It would be like a CR3 super meet if the 4 of us got together. I'll invite Ivan too!

JT might be visiting next month. I can't wait to check out the SC'ed P5!
 
Honestly, Ohio has terrible roads, we get a ton of snow and salt the roads so our cars rust away but the Mazda scene here is pretty awesome. Most of my closest friends are Mazda owners here.
 
Oh yeah, those roads look terrible... Shut up. Hahaha

So i get the really bad end of the stick, no mazda guys and bad roads.... lol

You should see some of the roads where I live lol and there's a good distance between me and members. I went to high school with a newly joined p5 owner. Have yet to "meet" since mine is an MSP aka broken lol

selling your exhaust you say? its the racing beat yes? how much would you have to have?
 
My state has the most paved roads in the country. Anything from dirt trails to giant highways. Flat roads, mountain roads, curvy roads, straight roads, lakes, beaches. Large Mazda scenes in the large cities like Charlotte and Raleigh. Rust isn't really a problem. You can get away with super loud exhausts, emissions, no hood, bright lights. You only need 1 license plate so your front can look all sexy. Cost of living is CHEAP. I can't complain
 
AJ- it's the Racing Beat with a catless midpipe. But remember it's got the short exhaust tip for the P5, might be too short for your sedan. If you're interested I'm sure we can work something out since Corey wants the long block. ;)

Cam- I'm moving down there then. NC has a pretty good music scene too. And the people there are cool as hell. My old band always used to stop in NC and SC for gigs and always had good turn outs for live music. Live music here in Ohio is pretty much dead. Wow, I'm getting way off topic.
 
yeah i always enjoyed visiting my friends in Charlotte, such a nice area and is a place on my list if i decide i gotta get out of Pittsburgh, haha
 
I just googled "Hawaii highway". haha

How's this? (this is from a Canadian website though)

I believe you your roads are probably poopie. Just all the pics I've seen in magazines or videos in Hawaii the highways are as beautiful as the scenery. :)

edit- AJ, I passed E-Check with this exhaust. I just chatted up the old timers working there so they didn't bother the visual inspection.
 
Lol we don't have emission testing here, I just want the cats cuz I'm raspy lol
 
Ahhhh, gotcha. Lucky bastard. Honestly, with the OBX style header, catless midpipe and Racing Beat exhaust it's not raspy at all. I think there is a slight exhaust leak somewhere (might be another crack on the cheap header) but it's not raspy. I figured I would take video of the exhaust and motor before I pulled everything so buyers knew everything was peachy keen.

What do you think about $200 for the complete exhaust? But I'll need cash up front this time, buddy. Haha ;)
