Exhaust and Intakes
Exhaust and Intakes
Ok This has probably been asked many times before but I can not seem to find the answers ANYWHERE! Can the intake for a V6 mx3 fit the dohc inline 4? and I am looking to get an exhaust system made up at a shop here but I was told to ask around to see what other motors are like the mx-3 DOHC so they would know what specs to go by so my car will not burn oil. I dont really know what that means but if anyone can help me PLEASE do so! thanx!

Re: Exhaust and Intakes
if you plan on turboing the car or anything go much higher than 2" either 2.5 or 3 depending on how much power you plan to get. Best to plan ahead...

Re: Exhaust and Intakes
Also I am looking into getting headers for my car. Does anyone know if any are available. I cant seem to find the bullfrog ones listed on the site. I am going straight pipe at 2.25" should I take off the cat or leave it? I need help lol
Re: Exhaust and Intakes
I would leave your cat on for sure, it creates very little restriction but if you were to take it off it would cause a lot of unessecary pollution plus if they check emmissions where you are you will never pass. Also, go with 2in diameter piping, anything bigger and you will lose a lot of bottom end torque. A while back someone said they bought a set of headers for a 1.6L protege and that it bolted right up, do a search of the 4cyl forum and you can can probably find the post. Good luck.

Re: Exhaust and Intakes
INTAKE OPTIONS!!! The best one in my opinion is to buy a bomex brand intake off ebay for 30 sum bux. Get the one for integra, cut it up and it works perfectly!! Check mine out on my car domain page...

Re: Exhaust and Intakes
I will tell you now that if you have a stock 1.6L engine, with a 2.25" exhaust all the way back, you will be actually losing power. I would stick with 2", I know its not much of a difference but still. And keep your cat. Especially if you have emissions.

Re: Exhaust and Intakes
ya like i said before use the 2 inch piping, cause you dont want a huge pipe cause you dont need it.<p>as for the intake try a custom one if you do it right it will be cheaper and you will be proud of yourself lol
Re: Exhaust and Intakes
Alright, So im gonna use the 2 inch piping and hopefully ill get some good results. About the intake I can not find one anywhere so I went up and bought some pipe today and I am gonna make one.. lol any tips? haha. Around how much should I expect to be charged to get the 2 inch exhaust made up? (not including a new cat or muffler)
