stainless exhaust manifold

[andrea89]

Hi, where I can get a stainless exhaust manifold for a v6 1.8 mazda mx3? on ebay I have see a mazda mx6 v6 exhaust header manifold, it is the same or is different?
thank you

as far as i know they never made one for the mx3. mx6 or probe gt are the ones everyone are using. some of them have needed to be modified to fit properly, others have bolted right on. regardless if you want it to fit you will need to get your catalytic converter pushed back a few inches.

thank you, you know if there is a thread who talk about push back catalytic converter and other modification to fit properly ?

pushing back the cat is pretty easily and any exhaust shop should be able to do it for pretty cheap. other modifications arnt always necessary and would probably have to be done custom.

Generally speaking you need to remove about 9" from your exhaust pipe to make them work. No big deal just get a saws all, cut your exhaust pipe and reattach with a joiner piece and two clamps.

remove 9" from here?

No no, remove from the stock system. Don't hack up your nice new SS system.

Ryan's right. I bought two 1/4" spacers to go after the manifold pipes. I found the crossover pipe was almost touching the oil pan so I spaced it down a little.

ok, thank you to all, when I buy it, I post some photo of my new exhaust manifold
