kinda confused about the evo tbe....most downpipes on cars eliminates the cats well i just read that a downpipe for the evo doesnt eliminate the cat....so for example...in my case i really like the hks exhuasts...either hi power or cfTI.....will i have to get that then also (for example) a helix test pipe and ALSO a helix downpipe?i just wanna make sure i have a full straight through exhaust with no fitting problems and what not...and also while im doing the exhaust i would like to do everything exhaust wise only once and not have to mess with it again....is there anything else i should do? o2 housing,etc.? thanks alot!

 

TBE consists of a Downpipe, some type of cat replacement -- be it a high flow cat or a cat delete and then the cat-back system. 3 parts -- as for the fitting issues you may run into -- I couldn't tell you. I have a one manufacturer system

 

that is correct, downpipe, test pipe or high flow cat, and catback. The o2 housing is a nice addition but most people don't do it. You will also need to do something about your o2 sensor if you put a straight pipe on it because it'll throw codes. You can either get a 02 simulator or space out the o2 with 2 18mm antifoul spark plug adapters that you have to drill out to 1/2 inch in the center. I did it this way, cheaper and works great, only cost $5 for the parts.

 

Good point, i forgot to mention that.

Being at work and faking to work is hard work -- makes you forget stuff haha!

 

cool thanks guys...thats what i figured but i just wanted to double check...if anyone has a a hks catback but other cat delete and downpipe let me know what you have and how it fit...im trying to stay semi-affordable yet very effective...also really loud and mean sounding.

 

If you get a Helix or Ultimate Racing Cat delete pipe it has a built in manual o2 fix.

 

the helix was the one i was looking into...i was going to do the helix DP and test pipe...then the hks exhaust...either hi power or cf ti...whatever i get i just want it to be the best for power and sound MEAN as hell and also last awhile.

 

If you're concerned about price, you won't get an HKS cat-back.

 

A racoon and some fruit juice.

 

i have turboXS tbe and it sounds MEAN as hell and is like $900 for full tbe

 

i got my full tbe for less than 600
