are you looking for stock or aftermarket??

headers...only made aftermarket, mx3 never came with stock headers, you might refer to exhaust manifolds but not i dont need those

damn sorry

I know the technical names for them...just some people call stock exhaust manifolds headers...so i was double checking.

Well ebay has some nice set pretty cheap...260 shipped!!

I ahve a set of Pacesetters on my MX-6, and a set of SSAutochrome's on my MX-3...i am currently pulling everything off my MX-6 so would you be interested in some headers??

And also to my knowledge they never actually made headers for the MX-3...just get the MX-6/Probe ones and then you need to extend/Shorten the piece before the cat....but thats no big deal. :tup:

you got some for sale? which ones, how much?

I was wanting to take off the Pacesetters..and put the stock back on. But i really don't wanna take them off unless i know i can sell them. I dunno how much they go for now...but obviously not more that $260 dollars..LOL

But make an offer and i'll see about taking them off sooner..LOL

so they need to be custom fit on mx3...which ones are better
pacesetter
brospeed
ssautochrome?

Well they have the whole write up in the FAQ on headers, but in short:

Pacesetter - Craftsmanship is not known to be the best - Most HP/Trq gains

Brospeed - Best Quality Product - Decent Gains

SS Autochrome - Excellent Quality - Great gains - Cheapest $$ wise

So the best bang for the buck i would say is the SS autochromes, and the most HP is the pacesetters and the brospeeds are known for the quality.

But yea i believe the collectors that are made for the MX-6/Probe is about 6-8" too long for the MX-3's cat to bolt up to..

I have Pacesetters on My K8. Only modification was i had to move the cat back about 4 inches. Well I removed the cat though & added a flex pipe. I am redoing my exhaust to get rid of the raspy noise the pacesetter headers produce.

I can take a pic of my setup if you would like to see it. The only thing I would recommend would be to get the old paint off the headers & paint them with a high temp paint. The quality of the headers are pretty good, just not prepped & painted very well.

As for price you can buy them new off the internet for $230 shipped.

If you have any questions on my setup feel free to ask. I can take plenty of pics since my car is up in the air.

ya would like some pics if you guy can post, from different angles, what size are primaries? heavy gauge tubing? was it hard to take off manifolds.

Teal_93 · Post by **Teal_93** » June 30th, 2005, 8:52 pm

The primaries are 1.5" & the collector is 2".

Not sure as to what size the piping is, but it is like normal, exhaust pipe.

The manifolds are a pita to take off if you have fat hands, but it can be done.

I'll should have my exhaust done tomorrow, then I'll get some pics up.
