i install a DC downpipe and a hks ti exhaust and it seems to have clearance problem with the tranny because it seems to tap on it once in a while does anyone have the same problem?

 

No problems here whatsoever, but i do have the 8 though.

 

No problem with mine. The only thing I did was add some washers to one of the underbraces to get some extra clearance.

 

i have that problem too

 

I think this has been discussed many times before.. if you have an 05+ EVO w/ ACD and front LSD, any 3" downpipe will give you clearance issues. Stick w/ 2.75" and you will be ok. you won't notice any difference between 2.75" and 3" downppe in terms of power gain unless you are way over 600hp.

 

Wow, that really suxs about the rubbing issues your having. I'm really glad then, that I purchased a 2.75" Downpipe...........hopefully I'll have it installed this Monday.

 

Bah.

There is 3" downpipes that fit on Evos w/ ACD.

I have a WORKS 3" TBE and it fits perfectly.

Get 3", not 2.75"

 

I just noticed their DP is over $350..

They may have one that clears.. but I just dunno about their products that produce low dyno numbers and high prices.. hmm

 

I looked at purchasing the Works dp, but it was it was pretty pricey. I just ended up purchasing the Espilier Dp for $210.00

 

WORKS DP doesn't have low dyno number, their flash does. All 3" Dp are gonna perform the same.

WORKS is expensive but it the most quality exhaust you can buy, w/o a doubt.

If you want cheap qualitly, get Burchur Racing, IT will fit and doesn't cost that much.

 

Espilier DP is only 2.75, not 3", and espilier **** is cheap.

 

****, i don't even think its 2.75" my buddies tanabe is 2.75" and my espilier is visibly smaller.

 

When I had mine I had to bend the hangers to ne side to clear the TC.

A 24in pry bar should do the trick

 

same here. i also bend the hangers for more clearance and also add some washers on your underbrace bar. i have it for a year now and no rubbing or any problems

 

How did you guys bend the hangers? Did you bend the ones on the bottom of the car or the ones on the downpipe? I'm not having any rubbing issues with my DC downpipe, but I would like to get some more clearance between the TC.
