It's call the o2 housing because thats what it is. The o2 sensor is in this small piece. Installation shouldn't be too hard at all. You'll just have to undue the nuts/studs from the exhaust housing on the turbo, and undue the donut flange gasket where your downpipe connects. Put this peice, or if you choose a regular o2 housing, and put it in. It will connect to your downpipe perfectly, as it's in the same location.

all this talk of exhaust....

is there a local shop that can order parts in to save duty and possibly some shipping cost?

i want to pick up a test pipe to replace my Works highflow cat.

if not i'll just order it from the states.....i just hate paying 50-75$ for a pipe, then pay another 40$ for brokerage fees : /

ultimate racing has a pipe for sale real cheap with mechanical CEL fix.

i really liked not smelling exhaust for the past month, i'll throw it on and see how it smells lol.

Unfortunatly not really for you. You could have it shipped to the other side of the border and next time you come into Van you could pick it up. Or have one of us pick it up for you and hold it for ya.

I track, use to track it with my EK and S2000. Haven't track with the Evo yet. My EVO is my DD too. As for suspension i am using the T1-R normal setting is soft just the way i like it for DD but haven't adjust the dampening to hard yet.

under 2k.
if i had the money i'd get the robispec streets, but its too expensive for what i need.
a lot of people recommend stance for the value, but not sure if it'd be a downgrade from MR bilsteins.

i paid 130$ USD shipped, i can try to do 130$ CND shipped to you. it should get here tomorrow, i will open the box to inspect and take pics for you.

oh and my Ebay UK Evolution IX came in, and they are very nice they are raised letters, and solid, they also provided the cardboard template which made it very easy to mount.

lets see how they fair against the vancouver island rain.

pics to come tomorrow or so.

I've been looking at some endura-tech and the KW variant 3. I'd probably go with one of those two if I were to get coils.

Or maybe just go with some springs. I have Swifts with the MR Bilsteins and the feel is awesome. It's a good combo.

Ya they sure are. Again, there are many options, but like you said, most of them will be a downgrade from the bilsteins.
