Pictures of modified Pacesetter headers?

[IMACHU2]

I bought a new toy (auto darkening welding helmet)

I am going to weld a in a 6" flex pipe before the cat.

Turns out we have the same headers... I like how you modified yours...

This is how I modified mine to fit...

A toss up really both ways would work well, your way is cheaper and easier and mine is more complicated and more expensive (I tend to complicated everything simple)

Now I am wishing I waited for your pics

I got the parts today to finish my he-hem "master piece"

[IMACHU2]

I decided to add a flex coupler to the MX-326GS' exhaust system today

Here is the flex coupler welded in.


The rear pipe needed to be shortened and a new flange was welded on.




Front/mid and rear pipe all pretty.


Installed and no leaks! Finnaly the last chapter of Man VS Exhaust.

Did you eliminate the long curve on the rear bank? That's important to keep, since it keeps the primaries equal length...

I didn't touch the primaries... Just the two pieces of pipe you see to move the y section back a couple inches...

My Pace Setters are different from those, one of these must be the revised version. Here's what mine look like:

Yeah not sure what version you have but that is much different then what I have...

The car is going to sounds nasty with unequal length secondaries. Might be good, might be bad... Mazda did tests with secondary lengths and found that equal length provide the smoothest power (SAE papers), but people on PT have found that these unequal length ones provide the best top end. Those long a-- primaries should help with the low down torque, but hurt top end, so IDK.... also your O2's only read cyls 5 & 6, which should be the leanest cylinders so that should be fine... I'm curious how you'll find them

I've been working on them as well.

Here you can clearly see the black coating is just for packing/transport


Front header



Just clearing the oilpan.


The troubles with the rear header (hitting crossmember)





@IMACHU2
Where did you cut the rearheader ?Did you cut all 3 pipes and welded it again ?
