I'm looking to get a JDM IX Rear Bumper for my WW Evo VIII. I have a vishnu signature turbo back exhaust and was wondering if this exhaust would work with the rear bumper or if it will look stupid or stick out to far. If anyone has a picture of this or input please share. Thanks -Matt

 

more then likely if its an exhaust fitted for your 8 rear then yes it will, when i had my jdm rear installed my exhaust stuck out so bad it wasnt funny. i had to get it repositioned

 

It will stick out about 1-2 inches. have a muffler shop shorten it.

 

All the usdm exhaust are designed w/ USDM bumper in mind, I guarante it will stick out.

 

Has anyone use a jdm rear bumper w/ a usdm stock exhaust? How is the fittment issue? anyone knows?

 

Stock sticks out ok. It doesn't quite meet the edge of the USDM bumper so you are ok..

Thread poster, I have seen this exhaust in person shortened, made me want to buy it. Get the bumper, then get it shortened and you will be happy. I will see if I can find a picture for you, he is local to me here in NorCal...

Like I said, it looks great. Do it.

 

thanks sounds good, how is the installation on it? i checked forums for install but the one i found there werent' any pictures. i'm sure it is pretty self explainatory except for the riviting

 

Installation of the bumper?

If so, it was really easy. It was included in the buying price. And a guy met me there to buy my stock bumper, and my stock 9 wheels. It was really easy.

In all seriousness it looked easy from what I saw. You remove the tails, some trunk lining. I think for most people the hurdle is the rivet gun. Other than that it seemed pretty straight forward...

 

The name of the guy with it is on here. He goes by BigEd925 on here. I just found his photobucket, but he has a different exhaust on there. So you might want to PM him about it...

 

the stock stick out same far like my tanabe . i checked before with stock and this is how is looks like with tanabe.

 

I just sent BigEd925 an AIM message, hopefully he will help out. He's a real nice guy...

 

I have the Perrin catback along with JDM IX rear on my car. I'm pretty sure the Vishnu and Perrin are the same catbacks except Vishnu uses clamps.

It was impossible to install because the Magnaflow muffer section was hitting against the diffuser fins. No way to put on the exhaust unless I wanted it to crush against the bumper then have it melt from the heat.

The piping behind the muffler had to be cut to make it fit with the bumper. It cost me $50 at a local muffler shop. Hope this helps.

 

I have a JDM ix rear and had to cut the axel back pipe and muffler hangers to get the vishnu sig catback to fit.

 

thanks everyone for the input, biged925, what did you cut it with? thanks again -Matt

 

Here are a few pictures of my car with our exhaust on it that is designed to work with the JDM rear bumper. We offer this only in the Vband design which is $1075. It is not available with the highflow cat so it would be a catless system. The muffler is actually placed in the middle of the car where the cat normally is.

The tip is a straight angle cut tip.

Our system is the lightest stainless steel system on the market, TRUE full 3" design, made of 304 stainless steel and is the highest horsepower producing exhaust available for the evolution.
