Question About Bosal MX-6 Header

This is more or less directed to the ppl with this mod done. PhantomCruiser is one person that i know that has done this mod. Could someone tell me what exhaust manifold gasket do i need? One from the 93-95 MX-6 or for the model year protege? Please and thanks in advance.

You should be able to reuse the factory exhaust manifold gasket. The head and the ports are the same so either the old gasket from the Probe/MX-6 or the new one for the FS should work.

I guess the damage would be if you sucked crap into the intake via the open EGR. Close it or put a breather on it.
