Megan Racing TBE

After that, make sure the rubber mount on the exhaust to the right of the hanger (looking from the rear of the car). The muffler tip should be centered at that point.

i have a perrin electric cel fix to for back up in case the antifoulers dont work.
according to zeus the IX specific tbe is to come out later this month. did u try rotating your midpipe 180 degrees?

The catback fit my friends IX with no problem with mating the brackets (just had to fabricate your own hardware), check out the pics on page 1 of this thread especially of the flange orientation.
Make sure you rotate the flange connecting the midpipe next to the rear floorboard (fuel tank liner area) 180 degrees to ensure no contact is made during driving.

Official Megan fitment...
Just to dispel any myths... You might be able to MAKE the 03-04 Megan system (the only system currently sold by Megan) fit an 05-06 Evo. However, I deal solely with the Head Honcho at Megan, and deal with NO ONE else there. There have been enough fitment issues that he decided to have 05-06 systems redesigned. Those, I'm told, will not be available until later this month or early May. So yes you might be able to fit one of these current systems on your later model Evo, and I'm sure someone out there will be glad to sell you the 03-04 fitment for your 05-06. However, since problems have been identified by Megan, I will not. I've been through that already with past customers, and I don't think customers should have to play Russian Roulette as to whether they will have fitment issues or not. I have current customers who are waiting on parts because in fact the 03-04 system did not fit their 05'.
I just wanted to clear the air on that one... my suggestion is that people wait for the official fitment per Megan for their model year.
