    what test pipe do you have? my vote for DP is ATP https://edgeautosport.com/atp-turbo-upper-downpipe-3-mazdaspeed-3-2007-2013/ I hear the CS one is decent with the divorce tube as well

    They should, but nothing wrong with snagging a CS DP, memorial day sales are starting, now would be a good time to get it.

    As long as it's not the divorced design

    The ATP will not mate up with the CS testpipe. ATP uses a flat flange and all CS stuff uses the donut style. I'd go with the CS or just go long DP.

    Just did front brake and rotors with some generic OEM replacements, the price was right lol. Stopping force seems pretty close to stock ford shoes. Maybe alittle less initial bite. Also when I was out there Installed the hood scope vent. Need to see how that will effect bats but that's problem for future self.

    There from Autoshack up here in Canada, there generic performance Ceramic and corrosion resistant rotors.
    Price was right $280 cad includes 1 free replacement of everything. So essentially getting 2 sets of pads and 2 sets of rotors for that price

    Picked up a Motomaster Eliminator AGM battery, and installed it, the car is alive once again.

    I'm thinking of picking up one of these to replace the broken trunk switch.



    I really only need the outer shroud of the switch and not the switch at all, my switch works but the plastic outer ring cracked, so now it's just dangling. Maybe I could just fab one up with a 3d printer.
