what should i buy for my evo x mr. i currently have a custom intake system and a road tune.
so far my best bet is on some kind of downpipe?
any other suggestions?
thanks
John

 

rear sway bar and alignment

 

A downpipe alone will net zero performance gains. If you're getting an O2/downpipe combo, you'll see gains but will need to get a re-tune.

 

decat pipe agree on the retune comment for any breathing mods.....

 

thanks but im looking for power i should of specified that

 

only thing with that, wont taking out the o2 housing be a pain in the *** install? if removing the o2 housing and installing the combo pipe can be done without a welding or sautering than i can prob do it. but how much of a pain in the *** is it?
retune is no problem

 

A test pipe is probably the best thing you can do for under $300 for power. Some UICP will help too if you don't want to get a re-tune. It provides quicker spool and makes the car feel much better at higher RPM's.

 

I've heard the O2 housing installation is a major pain in the ***. I had a local shop install mine, I couldn't be bothered. No welding or soldering would be required, it's just difficult to remove all the bolts on the stock pieces.

 

$300 isnt much to work with

its barely enough for a tune. if you can somehow get a test pipe and/or a mbc and tune, then you'll see good gains. BUT if you just get a tune with a stock evo X you'll be happy...they gain a lot of power

 

so far I like my test pipe w/ resonator. If you could add a little more to the 300 you could get the tsudo exaust. Thats my next planned mod.

 

i get free retunes at my shop cuz there straight.
after reading some of these and talking to friends ive narrowed it down.
IC pipes
test pipe
downpipe
fuel injectors

which one is the best for now?

 

I would do IC pipes for now. Then, when you have saved more money in the future, get a testpipe back exhaust,

 

ok, which ic pipes should i go with or are they all pretty much the same?
and is a retune necessary?

 

For $300, it's best you spend it where money is well spent. Get yourself a set of suspension upgrade.

Front and Rear sway bars is a good start.

 

i would bro but i live in flat south florida.
to be dead honest with you, their is almost no need for them down here.
its all straight roads with regular 45 degree turns onto the next street so
