    well, I did some more exhaust work last night. haven't got a chance to drive it yet, but I'll find out after my 6-hour drive today. I'll post up when I get back next monday evening.

      had to take the ol lady to work yesterday, it was all good, went to move my car to let the cement guys get to pool in the back yard to do the patio behind the house, and the car ran like ****. eventually figured out the fuse for the fuel pump under the back seat had corroded and started getting hot, then made all sorts of issues for me. stupid ford wiring... on a side note between this and my wastegate on the olf vf8 being slightly stuck, my car should run like a ****ing top....lol... gotta retune now, my whole maps really rich now by almost a whole point...lol... fun fun fun....

            lol. The only thing i hear in the highway is road noise. Really dnt hear the exhaust at all.

              freshly re-graded road leaving the resort hid a rock that ripped my exhaust off. split the exhaust in two to make it fit in the car, turned around to go back to the chalet and it chucked an alternator belt.

              9 hours from home, in a country whose language I only sort of understand. this is pretty awesome.

                        Ah, isn't taking a car "better" than yours great?! Around here most fun runs end in a ricer fly-by and a brake check. I miss a good conversation at the next light! Whomped an Acura a while back and at the next light, he said, "That must have a BP in it!" He was the only non-Mazda driver that ever had a clue of what lurks under the hood.

                          I'd take a ripped off exhaust rather than this.. I'm 11 hours from home. lol. ****ty part is I wasn't even boosting, just cruising.
