Virbrant Strut bar & Headers

Post by Darbee »

I'm wondering if the Vibrant Strut tower bar would fit a MX-3, cause they do have an application for MX-3, but I just want to make sure it fits. Cause I didn't see anyone using it. Is it good or bad quality or does it make a big difference with the cheap ones with the Cusco ones?<P>Headers>> is the Bullfrog headers good? any mod needed after i purchased it?? I'm planning to put the Bullfrog headers in my mx-3 V6, Whatz the difference I can feel about the car after this mod? smoothier sound? more horsepower/torque?<P>Please let me know what u know, thankz in advance !! thankz

Yea the vibrant bars do fit...<P>If you put headers in your car, you should also get a header-back exhaust system. There's a lot of other cheaper mods you can do first (intake, plugs, wires, etc.)<P>------------------<BR>~'94 GS

Yes, I do have intake, exhaust, plugs, wires... Next thing I'm thinking of the headers. I knew that bullfrog and some other brand names do have headers for mx-3, but do they fit ?? any modification needed after purchase? I am really looking forward to that. <P>

I did install a set of pacesetter header on my MX-3, "by the way" it is not listed as MX-3, just for MX-6, anyway I purchased and installed them with some mod done to make the cat converter to fit back on place, gess what!I don´t feel that much difference as the stock exhaust, but what make the difference is to let the intake to breathe cooler & free.
