Megan racing EVO IX downpipe and turbo outlet question.

For those of you who have experience with the newly designed Megan racing Evo IX downpipe, how does it fit? Any fitment issues? Did you have to use spacers? I was also wondering if the megan Evo VIII turbo outlet will fit a IX without any issues. Thanks guys.

Any other suggestions on which o2 housing to get for the IX? So does anyone have fitment experience with the new megan downpipe?

I have the megan dp, not sure its the newest one, but it fit fine and i can't imagine it getting worse for one designed for a specific model

as for the o2 if you do decide on the megan (its a fine piece for the price) i have one lying around with all the nuts bolts etc..or check this one out

yeah? like what?

The Megan O2 housing is identical to the Ebay housing - which was proven via dyno testing by Buschur to make the most power. Most of the ones on Ebay now are poorly designed knock-offs of the original one sold by SSAutochrome so be careful - I'd get the Megan one again if I had to do it all over...

Oh, BTW, I bought my downpipe for my IX from Megan back in Dec '06, so it's probably not the latest edition - but no problems with fitment whatsoever...

im getting rid of my ebay one for a titek....its more expensive....but the quality of the porting and welds is better than all of the others I have seen....if I were looking again I'd either go with the coated buschur or the titek.

Sweet, thanks again TTP. Business is smooth and easy with you guys I appreciate it. I'll probably be interested in getting a set of MR Coilovers in a few months. I was wondering if for sure there is no flex section in the newly designed dp for the IX? I don't really care either way but it appears that there is no flex according to the picture posted right? My buddy swears that flex sections are crap but I have never heard of many problems with them.
