I have the hotshot clones. Or SSautochrome version 2's. Fit perfecty, but i have the SRD crossmember, not sure if the stock one would work aswell. All thats needed for installation is moving your cat back since the stock manifold is shorter. Might want to consider redoing the rest of your exhaust and moving the cat back further so that it doesnt sit right under your shift linkage like mine does. My short shifter hits it in reverse, and the exhaust is hanging down alittle more then stock. Being lowered doesnt help scraping it against the ground either.

Will 626 or MX-6 headers also fit? My KL-DE is from a 1995 626.

The MX-6/ 626 are mechanically identical cars to the Ford Probe and Telstar.

As a note the length of the KL collector Y-pipe is great for low end torque but shortening the Y-pipe to the MX-3 length and keeping the pipe equal length (+/- .5")will push up the top end hp. even more so on a -ZE.

Are they really that identical? I though that the engine was the only part they had in common.

Didn't get any answer if it will fit, but I guess your answer was a yes :-)
