anyone get headers for their 3 yet? if so, are they worth it?

 

from the performance and price it looks like my next performance upgrade

 

headers are definitely going to be worth the money, bill. the only reason i dont have a set though is because they cause the check engine light to come on. there are 'fixes' for the 2.0 liter mazda3 engine and the proteges that prevent the header from throwing a CEL, but for the 2.3 liter mazda3 engine, the fix hasnt been working for some reason...

what brand of headers do you think youll be getting? i know Draxas and Thunder offer headers, but thats all as far as i know.

 

well i have been looking at vibrant other then that i wouldn't know what brand to get, i'll probley hold off a while too research it, i don't want the cel to pop on and then having to take it to the gararge to get it off. do you know any mods that give the car the same performance specs as headers?

 

FYI...You can typically borrow a code reader from Murray's autoparts (or similar) to reset your codes without going into the shop. I've done it many times on numerous vehicles. (Or pick one up for ~$130)

 

i didnt even know they have headers for the 3 yet, ill have to look into this also

 

yea its like 15 extra hp

 

i looked at the Draxas website in school and i found alot more then i thought i would, id go with them

 

draxas has had a lot of fitment issues...but they might have taken care of all that.



heres a list of the headers available for the mazda3 thus far...

-DRAXAS HEADER
-VIBRANT HEADERS
-THUNDER HEADERS--there was a group buy for these on the protege forums...im sure they will have another really soon.

 

cool thanx for the links
