this is an o2 housing. gives a little more power and spool. i have a 3" one on my talon and helped a little. more smooth rather than a cast one like our stockers, and this should have a bigger inner diameter also.

yes if it would fit your MR...strange though that this housing is different from the one i got from them like 2 months ago. This one looks better.

yes it should fit, the only thing you may run it to i beleive is the bolt holes for the housing may need to be cleaned up and made slightly larger, now if this is the first and only(for a while) mod you are planning on making you might not see a diff in performance, it is proven that just adding on part of the exhause system and not adding the rest has hurt the evo's torque and horsepower. i would do the 3 in. cat back with the 3 in. downpipe. and if you are lucky enough to live in a state where emissions are checked, a cat delete pipe and then add the turbo outlet housing, you will feel the diff.

Yes it fits all EVO VIII turbos. I personally had one of these on my Titanium 16G with the 10.5 exhaust. The quality is very good actually, no fitment issues. Very good price also. Gains were not noticeable unless you dynoed it.
