It's nice, but the FD just looks better, imho.

What I am really curious about is the long term life expectancy of the exhaust splitter in that centre plate. Its required to prevent the hot exhaust gases from one rotor chamber blowing into the other. However, due to its thickness, I wonder how long it will last at those extremely high rotary temperatures.

Will it fatigue, crack off (eventually) & get blown out the exhaust or will a exhaust pulse blow it into the next rotor chamber (with distasterous results). I sure hope Mazda have thought that one through...............

I don't get the exhaust setup at all, seems silly.
