So I read that the VIII and the IX have different dowpipes becasue of ACD but most exhaust companies are just selling for VIII's & IX's, how can I make sure I'm getting an exhaust that will clear everything for a IX?

 

my AMS TBE cleared everything just fine on my IX.

 

My AMS did as well.

 

Buschur clears it fine as well. Just make sure you specify IX, not sure if they have 2 different downpipes or not.

 

I'm looking at the Turbo XS TBE and it says for VIII and IX, not one for VIII and one for IX. I remember seeing a post on here with a ton of pics of downpipes but I don't remember where I saw it at.

 

Did anyone with a IX have any fitment issues with ACD when installing TBE?

 

To all the Exhuast Guru's... HELP, I don't want to order a $900 exhuast and it not fit.

 

assume its for an VIII if its not specified for either.

 

The only Evo VIII downpipes that I've heard not clearing the ACD unit are the eBay and Megan downpipes, and both are also available in Evo IX versions.

 

I would go with the buschur bullet tbe,amazing fit and quality also sounds sick,nothing sound like it at wideopen throttle and the best part is its superlight makes the most power and stealth looking.not only that its not made in china like the ebay ones megan or turbo xs the fitmet sucks, the muffler rubs against the bumper cut out.

 

I'm actually looking at getting a Greddy or Turbo XS, Buschur sounds alittle too much like a honda, IMO.

 

I heard the 3" Perrin Downpipe clears the ACD very well. Can anyone confirm this though?

 

where did the sound clip,if you heard on youtube that's the old style tbe racing exhuast,go to buschur webesite click on vids then listen to their clip.it also sound alot different in person,sounds very deep and throaty and when the turbo kicks in sounds like an aniamal.My friend has the turbo xs and that thing sounds like a broken up raspy fart can not only that its attracts to much,plus its made in tiawian cheap quality stainless steal and flanges that leak after a while. Band clamps are lighter and don't need for gasket replacements the buschur tbe with test pipe has the least bends which is also important to think about AND IT'S MADE IN THE USA.

 

THE perrin does clear the acd.Alot these so called exhuasts that sell as 3inch are not true 3 inchs only about 6 exhuasts on the market are.There was a thread on this a while back on testing with a beer can and alot them failed the test.buschur exhuast passed with flying colors.
