Ralliart declared bankruptcy, it was complicated. From what I understand, they weren't going to R&D any new parts, but may still sell their other parts. But on the same token, I believe rhdjapan and japanparts.com both said ralliart was pulling off their sites. If you can find one, it will be on one of those sites.
Migs,
Do you happen to know anything about the Ralliart Sport Exhaust for the Evo Xs that were made a while ago. They are still available on the japan parts site. Wondering if they add any more ponies to the car?

Hi Alan
From what I remember HKS made them for Ralliart. They were much like the Legamax. 2.5” piping. I believe they did add hp before the 2011 exhaust which had medium removed. I’m going off a bit of fuzzy memory, so don’t hold my feet to the fire but that’s about what I remember.
Personally, I wanted one even if it didn’t add hp. I heard one in person and loved the sound. Throw a hfc with it and be happy.
But you will never guess what I did... I was down in CA for Xmas seeing family. I got bored one day and remembered a thread on the Ralliart Exhaust and that there was rumored to be one at South Coast Mitsubishi in Costa Mesa that had been on display. I read that back in 2013 from a post written in 2009. But it was vague. A very old lead as they say. Any way, I drove out there not expecting any thing and walked into the parts department. Met the young lad there named James and asked about this Ralliart Exhaust. He said they used to have it... and then he got to typing on the computer and told me it was on display but that was years ago. It took him about 5 minutes of typing then he said"I'll be right back.."
He disappeared off into the dusty shelves and racks. He came back 5 minutes later with this beautiful but very dusty new exhaust and plonked it on the counter!
Holy Crap. The holly grail of Evo X exhausts! And the price written across the top on masking tape? $1,800. I looked at him.. You must be joking. He just grinned.
It's the last one he said, attempting to justify the price. I looked at him and called bull****. I said.. "And how long has this been sitting here collecting dust? It's noting but an over sized paper weight... and your asking $1,800? No one will buy it at that price. You know I'm right. It's the reason it's been sitting here for 12 years. Go and ask the powers that be what they can do, because I can go online to japan parts.com and get this for under $1300 with shipping. So why would I pay you $1800? He had no come back. He walked off to talk to the manager and was gone for 10 minutes. He finally came back and looked me in the eye and said $1,200 flat plus tax.
Done. I handed over my plastic and 30 minutes later after he wrapped it and boxed it, I carried it out to my rental car.
They originally had 4, sold 3 over 15 years and couldn't get rid of the last one. So now it's sitting in my garage in a box and I have never heard it on a car and never seen one in the flesh until this week. I figure it was my Christmas present to myself The Holly Grail. Ralliart Sports Exhaust circa 2008? It's own serial number.
How much horse power do you think they added? 4 or 5 maybe? I also ordered a Ralliart Air Filter from japan parts and am calling it good. My car is complete.And what is HFC?
And I'm curious.. what have YOU Spent on your cars over the years? Really? Add up every thing you ever purchased for your Evo's regardless of who did the work to install them?
$1,200 for a muffler? BWHAHAHAHAHHHAHhahahahahahAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHhahah ahahahAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHhahahahahahAHHAHAHAHAHAHA HHHAHhahahahahahAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHhahahahahahAHHA HAHAHAHAHAHHHAHhahahahahahAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHhahah ahahahAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHhahahahahahAHHAHAHAHAHAHA HHHAHhahahahahahAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHhahahahahahAHHA HAHAHAHAHAHHHAHhahahahahahAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHhahah ahahahAHHAHAH
No wonder they only sold 3 over 15 years and it took this long to find a sucker for this last one. Course I am not proud on what I spent for my JDM MetalCatalyzer....LOL

Don't deflect. What I've spent has nothing to do with my opinion that spending $1,200 on *just* a muffler that is almost like stock is nuts.
I don't know that it's "Almost" like stock because I have never heard one! No one I know has one, no one has posted any thing with reviews or sound clips ever. It was the last one in the US and instead of buying it from Japan parts at almost $1400, then pay import duties and probably have to find a broker to get it through customs like I did with my wheels that would up charge another $400 was to get it for as low as I could in country and call it a day.
I am not deflecting on your answer. This is my car, not yours and I wanted a Ralliart Exhaust for it with a Ralliart Air Filter. Next week I am going to purchase a VW Passat Turbo Diesel second hand and put the Evo into storage indefinitely.
