Headers on a V6 1.8L Stock MX3

INSTYLE101 · Post by **INSTYLE101** » April 18th, 2006, 5:25 pm

Just a simple question for anyone, just wondering if anyone makes a header for a stock V6 MX-3, i've looked all over and can't seem to get my hands on one, wondering if anyone could hook me up.

look on ebay it will be under the ford probe gt or mx6 v6 it will say itd for the 2.5 litre but its a direct bolt on bot the catilitic on the mx3 has to be moved back a couple inches

Is it a big deal to put on a Probe or a MX6 header on an MX3, does it make any kind of difference, if it works all the same its good enough for me but do they actually make a header for a MX3 or due you have to use a header for a different car? And also is there much bending of pipes to make the header fit, and is it easy to install? just a couple questions

Im mine was a DIRECT fit other than cutting the rear and making it shorter. I have no egr, i used my stock egr plug. Direct fit. No need to bend un less u got egr. And yes its worth it. You will live the extra 7-10 hp

i have obx gen2 and just had my mechanic put them on....as ppl sed, direct bolt-on and noticing a HUGE difference
the back part will need chopped off and welded to the cat however since our cars are shorter than the mx-6 it was meant for.

Is ebay the best place to buy them? seem like thats where everyone got them from, is there any good sites that you can get them from that aren't to outrageously priced, or is ebay the way to go?

What headers sound best?

I am not sure what headers I have, but when accumpanied with a stainless Brullen exhaust it has been said that my car sounds like a crazy Ferrari. It has that sound that makes you think its more than it is... I dont know, I am still wondering what brand they are myself.
