I have the MBRP. It is stainless mandrel bent 2.25in and works great. However, if you are wanting turbo or big cams, etc. later, I would recommend going ahead and getting 2.5in exhaust. It will cost $10-20 more up front, but will save you from having to replace it all later.

 

[bigplyr77]

yeah i was thinkin 2.5in but i still dont know which brand to go with what sounds good, not too loud and annoying

well alot of people will say, myself included, that the borla has a nice and mellow deep tone, that is defintely not annoying. I would say go with that, I have it and love it.

focussport is good, i love it

ok so i was looking on nthcoast.com and i see that they have a borla exhaust for 00-03 zx3....does this fit the 06 as well? or do i need the 04-05 2.3l?? b/c i cant seem to find any borla exhaust for the 06...
someone please help!!!!!

 

[bigplyr77]

anyone help me with the nthcoast.com borla product please?? which one will fit my 2.0l 06 zx3?

 

[joshco84]

05 will fit an 06 car, the exhaust is the same on the new cars

 

[netdrgoon]

the round muffler systems will fit no problem, be careful on the oval muffler systems, they might have clearance issues with the gas tank.

Focussport Exhaust

I think that the focussport exhaust sounds great and it is rated high in testing according to all the reviews I have seen.


want to hear it click on the following link

FocusSport stealth exhaust is the one that I have and absolutely love the sound
coupled with the OBX header.

[bigplyr77]

sweet, how come you have to cut most exhaust systems for them to fit?

 

[polar]

You have to cut the factory out, period. UNLESS you take apart your drivers rear suspension.

There is no way to get it out with out a cut due to the size of the cat/muffler/resonator.

All aftermarket systems come in two or three pieces due to shipping and fitment issues. I did NOT cut my Borla at all, it came like that.
