    Until you get a welder to work on it you can use the festiva exhaust on the b6 cylinder head, the early 1988 b6 is the same design
    1993 GL 5 speed

    It's a MazdaFordnKia thing, and you will understand!

      I ended up biting the bullet and buying this one for $125 and then modified it to fit.

          If you will be buying a 323 downpipe like Marcus just showed, price around! I paid way too much for my later model B6 downpipe at Autozone. If I had looked at Rockauto I could have saved around $40, even after shipping. I don't know if that holds true for the early downpipes like you will need, but shop around and be sure!

          FYI there were at least three different later model B6/323 downpipes from at least two different companies and I think one was stainless steel.

            I installed a spacer to position the downpipe so the stock exhaust pipe clamp could bolt on just below the bottom of the oil pan. I will be removing it as soon as I pick up my B6 headers from Lewiston.
