what are the differences between these evos? hks hi-flo exhaust system is only or 03-04 isnt the 05 basicly the same? my dad friend has one on his car but when i searched it up it only has it for 03-04, i tryed the search botton a couple of times and it doesnt work which is why i decided to post, sorry if it is a repose.

 

the hotside is diff in the 03and04 to the 05 also the lsd

 

is there variable valve timing, or as Mitsu calls it "MIVEC" in the 03 version of the Evo? I believe that I saw somewhere that it was left out... but hey, could be wrong!

 

Nope, only the 06 models

 

WTF ?? you got tobe kidding me?? only the evo 9 have Mivec. i hope you are just trying to be funny

 

ooops not 03, i mean evo 8... brain fart

 

okay you idot. Dug i know what meant to say stupid. even the 8 doesn't have MIVEC, are you stupid or what ? ONLY 06 EVO AKA EVO 9 HAVE MIVEC.

 

I think that the ECU's came mapped differently from the factory. The '05's have more agressive fuel and timing maps than the 03 models, due mostly to the 10.5 vs. the 9.8 hotside.

 

I hope you're kidding, cuz you sound like an asswipe. This is the newb forum, you know, for newbs to ask stupid ****. It's okay for him ask stuff like that here so it doesn't dilute the other forums. You don't need to be like that here. If newb questions bother you so much, don't come here.

 

Oh, I reread your post and finally realized that you were asking about differences as they relate to fitment of aftermarket exhaust systems. Sorry.

Anyway, and i may be way wrong, and most likely am...however, I think that in ´05 Mitsubishi Motors went to a different front diff setup on the USDM Evo´s and that some aftermarket downpipes(and catbacks?) originally designed for the ´03 & ´04 USDM Evo´s had resulting clearance issues. Correct me if I´m wrong, guys.

My Megan downpipe which I ordered for a 2004 USDM Evo while my car has ACD(so my car is actually more like a USDM ´05 model) has MAJOR clearance issues...I really had to stack washers for the chassis bars to clear and it screwed up the relationship, or clearance, between muffler tip and the cutaway in my JDM bumper.

So, research before assuming that the exhaust from a 2003 is automatically gonna fit your 2005. Nowadays, most of the vendors or exhaust manufacturers are pretty savvy and will specify which year their product is designed to fit. Many of the newer systems are designed to work on both the ´03-04 cars, as well as the ´05´s. Some of the earlier designs have been updated so as they provide total 03-05 fitment.

 

do 06's have a stutter box like the 04 and up?

 

wow... gotta love the tough guys behind the keyboard... if you grammatically break down what i was trying to say, i was saying that the 8 (meaning evo 8, to CLARIFY WITH YOU) does not have mivec, when in my original post i said 03 by mistake... i am sincerly sorry that you reading this made you so infuriated that you decided to type that "i am an idiot." i obviously offended you in some way

maybe my grammer is not that good, but i do not know what "dug i know what meant to say stupid" means... if that makes sense then i guess THIS post deserves to get flamed too...

 

MY BAD. I WILL APOLIGIZE

 

Right on, brotha.

 

Don't worry V-boy is a troll. j/k
