headers.

in theory a 4-2-1 header would be better. in reality there is virtually no difference, 1 to 2 hp at best difference between the two. i have driven proteges with both.

bottom line, you really cannot even get a 4-2-1 header for this car anymore so that renders the debate academic. if you could obtain one, it would be more expensive (about twice the cost) and not really get you anything more than a 4-1 design.

i wish someone would make another 4-2-1 like my racing mazda i have on the p5. i love that header...not that i notice much difference between it and the obx i have on the mp3...but i like the design more. maybe i can find someone that can make one for me :)

they never check here in wichita it should i mean there are 2 cats how would they know.

Yeah but if everything goes to plan, my Protege won't be in the Wichita area much longer. I've got my sights set on the Denver area and I know they do emission testing there.

I jumped on the OBX GB with Ken. I guess if it does fail in Colorado, I'll put the factory manifold back on and go get it re-tested and then swap it back out afterwards. Kinda of a PITA, but oh well.

Hey Forbidden, you gonna bring your MP3 out to the autox at the Wichita Greyhound Park this Sunday to get your butt handed to you by my Saturn?

Mazda is still showing them on the mazdamotorsports.com site. $499 I believe is the advertised price, but i have not checked on availability. Sounds like the obx is fine for a street car.

I'll be the #55 Saturn running in 3rd heat. My name is Tom, if you didn't figure that out.

If you don't run your car and I have my passenger seat open, you can take a spin with me if you want.
