MAZDA MILLENIA PERFORMANCE PARTS GUIDE

 

READ THIS FIRST BEFORE POSTING! EDITED MAY 28, 2005.

 

Please post your "performance finds" in this thread, along with the best price you know of and any other important information. Please do not list eBay prices unless they refer to "Buy-It-Now" (fixed-price items). Prices should only include the cost of parts and (if you have the info) a rough estimate of labor to install them.

 

This particular thread is only for performance parts, such as engine or suspension upgrades. A similar thread will be created later for appearance parts, like spoilers or body kits.

 

Once this main list is updated, posts will be deleted unless there is a problem with your listing (and you will be notified in this forum if more info is needed).

 

And if you have used one of these parts and feel it is specifically worth recommendation to other members, let us know and we can "bump" the rating. Likewise, let us know if you've been dissatisfied with any of these items as well.

 

You, of course, are responsible for researching these items further on your own, and MazdaWorld (and its staff and members) take no responsibility for damage or loss that may occur as a result of using any of these products. Recommendations are made solely on a basis of good faith; no instrumented testing of any performance claims has been performed by MazdaWorld or its members unless it is expressly noted as such.

 

Key to symbols: (brand?) - brand unknown. (shop or manufacturer?) - seller or custom shop unknown. (price?) - price unknown. (front or rear?) - location unknown; for chassis parts.

Sadly, they are not compatible. There is not enough space for the MX6 headers in the engine bay, and the exhaust itself is rather different.

 

A custom piping job and universal muffler are the only means.

 

Sadly Sir, you are wrong about the headers, they can be fit with some modification, even on the S. I now have them. But yes they have to be changed to go over the cross member under the engine, and the oil pans are different, therefore the loop on the headers (to keep pipes same length) has to be altered.
