Also been referred to by many as a "mini nuclear reactor"

Cihuuy,
The later japanese model FD's came with a DP, instead of a pre-cat. I'm not sure as to what year mazda started doing this, but it was obviously because of the problems they ran on the American FD's.

Yep, theres nothing to loose by doing it. You gain HP, less heat, better reliability, less weight, etc. Emissions are not a problem either as long as the air pump, and main cat are working properly. As soon as I stop being lazy, I'm putting my DP on.

Quit looking at those asian chicks and get your *** in the garage and put your downpipe on now buster!!

Be sure to soak the studs in some PB blaster though.
