Re: Just bought My 93 Mx-3 (pics)
Ok, we are way off topic here..
BP should proly go 2.25". Do a search
200 bones is to much for altezzas. You should keep that color if you are painting the car or go a gunmetal color

Gunmetal - titanium color with black tails. That is a good combo

Actually I'm doing either a greyish blue or a midnight blue with gunmetal grey or silver rims and I'm going to make the interior match with the outside

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Re: Just bought My 93 Mx-3 (pics)
My $.02 on the exhaust:
2.5 kills the low end, but you gain a little on the high end.
I like my low end, because I drive every day, and that's what my car is for; fun every day. So I have 2.25.
If you want to shave .05 second off your 1/4 mile, get 2.5.
I highly recommend the FlowMaster Hushpower muffler, since you've got the $$. Check my worklog for the serious exhaust. I don't have my headers on yet, though. I have to be careful, to not spin the tires all the time.
I'm looking forward to your worklog!

Re: Just bought My 93 Mx-3 (pics)
Yea, 2.25 is just fine. worked for me in both engines, not so... much in the K8 though.
I also got mine custom done at an exhaust shop right near by me for $400 mandrel bent and everything.
IMO custom exhaust = worth it
I`ve also seen altezza`s go for around 80 bucks on ebay. dont pay 200....

Re: Just bought My 93 Mx-3 (pics)
Yeah, I just figured, if you're going to drop the $$ on a Monza, you could easily afford the $150 FlowMaster.
Just be sure to do it right the first time. It's tempting to think "I'll just do it this way for now", and get stuck with something.

Re: Just bought My 93 Mx-3 (pics)
Flow master is a muffler. you will still need to get a tip or muffler for the end of some sort.
