I was in the process of replacing the stock Y-pipe when I noticed that the plastic brackets for my headlight covers are brittle and cracking.

Does anyone know of a good place (other than a Mazda dealer if possible) that stocks these things? I actually love the OEM pop-ups, so I have no desire to replace them with aftermarket units.

Moving on, I'm still trying to find the best way to get out the Y-Pipe. I've read the workshop manual and Rob Robinettes page, but I can't seem to find the bolts that hold on the pipe that goes to the rear of the turbos. Any input/help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

if you go under the car and look up right behind the second turbo, you will see the 2 ten mm nuts, just take that off to get that pipe from the rear turbo out.

Most people just use some JB Weld or some other epoxy on it.

That's what I thought. . . Under the car I look up and there's something that looks like a turbo, close to the bottom of the engine bay, so it's very easy to see. the are two bolts right behind it, but they are 12mm, not 10mm, and I'm a little cautious when messing with the 'ol car since I know how much it sucks when you screw something up.

I'd snap a photo, but my camera broke. anyway, the bolts I'm looking at are about 2 inches apart and are more to the center of the car than the precat/downpipe.
