Something even more curious. I discovered that they also make, for the MS3, a 3.5" to 3" downpipe. Mazdaspeed 3.5" Downpipe Kit - YouTube In the video, they say, "the entire length of the downpipe is a full 3.5 inches and reduces down to that 3 inches at the very end". Okay. And they state...

Eh, closer to 3.15", but, true, not a big difference at all. (I did say the question was "academic") But CS actually lists it as a selling point. From their description on their cat-back. (Same verbiage on their MS3 and MS6 cat-backs) Mandrel bent, true 80mm piping for increased flow and...

I am basically happy with the exhaust I have, so, my question is basically academic. But I'm curious about CS's 80mm exhausts. They have them for the MS3 and the MS6. But their downpipes for the MS3 and MS6 are 3". I don't know of any competitor making an 80mm downpipe either. So, what is...

Okay, so I got confirmation from Corksport that the MS6 version of the 4” intake is the same thing as the version for the MS3 except that the MS6 version comes with a longer BOV hose. Which is pretty much what everybody figured. The weird thing is, Corksport actually specifically claimed that...

Just thought I'd mention some new MS6 parts from Corksport that I didn't see any announcement for. First, they did in fact release an MS6 specific version of their 4" intake. Though I have no idea what the actual difference is between the MS3 version and the MS6 version. I've not had any...

So, finally done! Note that the two runs are one with 50/50 E85 w/93 octane, and the second with 93. Only 566 HP with the 50/50 mix. Not bad but I was shooting for 600.

I would guess it is probably not a significant impact if I get a different size. The 1.25" seems to be out of stock in every color. Some colors have 1" and/or 1.5". If I had to pick one or the other, which way would you recommend? Or, should I just wait until the 1.25" are back?

Cool, thanks for the link. I didn't really understand the product before. What I understand now is that the Quick Latch is a standard item, while your Mazda 3 kit just makes installation on a 3 easier. But the basic product can be used by itself. So, I will get the basic product. Thanks...

Any chance of something similar for MS6???

Maybe its just because I used to have the HORRIBLE AWR mounts, but, I find the race bushings I got last year to be like floating in the clouds. If the street bushings were available last year I probably would have got them. But, I guess I'm glad I just got the race, they seem basically fine to...

Not sure what exactly those were. Were they like the AutoExe member brace kit? I don't remember seeing that particular CS product. I figured if anything, you would say I need your exhaust or turbo or manifolds or FMIC. I didn't happen to get yours for these, but, I'm good with what I've got...

I will finish decombobulating the stock seat and see what seems possible. Thanks.

Thanks for responding. After my OP, I did a bit of reading. For some more known cars like BMWs, there is online instructions on what resisters to use, or simple plug-in defeater kits you can buy. But, with our niche market, not so much.

I believe the stock overflow will work with the JMF with a stock radiator. I believe it was the extra thickness of the radiator that made it not work. But again, its not a big deal, easy to relocate.

I don't see an interior subforum, so I guess this goes here. I got some Braum racing seats. I haven't got very far in the install. I got the passenger seat removed. I got the Planted platform for the seats installed. Well, mostly, 3 out of 4 main mounting bolts are in. The forth doesn't line...

There was a 3" exhaust made by GHL. I think they made one for the 3 and one for the 6. I think they are out of business. It had good fitment on the 6. I heard it had fitment issues on the 3. I had one. I thought it was too damn loud. They might occasionally pop up on for sale ads or eBay...

I got an aluminum one. Kay... something or other. It is thicker than stock. Which is fine except one minor thing. The stock overflow tank won't fit with some intake manifolds, like my JMF with port injection. But, it is easy enough to get a generic overflow tank and relocate it.

So, I installed my EZ Oil Change Valve today. As you can see, the hole in the skid tray is off-center from the drain plug. I've got a 90 degree fitting on the valve. And with the hole on the skid as it comes, the 90 degree is right on the lip of the hole. After this picture was taken, I...

Didn't even get a thanks from CS for the plug... Oh well. Anyway, I have received the control arms and the intake manifold gasket. So, here is a quick pick of the CS stuff I have but not yet installed. Note that I have a V1 of the JMF manifold modified to have fuel rail. Essentially it is...

I originally had AWR. Nobody has mentioned them in this thread. I guess too old. The AWR mounts really, really, really sucked. I got the Damond full set of 3, and, it now feels virtually stock to me as far as vibes go. Most people say Damond is good, but, honestly, my results are better...
