Been a busy week

Happy to say, finally was able to do some mod's to my car! First off , got a Hymee exhaust through MazdaParts.Com! Sounds totally awesome , love it to death. Got some accents pieces through Trustville and Rosenthal , front and rear rotary , and b-pillars. This evening I installed the short throw shifter from Richard Paul , and put on the Whiteline adjustable sway bars that I got from DPE! Thanks to the people with the DIY's! Helped a whole lot. If I hadn't read them I would have more busted knuckles then just the one I got . I have the RP ram duct, and waiting on my intake to arrive,and then I'll install it. I went with the CYwerks carbon fiber intake. Here is some pics. I didn't do the work on installing the exhaust , didn't have anything to heat the pipe with!

I love it, I thought I wasn't going to after reading the TurboX muffler system came out. I was sitting here looking at my Hymee when I came across the tread about it. Sounds awesome, the tone is deep , not loud unless you are into it fully. I have no way of making a sound clip of it, but I love it. When I first drove it, seemed to have added some horses.

the main pipe is aluminized steel correct? Looks like it's corroding. Besides that the muffler looks top notch.

Any pics of the intake?

Goodjob with the mods.

Is there an RP intake? Or did you mean to say RB (racingbeat)?

If that "Hymee" just had a mid-pipe...then it would be a cat-back!
