This is a stupid post I'm aware but I'm currently deployed and I would like to know if at all possible what exhaust the previous owner installed.

It's probably impossible to know but any guess?

 

Looks like my hks kinda. Hard to see in that pic

 

agreed it kinda looks like my hks hi power. but hard to tell bc its so dark.

 

HKS or it kinda looks like the Turbo XS one also

 

I was thinking turbo XS.

Not knowing makes me want to get rid of it and re-do it from the turbo back so I know 100 percent shes golden. haha.

 

My hks says hks on the tip so u would know for sure after looking at it..

 

^lol yea i hear ya man. Or just check over the whole exhaust. If everything seems alright with it then i would say use it for awhile ya know. As long as its not cracked, bent, or leaking or anything and u like the look of it i would say keep it. That money can be used towards a Fp Black or something

 

How'd you know? Fpblack all day. How bout this picture my buddy took of the engine bay the day he picked it up for me..

Obviously the airbox is gone.. Just a filter with stock MAF I assume? That is the stock piping correct?

Wonder why the Heatshield is gone on the Turbo Manifold.

This the best way to go on stock turbo I assume

 

looks like mine , HKS Hi-power

 

Stock intercooler pipes and the bolts are broken off in the exh manifold for the heat shield . Looks like a stock maf for sure

 

Looks real rusty under the hood also. Bolts and brackets are real rusty

 

Thank you sir.

 

lol Im good a guesser hahaha From what i see it has the stock upper intercooler pipe. Intake with the Maf. I cant tell if its on a stock blow off valve which i think it is. I wonder why the heat shield is removed. Sometimes people just remove it. When i was on the stock turbo when i first bought my car, i removed it. Timing belt cover is off, hmm. The car doesnt look like it was too modified or anything.

 

actually , greddy type r. I believe they are discontinued?

Correct on everything else, and yes I did notice a bit of rust. Might have to do some touch up when shes in my hands next month.

heres a close up



Thank you everyone , yall are helpful. I just purchased the car a few months ago and was in the srt-4 fan boy world before, I'm sorry to say.

 

If it was my car I would assume it was previously cammed, upgraded manifold or turbo, and possibly intercooler and pipes due to it being put back to stock with worm clamps. That is worst case scenario. Looks like you should go over the car with a find toothed comb to make sure they didn't half *** anything when putting it back to stock.

List of things to do:

Get rid of that greddy pos valve and get a synapse
Get t-bolt clamps for your intercooler piping
Boost leak test
Cam Gear cover


Enjoy your evo!
