Area around shifter gets very warm
Hey just got my 1993 mazda rx-7 and i noticed that the area you would rest your arm on gets rather warm, what is causing that and how to i get it fixed?

Definaly cats. Mine were on thier way out, after a long spirited drive, you could barely hold onto the shifter below the ****. Cats went away, so did the problem. Have fun my friend

i heard that it's common for the center area to heat up. if it's heating up excessively, maybe check the oil in the tranny? maybe it's time for a tranny flush.

yeah it definitely gets louder but its not completely horrifying like a straightpipe to fart can or anything. just keep your OEM mufflers, or if you're really worried replace the cats with a resonator and you should be fine.

I still run the oem exhaust, and live in a city that frowns upon loud exhausts like yourself. It's fine, not loud at all. Kept the shell, just knocked out the insides and reinstalled. Let me know how it goes.
