street3890 Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 I am unfortunitely getting rid of my milly!!! the front cat converter has been giving me problems from day 1, its around a $1000+ fix...i'd rather not spend the money on parts for this car. I've gotten from many different mechanics that the millenis is one of the worst cars to work on. Very expensive and rare. I'm actually upgrading alittle i'm most likely goin with an 08' speed3.

DoN_BLaZe34 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 i'll swap exhausts with you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
street3890 Posted October 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 i dont have a resonator and i upgraded from the cat back 2.5" pipes im getting rid of it pretty soon. idk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 You son of a bitch, thats not an upgrade  WTF do you mean its been giving you trouble  wait wait wait, you WILL tell me what octane gas you've been running.  Next you'll simply cut it off and leave it off or get a cheap 50 dollar replacement.  Oh, and if your still crazy enough to be asian or an obama voter and you do get rid of it then you WILL trade exhausts with don blaze, a simple swap.

DoN_BLaZe34 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Will i not pass inspection w/o a resonator? if so, can't i get a one put on? how soon is soon? now sure how much work would be involved in swapping them out, but i can move quickly on this so long as you can...I'd really hate to see that thing go to stranger..

mohamedeladawy@hotmail.com Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 a replacement cat is like 70 bucks at best at jegs performance. u can replace that and sell the car and get more for it than a trade in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 it will pass, but your reasoning for getting rid of it is flawed, asian even. Even if your talking about the precats just get a cheap replacement, hollow it out and get a bigger main cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelOfDeath Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 (Ok here it comes , you asked for it) Â A: What is wrong with you?!?!! B. You got to be joking that your gonna buy a 08 Mazdaspeed 3 .... You better be getting a huge deal for it cause your crazy to take on payments right now. 08 Speed3 with decent low miles is around 20k give or take. So you rather take payments than $1,000 to fix the Milly, and you put work into it? Is it me or is something wrong with this picture. You can say all you want that "oh it will have warranty and all this torque,ect". NO, pay the 1,000 bucks and have no payments on your ride. And if you are still on payments for the milly , then keep it and just get it fix it will be cheaper in the long run. The milly resell value ( no thanks to mazda on this) is next to nothing, but it is a nice ride for what you paid for it. (BHR wont like this) But the Ladies love the milly and you do too. Come on is that big of a deal, work a extra few shifts or what not, and get it fixed. There are aftermarket cats that will be fine if not better for the exhaust.(Am I right bhr??) Yes , the milly is hard to work on but that wouldn't be different than any other mid-luxury car. Your freakin mazda speed 3 wont be any different with that turbo in it. Â BHR - Show him your wrath please! Â Now the whole exhaust thing ... just like bhr, and don has said ...meet up with Don to trade exhaust somewhere cause that remus should not be going to a stranger. Don- (depending where you live will play factor as to the inspection) jegs, jc, and bunch of places on line have resonator between 40-60 bucks and i think thats mangaflows too . Buy one and when you 2 switch and have it installed , just add the resonator then bam! A nice sweet exhaust. Can't remember if you have an s or not but I know the L milly with remus was sweet! had it done to mine. Â With that said I am going to bed anger! (mubling: can't believe he would do such a thing) Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

street3890 Posted October 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 say whatev you want...the one im looking at is $19000 with 14000 miles on it...thats brand new! My milly's suspension is all fucked up as well, with 110000 miles on it, the struts are shot. Listen i love my milly. im not hating on it at all but give me a fcuking break i dont give a fuck what you's think!!! The speed3's reviews are amazing it beats everything that car and driver has put it up against including the new genisis coupe, the lancer ralli art, the wrx, mini cooper, civic si, vw r32, and many more!!! i've personally driven one and i love it!!!   and soon is like this week. I'm sorry that yous feel this way but im sick of getting pulled over for having 2 failed inspection stickers, and im sick of hearing the banging of my suspension. I will always love and respect the milly  I spent $6700 on my milly and with this $1000+ dollar cat. fix i'd exceed that amount! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troutman Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 I can sympathise as I was was at a time in the same situation and made a similar decision, but nonetheless I request the input of the Good Dr Pikachu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

///BHRpowered Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 steve, let me explain, your WRONG, yes maybe a factory replacement would cost 1000, but keep in mind mts had CUSTOM headers built andinstalled for less then that  Get a used part for cheap, or CUT OUT the cats, there was a great discussion awhile ago about how you don't even need them.  As I stated, get rid of them. Buying a new car is just stupid. As angel pointded out your going to incure massive new costs, and what if those cats are bad, what then? Don't be a obama and get credit you don't need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
