How much work would it be to mod up a OBX MX-6 headers to fit in our mx's. Any comments?

I put on the Probe ones for my ZE swap. No issue - BUT I also put a new custom exhaust on from the end of where the headers come together all the way back.....still "testing" my cat....you know....

Mine were 1st gens, horrible fitament on my Mx-3, so depends which revision, so could be ok, or could be bad, but those 1st gens should be around anymore, that's been a long time

The only issue is that the MX-6 and Probe locate their cat farther to the rear of the car then ours - so you might have an issue if you are reusing your cat.

For pretty much all of them yes, but mine, wouldn't clear the oil pan and the one o2 sensor bung was actually facing the block, so you couldn't get an 02 sensor in there never mind with it's connector.

Well by the sounds of things it seems to be a little work but nothing I can't handle.
