Damnit!
Damnit!
Ok so I bought on eBay, a set of OBX Mirage Headers (4-2-1) in a nice brilliant stainless steel and all, in order to save a few hundred bucks. I did the research on here prior, so as not to have a problem, and found out that it could in-fact be done, and wasnt too big a problem.
Well... I didnt have the problem that everyone here discussed.
Everyone else had stated that the downpipe and the header are a bit short of eachother, but nothing a few extra gaskets couldnt fix...
Mine were in fact about 4-6 inches apart. and the downpipe was bent incorrectly (opposite direction to the natural bends of the Lancer).
They tried to use the stock downpipe, but the bolt pattern was 2 and the Header I have is 3, so that wasnt happenin' either.
So they said I was never getting these headers on this Lancer. Then charged me 45 bucks to tell me that. ...
So Im thinking I need to have someone make me a flange w/ a 3 bolt pattern to go in between and connect the Header & Downpipe to together.
Any Help or Ideas?

Cus theres two different sections where it can be posted on topic.
People dont go on reading every catagory, some just migrate to a particular one now and then, as well as it allows more people here and there to see at once.

Well basically, the Downpipe (where it meets the Header) will be too short, so youll have to weld and extention about 4" more or less.
The bend (Outlet) of the downpipe goes in the wrong direction, so cus it off where necessary.
What happened in my case with the OBX Header (Mirage) was that the extention wasnt even nessesary.
The header fit to the downpipe perfectly and was long enough to get to the bottom without hitting anything... Cool!
Yeah... pretty simple. The first muffler guys where retarded.
Oh! yeah you well have to make a new bung hole tho, and extend the sensor wire. Just put the hole into the downpipe closer twards the inlet.
