Header question...
 

ok so my obx headers came today for my mazda3 2.0

I was having a look, and it looks like when i mount these on, the bottom of the header will be pointing the opposite direction from where my exhaust is... any answers to this?? i know i have the right header....

can you post a picture?

Are you sure you didn't buy the Protege 2.0L header?

ya, i think you got the wrong header there.....

on a side note,
that isnt a pic of ur speedo in ur sig is it triggArisE?
if it is, how the hell are u going 140mph???
our 3's top out at 120!

heres a picture of the vibrant mazda 3 header..

You ordered or they shipped the wrong header. That picture from vibrant is wrong, too. Maybe a standard stock photo?

looks correct to me, looks like you are just missing the flex pipe protion of the header

Huh? It's correct if the exhaust is to flow out the front of the car. After the tubes merge, it should curve back under the engine.

The exhaust header is in the back of the engine bay! It's fine, it's the right piece.

^^^ Which makes your shiny new 3 header almost invisible once installed :D

It probably doesnt work to well mounted to the intake.

might want to clean it before you put it on or you will have fingerprint burn marks all over it

Right, right. Sorry about that. :beer:

whoa whoa whoa... i dont understand! i can clearly see my stock headers in the front of the engine bay.. what else would those be??

Umm .. lemme take a stab into nothingness here. Intake manifold? :pfanndina
