you can order it from your local dealer's parts department. $220 is the MSRP. mazdastuff.com has it for $195, but they're so backlogged with orders you might be waiting for weeks before receiving it. I got mine in 3 business days from my local dealer.

and before you start asking for the part number, do a search or scroll back in this thread, it's listed all over the place.

 

K thanks man.

 

www.mazdastuff.com should have them. Click on 2002 Protege, then 01-02 Protege Performance.

with my Handheld PC handy, I took a quick drive and recorded a few sounds from within the cabin.

Ask and you shall get, so here they are:

1. getting in the car and turning on the engine, and backing out.

2. taking off from a green light. You can hear the constant 'drone' toward the end of the recording.

3. another taking off from green light, but this time floored it at takeoff, listen to that roar!
