Headers for 3.0 x-type
Hi,
I'm looking to put headers on my X-type 3.0...
I know that no one makes parts that fit exactly but I do know that some applications are similar...so my questions are:
1. what's the best application to go for? I know the ford mondeo manifolds will fit, and I know the mazda 6 headers will fit...but to what degree do the downpipes etc need to be modified for it to fit the X?
2. does the ford probe 2.5 headers fit also? think I read this somewhere - it would be useful because the header kits go into 1 pipe rather than 2 - I know 2 is more beneficial but it's a bit more than I can afford.
3. Any general advice or best ways to get headers on my X!
Thanks,
Gareth

I hear the Mazda 6 has a similar setup....ford contour is another good source.

Here is a link to the blog Cris was referring to...

The headers the author, Steve Hannes, came up with look like a pretty good fit. Of course, you will need a custom wye pipe.
