Any IXs with Megan TBE? Let me know.
Perhaps the change has to do w/ the rear pipe. Some of us with '05s have a different mount for the rear pipe hanger. I don't know if the IX's has this new bracket, but if they did, that would be a possible reason for the delay in the IX exhaust.
There is no IX Megan exhaust, nor one in production.
They are working on a 2005 DP version to see if they can improve fitment a bit. I have run the 2003 model for over a year on the 2005 MR much as Clayton.
The 2005 model I assume may bend a little more around the clutch pack portion of the TC, further clearing the unit.
There is no guarantee that this will make it to retail sales or active production. If it does, there is no guaranteed date of release. 60 days+ at least.
There is no 2006 IX catback or DP in design or production as there is no proof that the stock DP is any different. Maybe someone can look up the part numbers and see if they are the same from 2005-2006 for the stock DP.

We're getting mixed reports that the Cat-Back is the same or different with
the Evo IX so we need to know this ahead of time before we start to prototype
the same part of before we advertise for a part that doesn't fit.

The Turbo xs dp, Pruven tp and Megan catback fit. The only shortcoming is the pruven tp which was a tad short and forced the catback to come in a little bit but it still works. Btw, the Turbo xs dp requires spacers to clear the tie bars.
maybe its because i dont have the full megan tbe? I have the megan dp connecting to a ur testpipe and then rsr catback.. the flex section rubs the xfer case and the dp sits right beside touchign the oil pan, and this is on an 05.
