I had never heard of Wagner either until a couple of months back, but they have come on strong with us and they have a huge following in the Protege crowd. They are real friendly guys, as for their work, well there is currently a twin turbo Mazda6 3.0L driving around that was their doing. They are considering selling a single turbo unit mostly though, which could mean an alternative to the ADC kit. Not going to hijack this thread with pictures, but you can check out Kit's (the twin turbo Wagner-built Mazda6) at his Cardomain website: http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/569899/1 DCSports and HotShot have stalled on us for the longest (Not like we want HotShot after the fiery Probe event). They are welcome to anyone stopping by their shop, so just call ahead and see if you can stop on by. Pictures and fitting of the SS headers will be done by next week by a few of my other Mazda6 owners.

Drag your CDW27 platform on down there & check to see if the EGR bung will be in the right location. O2 bungs are no big deal, those can be added as needed by any local shop...
If I can unload the BMW in the next month, I might be the first victim of these headers. 
Still going forward with my stock manifold mod idea though.

Just to let you guys know, a forum sponsor from one of my 6 forums will be doing a group buy for these headers, as with any group buy, the number of people who can commit, can lower the price. Just think, picking up a pair of SS headers for the 'Tour for $400 or $450...
I will drop further information as it becomes available.

Wagner has recieved their mandrel bender, so less weld points on the finalized product, they also have a Mustang dyno on site, so dyno testing will be immediate after fitment is finished.

How does gutting the precats effect the sound of the exhaust? Does it rasp more/less, louder/quieter, ect...

Rasp and more fart I believe.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Stazi said that once?

Made very little difference when I did mine - almost nothing noticable. MAYBE a little drone.

Depends on what cat-back you have.
