How's the wheel arch insulation and where you did yours? From your experience, did the insulation reduce noise level significantly? Another factor to consider is the price difference between 17" and 19" tyres. 19" are much more costly.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did wheel arc insulation myself. Front I use dynamat and taobao sponge type insulation pad. Rear I only use taobao sponge type insulation pad. Basically after insulation I don't hear anymore stone or debris hitting at the wheel arch but road noise not reduced significantly but softer..probably some of the road noise coming through by vibration through car body, window, engine bay etc. Edited February 19, 2016 by War3craft2003 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impressed! Probably I will see how the car runs first. The downside about the test drive is that you are not able to bring the car to highway speed limit to check out the cabin noise level..

Dvdykc Clutched February 20, 2016 Share February 20, 2016 Dear all. Please note that before your new Mazda 6 run out of warranty, do go out and get 3rd party check the car. My experience is, I always do car service with Mazda and everytime I address my problem, they said can fix. After awhile problem will come back. but when after warranty over, the service agent tell me my car got problem from head to toes. Gear box. Engine part. Suspensions and something related to steering need to be replaced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

War3craft2003 2nd Gear March 6, 2016 Share March 6, 2016 Bro, where you got the adapter for T5? Most shops only sell for T10. You are right most store sell T10 and they even tell you it can fit T5 socket which it doesn't!! So rather waste the set below which I bought including the boot T10 led, I trim it to size to able to slot in the T5 socket. http://www.aliexpress.com/item/13-x-Xenon-White-LED-Interior-Light-Package-For-Mazda-6-Atenza-2014-2016/32566949787.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thdamian Clutched March 6, 2016 Share March 6, 2016 Hi All Mazda seniors, newbie here just got my M6 2 days ago and must say the ride is marvellous less the engine noise which need time to get used to. Also may I ask if this is the forum for M6 as I find it quite challenging to search for any topics of interest. Pls advice. Lastly I would be Glad if anyone can add me to the list for future meet ups to know more Mazda fans. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
