Where in Towson are you Rotr8? I drive through Towson everyday on my way home from school (GBMC). I go up Towsontown Blvd to York Road and through the traffic circle to Dulaney Valley. I wonder if I've ever passed you?

I might try to make it to the Fuddrucker's meet in Columbia... but I don't want to go by myself... since I don't know anyone... and I'm a loser. Plus I don't want to be the only lady

I wasn't being hard on myself, I was kidding. I'd like to go. It's my birthday weekend! Who's buying me a drink????

My wife will be there, so you won't be the only lady! Unfortunately my bassist with the Stormy Blue will be out of town, so it will just be me, my wife and my Shinka.

I'm sure there will be plenty of volunteers.

^^ ha, try getting your car back from the body shop after hitting a deer. then 2 days later, come out from the movies to see your entire drivers side smashed in because someone couldn't park.

that was a very low point in my RX8 life...

can you get bolts in between and then bolt it into place?

pics?

i drove around for a few days with my cat not connected to my catback. it was loud but i was fine.

raphy3

my god hearing about some of the damage stories is horrifying. Do people hate our car and purposefully target it or something?

flipRx8

well i got some help and i removed the whole system...my problem now is having bolts to connect the strait pipe onto my mazdaspeed exhaust...the one with the springs...should i just go out and buy some new bolts?...cuz these are prety rusted on....also i noticed...Mazda must of unbolted my cat...cuz when i was taking it off it was new bolts..and they were all mis matching bolts..

I'm curious, did you have a lift to put the car up on, or just put it on jacks to get the cat out. I was going to drop my cat to check for thermal damage the other day, I put it up on jacks, but it's really hard to get leverage and the bolts are on extremely tight. I ended up just looking for external damage rather than dropping it, but I'm pretty sure I have a blockage and would really like to remove it to check. If I do have a blockage I'm planning to order a RP supercat and replace the stock one.

Don't forget: Unless you have very high miles, your catalytic converter is covered under warranty. Even if you want to put a Supercat on, go get the new, $1200 factory cat for free from the dealer first. Then tuck it away in a safe place when you get the RP.

I changed my cat and I can definitely tell you that you'll need a breaker bar at least for the bolts on the joint between the end of the cat and the exhaust.

This man, he speaks with the lack of crazy...

And I admire the Freudian slip on Harbor Freight. Sometimes you get a tool that damn well SHOULD have failed tech inspection, and it waits until YOU stress it.
