No shit, within 60 seconds, she comes down and asks if I am spilling gas.
Hmmm, no exhaust leaks that I can detect. Guess it's time for the RB exhaust system.

Also, will having the line that went to the charcoal canister open vented be an issue?

And if you have stock cats (even gutted) then they leak as well...if you pry off the heat shielding, the case cracks at all 4 corners and to seal it you have to weld a small bead to seal the cracks.

This is why most people just take the whole front section out and have a solid pipe welded from the manifold back to the Y, to prevent the possibility of leaks. Even if you didnt think you had leaks before, you'll be surprised how much quieter your car can be once the small collective leaks are sealed.
I have a straight pipe from the manifold to the y pipe. Maybe there's a leak where the downpipe connects to the straight pipe.

I like the vert, but I'll be damned if those seats aren't the ugliest things ever. What was Mazda thinking?

I dunno but they are damn comfy seats, and some soft leather to boot.
Snapped just a few more pics after we got the garbage pile cleanedup and the lawnmower hauled off for repairs.

That's what I'm doing... since both my pre cats are hollow, and my main cat seems to be clogged...

And verts are DAMN comfortable to get in and go down the road with the top down. No more making a conscious effort not to hit your head on the coupe roof when you get in and out.
well... it's not that hard to pull the dash...
