i have a 03 evo and i want to get a 10.5 hotside.

and does the TME one or a regular 05 one work better.

 

Im pretty sure there somewhat the same but Im probably wrong. Forcedperformance.com should have the hotsides.

 

The O5 MR hotside is supposed to flow a little better but i dought you would feel a difference.

FOrced Performance.

It's the hotside from the '05 MR. $249.99

 

so just getting this hotside will produce better numbers with upgrades? i mean its only 249 and if having the bigger hotside that much better as most 05'ers claim then why dont all 03-04 evo owners do this first? also, to those who have done this. will it be bolt on install? or trouble filled project? will all the original parts from the 03-04evo be retained? also sorry if this isnt pertaining to the original question but i would really like to know.

 

you gotta pull off the downpipe and exhaust manifold. So it would be a good idea to get some new gaskets for that part of the exhaust. Also you should look into some new studs for the hotside. The stock ones can be damaged during removal.

 

Theres a tutorial in the help section on how to swap hotsides. Not the easiest job though, prepare to spend time.

 

Anyone have other resources for purchase of 10.5??? FP won't return my calls so far and Mitsu wants $700 for it ...

Thanks!

 

I may be selling a brand new, never used one in a couple of weeks, that is if the IX MR gets here soon!

 

Can't wait that long - need it w/in 1.5 wks...
