Can't decide which Header to get

If you know a person or a shop we both can go to for a deal to cut the axle back and smelt it on your's and install the exhaust on my car lets go for it. you might have more resources then i do.
 
the racing beat exhaust is 2.375 inchs or 66mm. Makes no difference to a an exact 2.5?or they just round up?
 
started the search for the ecu and harness today guys, truth be told, i checked a couple places and the sun was really burnin, so i went to the beach and check out girls, err, one guy had one, but was unwilling to split it from the engine and trans, will check sum other places tomorrow and update
 
your such a tease man lol dont tell me you found one and couldn't get it lol j'k but I am excited that your making an effort. btw which exhaust is better the racing beat or the greddy sp exhaust v.2 ? if there are any other suggst. give me your opinion...

Your conversion factor seems too high.

It's 63mm and 60mm. The difference is very slight, though... you can usually just weld them up unless you're OCD about fitment and flow. My exhaust starts as 2.375, then enlarges to 2.5 at the muffler. Unless you're looking closely, you can't see the step.
 
what I'm thinking about doing is doing some measurements on the autoEXE exhaust system, buying the stainless steel bends and tig welding it all together, i already have a HKS Super Drager muffler to put at the end, not sure If I'm going to use a cat or resonator, most likely not.

The autoEXE system is 2.5inches
 
Dude, if you can have the exhaust shipped to you, we can get an install/meet going down at my place and do it in the garage.

We swapped my magnaflow onto JC-MP5's P5 and his stock setup onto mine.

OH, also, JC-mp5 has a 3" high flow midpipe he's trying to sell too, just FYI


oh, and i'm crazy tired today, i can't remember what i said i'd send you links to.

Oh, and i have a spare lower grille now, but, it just isn't very pretty. It was painted white then black by another forum member.

sorry this thread has gone from discussing headers to now exhaust but moving along ha... so i've decided to either get jic magic exhaust or skunk 2 since i want a can instead of a stock looking exhaust. Jic is about 589 and i think skunk 2 is running a hundred dollars cheaper i forgot. I am considering of eliminating the cat but i was just told that new laws will be placed in florida around 2011. anyways i found out the axle back hi power exhaust cost 350 on one website and 319 on another. the axle back has no scratches and i can take pictures of it to see for yourself
 
if you eliminate the cat, just keep the stock exhaust setup in the garage and swap it when emissions check comes
 
about the sensor extensions, do i need the mazda speed wiring extenstions or what is it exactly so i can order it from the dealership as well unless you know a better place

Here is the part # for the MSP extension "Mid Oxygen Sensor Harness (1) - BPY167020" Onlinemazdaparts sells it for approx $45 so your local dealer will be $5-$10 more.

There may be a chance that even with this extension you'll need to splice the wiring depending on where the bung is welded on the midpipe. Just something to keep in mind.
 
I don't want to over price where i'm screwing someone over but i also don't want to do the same for myself
 
i don't think that'd be too high, but, i'll have to pass.

I'm saving for a Racing Beat catback myself now

And before you order that extention, if you go to an exhaust shop, ask em if they can do a custom extention so it's just the right size. Just a thought
