3 1/2 hours later, I think that is all (or nearly) of them. Hopefully this will help us narrow down our decisions, or at least put everything in better perspective.

 

Great job! I bought the turbo xs dp with many months of research on others. It's being put on tomorrow w/ the hks 30th. I'll respond with fitment and sound tomorrow

 

- i know iam getting megan racing downpipe $150 cant beat that

 

gonna buy the RMR downpipe and Lower Arm Brace this weekend...

 

one more

Buschur 2.5 - $225

"This is our 2.5" downpipe upgrade for the EVO8. This downpipe will work with the stock catalytic converter. Mandrel bent stainless steel construction. Weighs only 6.5lbs. Retains stock lower tie bars. "

 

It's on there, 2 above from the Helix DP. It just doesn't have a pic.

 

Very nice post. Thank you!!!

 

nice collection - thanks!

 

Nice job, I already have the full B&B 3" turboback, but this is a great thread with tons of useful information.

This thread will probably be stickied, but if it isn't, can you lovely mods do so?

 

my bad

 

Can someone tell me if the Buschur 3inch DP clears the tie-bars without spacers or any other modification. Thanks!

 

Yes it does.

 

well great post! Which one is the best for the money. Any suggestions ?Thanks

 

From what I have heard, the Helix DP gets lots of praise and is affordable. The Megan Racing DP ($150) seems like a fair deal, and I have heard good things about it also. I am talking w/ Andy @ Boost Solutions about the JIC and the Tanabe DP comes w/ an EGT probe, which is a nice feature.

I honestly have heard nothing but good things about most of them, so take what I have said w/a grain of salt...

 

nice post!

i've got the ultimate racing 3" downpipe with thermal wrap. high quality shiz. i'd recommend it
