Re: PAINT PROBLEM...Ahhhhh!!!

i was told by a dealer that around 92 mazda was playing with some new paint additives that made the paint extreamly hard but it made it not bound to the metal as well. dont know if its true but sound like a good explanation.

Re: Exhaust Poll

2.25 cat back magnaflow mufler no resonator stock cat. sound really deap under 3000 and almost unaudioble above 3000. call me a freak but i'd rather hear the engine than the exhaust. even under 3000 it barly breaks 75db. the sound also changes as it warms up. kinda trippy but cool!
