Pics of AVO exhaust installed?

Can anyone post pics of the AVO catback on their Evo? Preferably different angle rear shots of it coming out of the rear bumper outlet. Thanks.

Notice on the second pic that the tip looks almost the same as stock except slightly larger in diameter.

Ok, just installed this last night. Very easy install, perfect fitment. I have one tiny leak at the cat which I will fix when I do my downpipe. FYI: It is not 2 piece like the picture on brainstorm's site shows. It is 3 pieces, and the middle piece has a resonator near the end. I was a little pissed when I found out it wasn't the same as the picture, but once I installed it and saw how perfect it fits and looks, I was happy. It is slightly louder and deeper than stock, straight through, and I feel a bit more power, especially higher in the revs. Judging by feel, it's only a little lighter than stock, but super high quality.
I'll try to get some pictures up tomorrow.

Update:
I've got some things to add after having the AVO Catback for 1 week. Not sure if all exhausts experience this but- the car is much more willing to hang out at higher rpm's. There is also less engine braking when you are off the throttle, and bucking behavior is slightly reduced. To me it makes sense that because the engine is more willing to stay at 3K and above with the same throttle pressure, and there is less engine braking, there must be an improvement in gas mileage. I haven't been through a whole take of gas yet, so I haven't checked for sure. Anyone else feel these things about the AVO or their exhaust? I do not notice any negative effects of having this exhaust and it leaves me wondering why mitsubishi put that flapper valve on the stock muffler.

Thanks alot for the pictures! That looks just like stock! All one has to do is paint the muffler black and your set. All we need are sound clips. I wish I had seen these pictures before I got the Greddy Titanium. It isn't installed though. Maybe I can try to seel it. The thing about the Greddy is that it is super light! I am actuall polishing it. So if I were to sell it, the buyer will have polished titanium!

One thing though. If I were to upgrade to a 3 inch cat, will the AVO bolt on? The Greddy necks down also, but it necks to 3 inches from 3 1/4 inch piping. Thanks again for the pics, a big help!

I don't think the AVO would bolt up to a 3" cat, but you could always have a 3" flange welded on if you wanted to run a 3" cat. Maybe the ultimate exhaust would be a Ti AVO. I was also wondering about the titanium exhaust that Vandetta Motorsports was designing. I wonder if it will have a round or oval muffler. Post some pictures if you put that polished titanium greddy on

Avo

I also got the full avo exhaust and 3in high flow cat from Ultimate racing and it fits like a charm, not fitment problems.

Thanks, Evo8Master, good to know. If you were ever running the stock cat with the AVO, did you notice a big change after switching to the UR cat? What about sound wise?

avo

The loudness is about the same. It pulls a little more at the top with the high flow cat. I think its better than straight pipe since I live in Cali, I dont want to deal with smoke odors of catless exhausts ever again!!!
