Replaced with Injen system

Sorry man, can't remember. Went out about '07, but not that much labor plus OEM bearing.

Just turned 200,000 miles on my '03. In 13 years, have changed one timing belt, one left front wheel bearing, numerous sets of brake pads and various tire sets. That's it. The reason we have owned and continue to buy Mazdas when needed. BTW, the '5 still runs as new.

Just returned from a RT Denver to Steamboat Springs, Colorado. On the way, thought fuel gauge was dead as there seemed no movement off empty after nearly 150 miles. Finally dropped off the peg. Figured we didn't need fuel to return to Denver with well more than a half tank showing in Steamboat...

Yo buds. Looking for OEM new or excellent used RH P5 headlight unit. Don't want to redo U.S. Chrome version. Depot aftermarket unit sucks. @

I'm running a 4-2-1 header with a single minicat installed just behind. The cat included a bung at the back for the second factory O2 sensor; the first (which went into the OEM garbage can precat on the factory header) plugs directly into my 4-2-1. Behind the minicat is a Magnaflow resonator...

Looks like a Waste Management garbage wagon owned by a cretin.

I'm running a 4-2-1 header with built-in bung for first O2 sensor (eliminated the garbage can precat), into an 8" long minicat with built-in bung on back end for second O2 sensor about 6" behind the header, into a Magnaflow resonator, then into a Magnaflow cat back. So: header, minicat...

I have no problems. Choose what you wish.

The_big_dill, You apparently misinterpreted the comments on iridium plugs. Direct quote from the CARiD article: "Iridium-tipped...offer better power, more complete combustion that leads to smooth-running engines, and a longer lifespan than copper plugs."
