Re: Header
I believe the 2.5L mx6 probe headers and y-pipe will fit. ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

Re: Header
I installed MX-6/Probe GT OBX Stainless headers when I did my KLZE swap on my 93 MX-3 GS. Pictures below:

You can find them for ~ 300USD +/- shipping
They fit well, but will require your cat to push back ~ 6" and the pipe from the back of the cat to the pipe going into the muffler will need to be shortened... or you can just get a custom exhaust welded in and dump the stock exhaust setup... in the attached photos I had my modified pipe on, since then I have replaced the cat back with a custom system, all welded in....
Hope this helps,
Tim

Re: Header
So the KLZE header will fit the 1.8??
But isn't the KLZE a bigger motor??

Re: Header
They will fit... you might lose some low end power by going with oversize tubing for the 1.8 vs 2.5 L displacements... might help your top end HP numbers slightly... assuming you go with a high flow cat, and say 2.25" exhaust tubing to a free flowing muffler...

Re: Header
No idea about the generic ebay headers. usually the saying, you get what you pay for applies to auto parts...

Re: Header
Will actualy be 3" pipe with a high flow cat
Re: Header
You must be talking about forced induction if you are talking 3" pipe. 2.5" is overkill for a 1.8 - 2.5 NA liter engine...

Re: Header
At present, they're all about the same from what I have seen. Unless you get your hands on an older set of headers, the gains basically vary from set to set, all branding aside.
Buy what you can afford; If you don't mind the sound being a little more annoying, the PaceSetters are worth looking into.
