thanks guys. Im excited. And a lot of people seem to be liking this one better. Probably because it's straight, and isn't yellow! lol

ill have to get some PSs done to it to see how it looks with different colors.

I'm gonna start doing research on colt cams too, i think colt cams and a borla exaust would be a nice end to the performance that i think it should get. Anyone know if you need MS or anything like that to tune the motor for the cams?? (not to put the thread too off topic)

i dont think u need MS for colt cams

**95_Black Riider** · 10-22-07, 12:49

ask ragin... i bet he would know.

**Nealio** · 10-22-07, 12:53

I like it. I'm just happy you were able to find a replacement, none the less one with a ZE.

Nice upgrade the car looks great, im glad you found one so soon. As for the colt cams i wouldnt get them unless you plan on some tuning. My car seemed slower with the colt cams vs. the ze cams in a DE with a stock ecu. Now with a ZE and fuel pressure reg they have good pull to them. Also for a daily driver the idle is pretty rough. Im installing megasquirt soon and am hoping for good gains.

thank you.
and when you get MS and tune it, let me know your results. I made a thread in 2nd gen section asking for dyno results with the cams.

well which systems have 2.5 inch mandrels?? megnaflow?

**Car-InsanE** · 10-22-07, 19:27

there are 3 full cat back systems for our cars. Borla, Bosal, and Pacesetter. if you able to fin a used GReddySP2 catback from a probe, it somewhat fits, MAtt(ragin) did it

**ghostling** · 10-22-07, 19:38

wow man nice find!.. looks to be similarly equipped as mine. it even has all the correct VRIS points... definately an upgrade.

**mxdriver** · 10-22-07, 21:12

i've swapped exhaust from probe to mx6's all the time..as a matter of fact i just put a probe pace[shizzle]ter on my mxa6 two days ago..no problems at all...something different about the greddy?

**Car-InsanE** · 10-22-07, 22:18

the hangers i heard are different and bit shorter? Ragin has the greddy and it tucks right under but looks good.

Pcace[shizzle]ter... LOL!

so basically if you get a good tune up on the car, it will push out better numbers? niiiiiiice.

**ragincanadian4** · 10-22-07, 23:05

One hanger on the GReddy for the Probe didn't line up with the MX-6 right. And as far as shorter, the GReddy is for 93-95, and since my car is a 96, the exhaust didn't reach all the way to the cat, so I had to have it extended about 5"-6"to meet the cat. The thing I love about the GReddy is that it sits completely under the bumper, doesn't stick out at all.
