ZXI Exhaust.

Just had fitted a back box and mid section fitted to my 1997 V6 zxi.
According to my local trusted garage Mazda chanded the design of the mid section exhaust very very slightly sometime during 1996. Why? Has anyone else come across this problem?...

I dont think they changed the ZXI exhaust in 96 but then am not sure.

there are 2 diffrent middle sections for the zxi cause I got one that wouldn't fit my car .
the mounting bracket was in the wrong place so it through the whole system out,
allthough it was listed to fit my car .one from another supplier fitted like a glove

Thanks for the info, you are right the centre section is

different.Please be aware before buying one yourself and trying to fit it youself.

Cost me for the two sections just under £200 Phew...

Well I didn't know that - was just wondering on price cos I just paid £300 for a Cat back stainless system

and wondered how much direct replacement was

i had a similar problem with the mid section on my 97' V6. The garage couldn't get any after market ones to fit with the Mazda silencer, they were all too about 2" too long. They had t fit a genuine Mazda centre section, wasn't much more money though.

Thats a good price mate, I paid £400 for a dual 3 1/2" round ss system catback, makes the V6 sound fantastic. --O------O--

Edited to say:

by the way did you notice a difference in performance. I noticed a pretty big difference, I expected some difference but it was better then I hoped.
