also, with the way the power comes and goes it could also been soemthing to do with the SSV. no CELs.
I dont see why i cant go on the cruise, just wont be able to keep up if every decides to take off. lol

chris_rx8 Damn man that sucks!! I never do big stuff like that before events cause it always takes longer. One meet at a time lol. Not sure if there is one before mosport or not. There will be lots of photos I'm sure.
Pros - woot woot!! Good ****! UPS right?!? Mine did the same things, unexpected circumstances or some crap, then back on time lol.
Gerg - kinda sounds like your cat, but weird it opens back up and you would get a CEL. Go figure, of course on the one day of the week you can't get into the shop. Of course we will wait for you, but there might be times we WOT, but we will slow down so you can keep up. Get her fixed up!

Greg came down to Al's and we swapped his pipe. His revs are climbing smoother and his noise that he was hearing left too, hopefully he has more to report back after his drive back home.

LOL, if it is the baffles in the OEM muffler, how does that work? Does Mazda just get you a new exhaust? Or can you pay the difference and upgrade?
Wonder what that sound is coming from? At least you'll have your own unique sound in the tunnel on Sunday!
I can official say that no one will be upset at me now, lol!
