Evo IX MR Downpipe

Hey all, been searching for a while and cant get a straight answer. Im looking for a good quality, good fitting downpipe for my evo9. I cant seem to find the best fit for my car because of the 6 speed and acd. Anyone with an ix mr care to chime in as to what fit their cars the best? Thanks!

Megan DP. fill 3 inch, stainless steel, clears ACD, affordable. It's just a pipe man, don't need to spend top dollar on it.

the older gentlemen i bought my evo 9 MR from had managed to put an RSR downpipe(full exhaust) on mine, I knew for a fact it was not 3 inches so i sorta assumed it was 3.5 inches but according to some member its actually either 3.18 or 3.38 inches in diameter or more like 83MM. It's worked so far, pretty loud but i did notice there are a few dings close to the oil pan

i have a megan also on a 9 (5-speed though) and it was top notch. bolted right into place, i didnt have to work to get it to align properly. also paired with a megan resonated test pipe. both are full 3-inch

you can use any downpipe, if it doesnt clear the ACD, all you gotta do is dent in that spot a little with a hammer, you dont want it rubbing. it can cause a lot of problems

Can not be used with stock exhaust, it will hit the acd. I am selling a DC SPORTSDP/ PERRIN CATBACK (so a full turbo back) for a more then reasonable price if your interested.

megan dp here (3 years now no issues with fitment or quality) only thing i did have to do is use washers to lower the bars that go from one side to the other (can't remember what they are called right now)
