Maximizer Exhaust Header for 1991–1999 Mitsubishi 3000GT & Dodge Stealth 3.0L V6 DOHC (Non-Turbo)

Fitment & Compatibility

Q1: Will these flashark 1991-1999 mitsubishi 3000gt & stealth headers maximizer 3.0l fit my specific vehicle configuration?

A1: Yes, these performance headers are meticulously engineered for the Z16A chassis layout. They offer verified fitment for the 1991-1999 Mitsubishi 3000GT / JDM GTO and the 1991-1996 Dodge Stealth, provided they are equipped with the factory 3.0L 6G72 DOHC naturally aspirated (Non-Turbo) V6 engine.

Q2: Why should I upgrade to these aftermarket headers instead of replacing my cracked factory 3000gt exhaust manifold?

A2: Unlike the heavy, highly restrictive factory cast iron 3000gt exhaust manifold that severely bottlenecks exhaust velocity and is notoriously prone to cracking with age, FLASHARK performance headers are constructed from lightweight, mandrel-bent stainless steel. They optimize exhaust routing, minimize thermal retention, and provide a permanent solution to exhaust leaks while freeing up restricted power.

Q3: Are these headers compatible with the SOHC 3.0L V6 engine found in some base models?

A3: No, these headers are designed exclusively for the 3.0L 6G72 DOHC (Double Overhead Cam) 24-valve naturally aspirated V6 engine. They will not line up with or bolt onto the 12-valve SOHC (Single Overhead Cam) configuration. Please confirm your cylinder head layout before purchasing to avoid mismatching.

Q4: Can I install this flashark 1991-1999 mitsubishi 3000gt & stealth headers maximizer 3.0l kit on a VR-4 or twin-turbo model?

A4: No, this kit is specifically tailored for naturally aspirated (N/A) non-turbo applications only. Twin-turbo models like the 3000GT VR-4 or Stealth R/T TT utilize totally different exhaust routing, turbo manifold configurations, and downpipes, making this non-turbo setup completely incompatible.

Q5: What are the primary performance specs and design benefits of these headers?

A5: These headers feature a high-efficiency equal-length runner design that smooths out exhaust scavenging. Built from high-grade stainless steel with an immaculate mirror-polished finish, they drastically reduce back pressure, allowing your DOHC engine to exhaust spent gases significantly faster and generate more high-RPM power.

Q6: What realistic horsepower and torque gains can I expect after installation?

A6: By removing the factory exhaust bottlenecks, drivers typically experience a dyno-proven increase of 10 to 15 horsepower along with improved mid-range torque. You will also notice a much cleaner, more immediate throttle response throughout the entire RPM band during acceleration.

Q7: How will this upgrade affect the exhaust sound profile of my 3000GT or Dodge Stealth?

A7: Upgrading your old 3000gt exhaust manifold to these headers gives your DOHC V6 a deep, sporty, and aggressive acoustic tone under load. It amplifies the distinct, classic pitch of the 6G72 engine while avoiding raspy high-frequency vibrations and maintaining comfortable cabin noise levels during normal highway cruising.

Q8: Is the installation process for these DOHC 3.0L headers a direct bolt-on project?

A8: Yes, FLASHARK headers are built for a direct bolt-on installation, mirroring factory exhaust mounting points. No heavy welding, cutting, or complex custom modifications are required, making them an accessible bolt-on upgrade for professional automotive technicians or highly experienced DIY enthusiasts.

Q9: Does the package include all necessary gaskets and mounting hardware?

A9: Absolutely. Every header kit comes complete with heavy-duty replacement flange gaskets and the necessary hardware to ensure an airtight, blowout-proof seal right out of the box, saving you extra trips and expenses at the local auto parts store.

Q10: Are there pre-welded O2 sensor bungs included on these stainless steel headers?

A10: Yes, these headers feature integrated O2 sensor bungs placed precisely in factory-equivalent locations. This configuration ensures that your original oxygen sensors plug right back in, maintaining proper air-fuel feedback to the ECU without throwing a Check Engine Light (CEL).

Q11: Will installing these high-flow headers improve my vehicle's gas mileage?

A11: Yes. Because your engine no longer struggles against the extreme back pressure of a stock manifold setup, its pumping efficiency is greatly enhanced. When driven under normal conditions, this reduction in engine strain can lead to a noticeable optimization in overall fuel efficiency.

Q12: What quality manufacturing standard does this FLASHARK product adhere to?

A12: This premium application is manufactured under strict ISO9001:2000 quality certification standards. It incorporates thick, laser-cut flanges to resist warping under high operating temperatures, coupled with seamless welds built to withstand both rigorous track and daily street environments.
