Buy it. Looks fine to me. Especially for only 200, can't go wrong.

I would think so. I think there are some people who traded in 03 evo's for 05 mr's and they re-used the same TBE. Try a search on here just to be sure, but AFAIK it should be ok.

I would not take the chance sounds to good to be true. Ah I see it is just the current bid not the actual price you might wanna sit back and then see what they actually want for it.
With no resonators I would expect it will be very loud like a Buchur system. I would just hope with it being so cheap that everything fits correctly. Good luck if you purchase it and lets us know.

damn it, i was hiding this from you people. j/k

just to let you know the ssautochrome is the company that makes the $200 manifold for evos that keeps on cracking.

I wouldn't buy their exhaust manifold, but this looks good.

someone buy it tell us how it sounds.

by the way, i think the downpipe will fit good, but i'm more worried about the exhaust part. it looks bit too straight to fit on the right exhaust hole.

Looks like the one I was working with them on, before they flaked on me... lesson learned.

BTW I've not seen a single report of a cracked Evo manifold from them yet. The old Honda mild steel ones were a freaking nightmare though.

Ahhh the good ole SSAutochrome argument. This has been argued before, however, for $200 bux, if the exhaust is decent (which it appears to be) then its worth the money right there even if you throw out the downpipe if it doesnt fit.
