intercooler pipes that fit w/ACD?

The Injen does not fit the IX. RMR does not fit the ACD. I have an HKS RS intake...what intercooler piping fits(upper and lower)

Any help would be appreciated...

I bought the RMR with the assurance..."it def. fits"...guess what...after a few hours of work(remove under tray, all piping...go to put on new pipes...DOES NOT FIT. I called RMR...instead of the vendor I got the pipes from...and they said their pipes only fit evos' w/out ACD.

I am running AMS LICP (fits terrible but works) and LPI UICP on my 05. The UICP is real tight with the batter but does fit.

Our upper and lower i/c pipes fit the EVO9. We build the BR330 and BR350 Edition cars for Medina Mitsubishi, so I am absolutely certain of this as we have done quite a few already.

The lower i/c pipes we had to re-do for the EVO9 as they do require a different design than the EVO8.

What is a ACD?, I only know the ACD as being Active Center differential.

What a ACD has to do with Lower Intercooler pipes anyway? I have AMS LICP and the fitment was great. Again I don't see any correlation with ACD and LICP.

Please elaborate on that. Thanks!!

The AMS pipe is nice, but i prefer the Buschur UIP any day of the week. I have worked on 2 evos personally that have the aluminum AMS pipes and they bend like a coke can.

The ACD I believe is on the drivers side of the car where the UICP runs past on its way to the IC. I could be wrong though.

Hes talking abou the ACD pump and resevoir on the 05's. it sits where the old IC sprayer sat in the 03-04's only problem is ist;s a bigger unit and it sounds like their might be a clearance issue.

again my evo is an 05 and don't have any fitment issues.
