95 mx-3 exhaust

[Rass]

I was looking for a full exhaust for my 95 mx-3 1.6L B6 engine. the only thing I have found close for it is the 92-93 pacesetter exhaust. it looks like the mounts are in slighty differnet places and the bends for the exhaust are close to the same. I was wondering if I can add exhaust hangers and fit this to my car without any clearance problems or will the slight difference in bends get hit by suspension components when the rear end is compressed?

Pretty sure the mounts are in the same locations. Differences are that it's 2.25" piping, which is too big for a stock 1.6L B6-DE (stock rs is 1-7/8" piping). Also, I believe the cat is further back on the V6.

well, since he's got a 1.6 it shouldn't matter that it's different for a V6

I should mention that I am planning on doing a BP swap on it eventually (normally aspirated)

The Pacesetter system is made for the V6... so... yeah... it does matter..

I have had the pacesetter monza big bore on my 93 sohc for about 5 years now. when I got mine there were two diferent versions. mine is the 2.25" and I haven't hd issues with it. it may be overkill but I was planning a BP swap. now I am thinking of a turbo for the sohc. s long s the mounts re right I say go for it.

they sell the same one for both cars. It will work just fine. Great kit for the price. BTW the stock header will provide all the back pressure needed, so really doesent matter that much on the exhaust size. 2 1/4 not that bad. you might even gain some milege on the freeway. its alittle big for a stock N/A b6 but it would be fine especially if you retain the cat.

Have been the leader Monza caliber on my SOHC 93 for about 5 years now. when I am me, there were two different versions. mine is questions 2.25 "and I have not hd with him. it may be exaggerated, but I was planning a BP swap. now I think a turbo for the SOHC. SS Long Mountains right again I say go for it.

Wow...someone had good results with "pacesetter" products?!
No offense, but having ordered a set of headers for my first mx-6 and then not fitting, I reluctantly got an exhaust
For my miata...horrible sound, raspy 'hon-duh'-like up top...not amazed.
I am currently on the talks with the folks at Corksport.com and they're designing an exhaust for our cars.
Contact them and ask for Derek and see where they are. I have their "drift" exhaust on the miata and couldn't be happier.
