Search!

I'm not sure how you were planning on putting Miata (RWD, longitudinal mount) exhaust into an MX-3 (FWD, transverse mount)

Whoever told you that was a moron. Longitudinal mount headers come down and turn towards the flywheel side of the engine. Transverse come straight down and curl beneath the oil pan. Entirely different. Same motor, entirely different exhaust.

DOHC headers exists. What you pay is what you get. regardless, you won't make any power with that B6 anyway... not without boost....

You can fab a header for a 2.0 probe. But its really not worth it. Trust me, I've looked into trying to make the B6 DOHC quicker N/A, its not worth it. Cost is to high and the gains are marginal at best. But if its for show then by all means try the probe header. I think corksport is working on one but I personally don't see it being sold anytime soon.

Headers, downpipe, exhaust manifold... all the same IMO.
