As a funny side note:
True story verified by Mazda Factory, the SP cars were mandated by the factory to run with THREE! welded in washers of 2.5" size along the 3" after market exhaust! this was done to reduce the mass flow and thus power of the "released to public cars" (25 originals that were made) Walker manufacturing who were contracted to make the systems indeed confirmed that this is what they did and when I got my car (still fitted with Walker factory 3" SP exhaust), it did have the welded in washers LOL!!!!
Soon as you removed these the car had another 50++bhp more! and was very quick indeed. Much faster than in that article, I had allot of testing of the original SP set up with non molested restricted exhaust. For a twin turbo factory set up they were fast as for the period. Mine had around 380bhp in unrestricted & tuned ECU form.
In its current guise it has double that again! should get around to posting up some new specifications
