EVO9 JDM rear bumper, the exhaust solution.
.....As a side note, I am having some special Bullet Mufflers made for us right now. The application is to install them where the cat goes, they are longer than our current muffler and are designed to take up the entire catalytic area. I am doing it to drop the noise level substantially. I will be installing it on my RS as soon as they come in.
Thanks, you just sold me on this as I do want it to be a quiet as possible but with the best performance in mind. I will be using the JDM bumper and will order your TBE as soon as you get everything fabbed up.
i like the fart can look myself!
memo,
With you having two mufflers on your car you are either going to have to put up with the car being noisey again or you will see the rear muffler.
I personally can't stand seeing the entire muffler and end of it when it is exposed with the JDM rear bumper.

Hi guys,
I keep seeing pictures of guys buying the JDM EVO9 rear bumper, I bought one too and have it on my 9 second daily driven EVO8. I love the looks of it. My problem is the exhaust I keep seeing just aren't meant to be in that rear bumper cover. Most of the pictures I see the exhausts that are being used just flat out look like crap, my opinion of course.
So, with that said, here is a picture of the rear of my car. I can build this as a catback or turbo back for anyone that orders an exhaust from us. I can do it in the angled non rolled tip as pictured, straight cut or angled and rolled like our tips are normally. For me, this is the best.
I have my muffler where the cat use to be. If you don't use our full turbo back I'd have to put the muffler in the rear and that, I feel, takes away from this super clean look.
Hope you all like the look as much as I do. It is nearly impossible to see the exhaust from the rear of the car.
Thanks for reading.

That just looks amazing, it's exactly the look I'd want for my Evo. Super clean and super funtional.
I can't answer the how much shipped question as I don't know which system you want. If it is this exact system with the V-bands it is $1025 shipped. If you want our standard exhaust but with it looking like it is in this picture it is $825 shipped.
Thanks for the compliments on it.

There may be another side benfeit to a setup like this, in MA anyway. MA state law reads that you can not modify any exhaust system to make it louder than it was from the factory. The cops interperet that as you can't modify the exhaust at all (luckily the judges can read), so even seeing an after market muffler can get you an exhaust ticket. By not showing off the aftermarket muffler, you will be less likely to get pulled over.

due to the placement of the muffler, is a cat not available? and when do you plan on having the bullet muffler ready to go? i love the way it looks and also want a JDM 9 bumper so i'm really excited about how your progress goes

The muffler is where the cat goes. Correct, setting up the car like this makes it for "offroad use only" as you can't run a cat on the car anymore.
The bullet mufflers are ready, if you are talking about the new one that I am hoping drops the noice even further, that will be a few weeks. Until I test it I won't sell those anyway. Has to be quiet and NOT loose any power.

haha hurley. I like it too and yes, my car has one sexy ***.
I polished it up this weekend, now I need to take some new pics that do it justice.
You know, the fine for not having a muffler is pretty low, the fine for not having a cat is VERY FREAKING HIGH. With the muffler where the cat goes it is easy to explain to the nice police officer that pulls you over that you do in fact have a cat under your car
