AMS widemouth downpipe fits JDM vehicles?

I read on the AMS website that the AMS downpipe for EVO X did not fit RHD vehicles. Then I see on the AMS website the turbo back exhaust kit, which includes an AMS widemouth down pipe fits European and JDM vehicles. Well, JDM vehicles are RHD, aren't they? They drive on the left hand side of the road in Japan, so I'm sort of assuming the steering is on the right hand side of the vehicle. Has anyone tried the AMS downpipe on a JDM or RHD vehicle? Is there a definitive answer in the house?

In case anyone is going to tell me the downpipe won[t work on a Ralliart, I have an EVO X turbo and exhaust manifold waiting to go on my RHD Ralliart, just looking for the right downpipe and turbo outlet combo.

I have a JDM RHD. The AMS will not fit your car if its RHD. to my knowledge, apart from all the obvious JDM manufacturers, Ultimate racing makes a O2 DP combo specifically for RHD's. I bought one and the fitment was perfect. Great company to deal with as well. I also bought a mini muffler test pipe from them as well as UICP. Great fitment and fantastic customer service.

This is correct, the wide mouth downpipe will not fit right hand drive vehicles.

thanks. Agree UR is good to work with, have one of their downpipes and high flow steel cat on my ralliart now, with the stock ralliart turbo. I had the full turbo-back exhaust, it was too loud, too much drone, took off the cat back part and replaced with original. Looking for a buyer in Oz for the cat back.
