it is a sticky. they were telling a mod to do it before he did.


anyway -- can someone explain the flex portion of the downpipe to me. does that inhibit flow or anything? advantages/disadvantage?

 

Any of those dp eliminate the cat like the subbies or they all need cat? and any of those clear the tie bar? thanks ya all

 

Fujitsubo downpipe WILL definitely fit the Evo 8. I've got one and it's perfect

 

A flex section is supposed to allow the exhaust to move around when your car hits bumps. The 1g and 2g DSMs had them stock. The EVOs didn't. Without a flex section, the weight of the exhaust will generate a cantilevering effect at the o2 housing. If the exhaust is supported well enough along the car, this shouldn't be a problem.

 

does the fujitsubo clear out the tie bar? and u need a cat right? thanks

 

I got the RMR downpipe and muffler system and a k&n filter and a front suspension part and some other minor goodies. All factory installed at a RMR retailer Mitsubishi dealership, with no warranty problems. I live in San Antonio and had to go to Georgetown(north of Austin) to have an RMR Mitsu dealer install it. I was running 14 on the 1/4 and ran last night with the mods and got 13.2 as my best time with no powershifting. Highly recomend these mods and on the RMR website you can find an authorized Mitsu dealer near you. My only complaint is how much louder the car is.I don't mind, but the cops due, and it's anoying to have ricers rev their engines every time you drive by.Next I will do the brakes and get a shortshifter and try my luck at Texas World Speedway with the Porsche Club of America. My dad has Stock sti and I will compare lap times with him, but he is a much better track driver than I am.I've only ran 3 times at TWS.

 

Does anyone happen to know if the Buschur 3" dp will fit up to the UR test pipe? I'm gonna assume so unless there are any odd gasket issues to consider...

 

nope

 

Yeah I realized after my post that they use slip clamps... thanks for confirming that for me btw.

 

What does it mean by bolts on to factory cat?
Does it mean it shrink back down to 2.5"?

Thanks,

 

Actually up until a couple of days ago our downpipes were only available with NO flange and wouldn't work with anyone else's cats/offroad pipes. We NOW have available flanged downpipes, all you have to do is call and specify when you order. So, yes, our downpipe will work with the UR offroad.

David you are 1 day late with that breaking news!!

It's ok though, I got your test pipe instead. Thanks again.

 

Does the Vishnu downpipe clear the tie bars?

 

i thought hks stuff was expensive
but damn

"Vishnu - $675 @ Vishnu

-3" SS
-Comes w/ hi flow cat
-Flex section
-Retains stock dp hangers
-Transfer case bracket"

 

The Megan pipe is clearly the cheapest AND it has a flex section - is there any reason it is not the slam dunk winner - any fitment issues???

Thanks,
Scott
