    should I go with the cpe single or dual exhaust

    I went with the cp-e dual catback along with the DP. It is true that you will get a FEW more ponies out of a single, but it is really negligible. Plus, the single exhaust is MUCH louder, and the dual is already loud (though I like it). To me, the few ponies gained from a single is not worth the...

    trying to decide...what are the benefits?

    Robby... I have the Stage 1 short shifter with the metal bushings. The best way to describe it is simply you get more precise shifts with less travel on your throws (as the name implies (yes)). Stock is very long and sloppy imho. Many people don't think so until they install or try out...

    Ebay chip, bogus????

    I'd stay far, far away from that. Stick with the companies that are well known to really engineer solutions and can be contacted if there are any issues. Cobb and cp-e for example. Plus, with well known and used solutions such as these, there are tons of people on the forums that have had...

    HKS Blowoff Valve Issue

    +1 on the possibility of fuel cut. This is especially true in really cold weather, and looks from your sig you are in a pretty cold place. Not saying that is it, but very possible. There is a fix for this through an ECU flash from cp-e if you are interested.

    Black Paint

    My last 3 cars have been black. I just like the color on a car better than anything else. I will agree with all who say its the hardest to keep clean, but its the best looking when it is... IMHO. With this MS6, I am now going for the total blackout look. Yeah.. sometimes I don't get to clean...

    P3 performace center installs/meet

    Thanks everyone for the info. I used to live in Fairfax so I am pretty familiar with the area. It's not too far of a drive... and really, now that I am in the speed6 I enjoy a good drive! Still would be cool if we could get some install days in MD... but still not a big deal.

    Stay Away From Castle Mazda In Silver Spring!!!

    I wonder if this place used to be the DARCARS Mazda? I remember DARCARS Mazda was in College Park, and they were ok. Then they moved to Silver Spring, and that place was TERRIBLE! I stopped going there, even though I still had time left on my DARCARS service package. Now I think this has...

    maryland inspection

    Word of caution: Maryland probably has one of the toughest inspections in the US. You only have to do it once, and they make sure they bleed you for all you have. Take the car to a trustworthy mechanic first, and take care of anything that is questionable... ANYTHING. I think the MVA website...

    Welcome. I am new here too, though looks like you have had your speed6 longer than me. I'd be interested to hear which CAI did you purchase and how it has improved things.

    Just found and joined you guys.

    Before picking up my Speed6 2 weeks ago, I hadn't driven a stick in a LONG time. It already feels natural and I never want to go back to a slushbox. You'll love it. Congrats.

    Going to get MS6 today?

    weak I have a wife too... and kids. She called me while I was at the dealer and said I shouldn't give up the Protege5 (which was stock and dying). She was worried about it being a manual tranny. She was worried about the payments. Etc, Etc. I said... "uhhh... that minivan I got you that you...

    Greetings everyone. I have been researching cars for a while and finally got a 2007 Black Mica Speed6 GT. I am coming from a 2002 Protege5. What an unbelievable difference! Zoom Zoom has a whole new meaning now. I have had the car for two weeks, so of course it is still bone stock. Looking...
