PaceSetter Monza exhaust for 95 MX-3

Post by Len-Dogg »

I have recently developed a sizable hole in my exhaust system. Assuming the problem is back of the catalytic converter (I have yet to check that), I am thinking of going with the PaceSetter Monza cat-back system that many of you guys have talked about on here, and is available from JCWhitney for $150. However, I noticed that the site quotes this exhaust system for a 92-93 MX-3. Mine is a 95, 1.6L 4-cylinder. I was wondering if this exhaust would work with my car, and if anybody has any experience putting this exhaust on a 1995 MX-3?<BR>Thanks!

almost 3 years now and no rust on my tip but yes some people in moist climates have the problem. The exhaust will work for a 95 but the shop will need to cut the muffler flange and turn it so it lines up correctly with the mid pipe. At least thats the problem i had with my 94 [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img]

Thanks for the advice. Do you mean that you have to actually cut the flange off and turn it, and then re-weld it? That sucks, because I was hoping to do the switch myself (I have access to a lift), but I don't know how to weld. I wonder if there is some kind of adapter that you could come up with. Nice website by the way. If you want to see some pics of my car go here. <A HREF="http://www.msu.edu/~leonar40/Car.html" TARGET=_blank>http://www.msu.edu/~leonar40/Car.html</A> <P>Anyone with an actual 1995 MX-3 that has tried this system? Thanks!

thats what they had to do with mine. But perhaps it was a defect. Maybe someone else could lend some insight into that. I think he charged an hour labor to do the cut and weld which wasnt too bad.

I have that setup... I don't have any rust on it yet (it's been a year) but even if so what do you want for $150 CND....
