Hell I am looking at putting a map exhaust manifold on my Evo x I was wondering what gains I would see if anyone has experience with this product and does it require a tune thanks
Here is a link to the product

What other mods?

 

Other mods so far hfc, injen cold air, and greddy single exit exhaust

 

Without a tune I think you'll see a VERY tiny difference, but with a tune you stand to pick up several HP.

Your most important mod right now that you're missing is an upper intercooler pipe, it's the best bang for the buck before the exhaust manifold, intercooler, downpipe, etc.

Of course tuning is always the best bang for the buck if you don't already have a tune. Installing the exhaust manifold won't require a tune, but it won't do you much good without either.

 

Oh forgot to mention also have an upper intercooler pipe. My bad. Ok I was just wondering because I am looking to get everything kind of bought then do a tune just didn't know if it would hurt the car if I don't for like a month is all.

 

No, it won't hurt. You just won't see most of the benefit yet.

I'm not sure if anyone has tested, but a downpipe vs exhaust manifold is probably a close call in terms of benefit. Both are minimal but both are worth a bit.

 

Ok thank you for the help

 

Its the lower ic pipibg thats more important then the upper.

 

What brand lower intercooler pipe would you recommend? Rjfg

 

Buschur

 

To be fair, a hard pipe is a hard pipe. Assuming same diameter, the cheapest one is the best one.

That being said, I really like ETS parts and that's pretty much all I buy.

 

Thanks for the help guys I will defiantly take a look at both products

 

Love my ets upper

 

Has anyone tried the ams lower intercooler hose found a good deal on one?

 

our stock licp is already a hard pipe, its not worth it to buy a new one
