At first i thought it was my cone filter being loose because it's happened once before and produced a similar sound - but i checked it and nothing wrong - i got it scanned (because i have a cel from my broken cat) and no beans aside from the p0420 - i did some research and all i got was info about noise from the axel (not it) and something about my tranny - i really hope it's not my tranny because it has slipped once before - but i'm wondering if it would make this kinda noise only at high rpms?? and the noise isn't there when i'm cruising - only when i push it to red-line -

but thanks for looking out dude - i'll def hit you up about it soon!
sounds like you haz a vacuum leak somewheres...prolly the accordian t00be...

the clogged cat is going to produce severe power loss as it gets worse...

but sounds like i should ride passenger in the car to see what might be going on...

OEM coils are usually good for about 40k before they start flaking...there is a test you can do to check em if your suspect about it...

I had just changed my plugs before mazda replaced the engine and trans...$90 bucks for nothing...ugh...

As soon as my OEM coils start to go south, BHR/MM's coil upgrade is the way to go...especially considering the cost vs. performance vs. longevity issues with the OEM's...
