I got a hold of Morande Mazda. Rick the service manager at first didn't even want to hear my idea of sending pics to him of my muffler so I don't have to take 2 days off of work and make 2 appointments, and drive 4 hours total both ways. He finally said ok, I sent him the pics. I called him today and he says he needs to let Mazda know but he doesn't see a problem. I told him there were people all over the country and Canada with this problem. So he's guuna hear back from Mazda and then order me one.
Yeah mine is cracked, that is one reason I got an aftermarket muffler. I figured that Mazda wouldn't do anything. I am thinking about putting it back on or maybe just calling and talking to the service guy. They have been pretty good with me so far,so we will see

sorry bro. you should have given them the part # for the mazdaspeed one, thats what i did. owell, free mufflerI just called the parts manager and asked him about the muffler that they looked up. The actual part number is FsF1-40-100c. But I mentioned to him that a lot of people on the board that a frequent (no life) usually have a different muffler. Guess what? He asked me for the part number and said he'll get this for me instead. I'm so freaking lucky...I just wish they'll replace my bushings though...
Dude, they were trying to order me a #0000-88C14, part # doesn't even exist when I called the parts center....called my service writer back, after I double checked with another Mazda what the mazdaspeed # was, 0000-8M-C09, and he said he'll look into it and thought that he should have that in stock. I told him that I would come by today and switch it in the parking lot myself. It's only two bolts for christs sake..... I'm waiting on a call back from him right now to see what's up. Keeping my fingers crossed... maybe that part # that they had was for the 03.5 muffler when they had them... who knows... I want my mazdaspeed muffler.Ryoga28 said:
woo woo I just talked to my dealership and they are going to replace it for me even though the muffler is off the car. I got a custom exhaust done a while back b.c of the crack but figured mazda wouldn't do anything about so I didn't say anything till this thread. They told me to drop off the muffler and they will order the new one. Yay 
Thanks for this thread
p.s Will this bolt up to a 2.5" exhaust or will I have to have it custom put on?

UPDATE: The muffler number #MZ 0000-88C14, he says it's a Mazdaspeed muffler for the speed (or protege). If anyone knows anything about this part number or muffler please post. I'm going to Mazda tomorrow to look in the mazdaspeed catalog to try and find this number.
#MZ 0000-88C14...what the hell is up with my dealer telling me this part number. I told him the one that we have on here and he said, nope, this is the part number. I'm going down tomorrow morning to another mazda to look at the mazdaspeed catalog, unless someone here has access to one.
UPDATE: That stock replacement part number is replaced with the 8M-C09 part # which is a Mazdaspeed muffler with round tip. Sorry if you thought you would get a racing beat muffler, they don't have any at all. I went today to ask when the hell my muffler was coming in and what do you know, after an hour with the parts tech we figured it out. If your muffler is cracked and you have a cool service writer, your going to get what everyone else here is. I'm going back after work to have the nice chromie one put on.. Oh yeah.... score one for the MSP's.Rawyzf said:
