Power takes priority over looks. Going faster looks better than looking faster.

Power should come first since you have an evo..if you have a wimpy 120 hp motor like me..theres no hope lol. But im saving up for a RRM Turbo for this summer...maybe then i can keep up with the pack of evos that are stock...but anyways....you have 276 hp.....you should definitely bump it up and step up your game so you can **** on people with WRXs...Turbo Back All the Way! If i tried stepping up my game with simple bolt ons..who am i going to smoke? A honda civic 1.7 liter? LoL...At least you got somethin to start with so POWER ALL THE WAY.

Minus the tails defeats the purpose of the styling. The tail is the Evo's styling trademark. And is functional.

Uh, I hope he was talking about the "tails," meaning the tail lights, not the wing. If not, then shame on him.

well..mr. slappy does have a point since every little civic on the street sticks them on and makes them look cool...kind of a Ricer Trademark to me..but eh...if it comes with them...its ok cause theres nothing rice about it since you got 276 hp to start with under the hood. I can understand where you are both coming from....I wish i had an evo...I want to hang myself everyday when i step on my gas ...Oh well..better things to come in the future!

go then go

get a base flash from TT and an mbc and you get 50whp for less than $500 (not exactly sure how much $) then go for your tb for additional 10-15 whp, looks and sound. Maybe some wt. advantage if you get the ti catback from Greddy, and while you're there look into the high flow cats and dp's. And remember what ever you do don't change your bov unless you have a standalone or you'll find out the hard way.

have you considered suspension & handling to the mix?


I'm all about that...

the amount you spend on a catback you can invest a bit more and get a nice coilover package, or sway bars and rear strut bar...bigger brakes...etc...

def not style...car looks beautiful as it is.

Power is always the best bet in your car. Look can be deceiving and muscle beat looks any day.
