1: I was going out to dinner tonight, and all of a sudden at about 28, 29 hundred RPMS, my Evo got really, really loud. Like the exhaust sounded 2x louder than normal. I have an 03' Evo 8, and it only has about 26,700 miles on it. Anyone know whats wrong???!?


2: I was about to get ready to buy a new clutch for it, anyone have suggestions on what clutch I should get? between 280-360 HP on it (havent dyno'd recently)

 

maybe you hit vtech jk

As far as a clutch recommendation goes, go with an exedy twin disk clutch

 

I almost pee'd a little from laughing when you said that. haha. no but seriously

 

you prolly have an exhaust leak somewhere

+1 on the exedy twin

 

HAHAHAHHA funny you mention this... Is it stock exhaust?

This EXACT same thing happened to me when I had stock exhaust. The weld on the one resonator BROKE!!!!!! The exhaust completly seperated. Check to see if your exhaust broke. It's very likely it may have..

If it's not stock, then I'm not sure what to suggest...

 

its the exhaust that comes with the vishnu stage1_360 kit

and if that did happen. what should I do???o.O

 

dude, i have exactly the same thing. 29, 29 hundered RPMS same thing happens to me, i dont know what is going on either. i kind of think it has something to do with the engine though. either that your the exhaust is vibrating somewhere at that certain RPM, most likely the cat-forward.

 

note: i dont have a stock exhaust

 

yeah, I don't know what to do.

2: what about the, Clutch Masters Stage 1 Clutch Mitsubishi EVO VIII 2.0L 03-04
Model: 05-106-HD00 List: $505.99

I dont have 2 grand to spend on a clutch kit

 

I'd still place my bet on an exhaust leak.

As far as clutch goes just get an ACT HDSS if your only wanting around 360hp.

 

Is it just loud? Or does it rattle? Does it only do it at those RPMS? or "starting" at those RPMS? Post a sound clip, and we can fix it if it is the exhaust.

 

It does the loudness even in nuetral just rev'ing

I found my recent sheet, its at about 325 HP, so any clutch suggestions under 600 bucks? that are worthwhile. Heard the Clutchmasters kevlar is pretty good, friend had one on his evo 9, pushing 736 AWHP

 

nothing or how to fix it?

 

you need to get under the car and try to identify the problem

we aren't miracle workers unfortunately try as we might

 

liar!!! I know we all are deaf mutes!!!!
