Just put my downpipe in.... the install went alright but the front bar doesnt clear the dp.... the rear one was fine using the spacers that came with it... but the front one still hits even using the spacers, so i just left it off... so what should i do? is it a big deal that its off?

 

You have to go buy some more spacers.
I had the same problem. I just used a bunch of washers.

 

put more washers in or to solve the problem and get a stiffer chassis put in a rmr lower brace in. it will clear any dp and stiffen up your chassis to boot.

 

But its not really a big deal if i leave it off for a few days until i get a new brace or some washers right?

 

I installed the TurboXS DP on my Evo8 last year with no spacers and it is about 1/16" away from the front bar. It does come in contact sometimes depending on the temperature. Try tightening the bolts where it meets the turbo to try and suck it up some.

 

+1, I also have a 2005 with Turbo XS downpipe and did the same as above. No prblem what so ever. I aslo left the braces off for a couple of days.

My buddy with his 05 had the same problem, we just grabbed some spacers, put em on and it was good to go!

 

Is anybody using this downpipe with a Buschur turbo kit...I am not convinced if this downpipe will work with a aftermarket turbo....
