Cork Sport Exhaust
I have to agree with 09! It is a beautiful exhaust, and I mean it from its intake to those lovely extra-thick appearing exhaust tips! But they do collect more oil than the stock ones because of that. 
Just wipe off when cool using a larger size disposable rag, I use a Shop Towel, dampened with Simple Green.

I did blue-j's. only problem we had was the springs between the cat pipe and the exhaust pipe. All of the welds are done by hand and the radiusing of the exhaust pipe mouth is hand done as well. It is really nicely put together.

Maybe I could even get my Derwankel rear light in finally!

I'm driving out to Albuquerque this weekend, so that would mean yet another month where I haven't slept in my own bed for more than 5 days at a time.

Hey AZ-RX8U we missed you yesterday big time 
The 2nd Annual MazFest weekend sounds pretty cool. Looks like it's part Mazda car show and part Mazda car track time (guaranteed 2 hours track time!) right? Maybe something like SevenStock but for all Mazdas, pistons and rotaries alike? The 2005 pictures gallery looks awesome!
Check out the MazFest thread here for more active and current info. There's still a few spots open for the Sunday track day!

My CS was popin' on decel for a bit. Then I came across Ethos Fuel Reformulator, and after 3 tanks, my pop stopped, and the MPG is up 10%. Great stuff at 1.5 oz. per tank.

It is a fuel/oil/coolant soluable ester-based add-in.
