Hey im new to evos and wats a good brand for the car and such i have a 2003 evo 8 with a DC sports catback exhaust and an AEM cai and tomorow im gonna order a downpipe and test pipe, does anybody have any recomendations or opinions about either test pipes or downpipes and if anybody has those parts and knows them first hand i would greatly appreciate it thanx again!!

 

I have the Cobb Test Pipe its not overly expensive and it gets the job done and its very good quality to

 

should i get it non catted cuz thats wat i was thinking of doing but i do that will my check engine light come on?

 

It depends on how you run your test pipe. Personally I'm going to go Buschur Racing for my full turbo back and I will be running a HFC. Just makes me feel better running that instead of a test pipe. You may want to look into buschur, heard lots of good things about them!

 

Megan downpipe, perfect fitment
I'm actually making my test pipe, looks too simple to buy, 2 flanges, 1 section of 3" tube and a O2 bung, I can' t see paying 120ish for that.

 

Yeah, I've been running a MR downpipe & testpipe for 2 years now. No problems at all.

I don't think name brands match. 3" is 3"

 

Buschur has a great TBE, and utilizing a HFC from Buschur might be better for you if you are trying not to send a CEL. But it still might. Anyway, Invidia DP, HKS DP, and others mentioned above are pretty much all made to amtch the 3" you want. IMOP, staying with one complete system is best. Companies didn't design their TBE to be mismatched. They were engineered to work together. Why not save up and purchase the whole thing with a good O2 as well. Again, Buschur has it down pat.

One last thing... Since you have an 03 Evo, did last owner purchase the 10.5 hotside?? If not, then that would be highly recommended. GL which ever way you go...

 

get DC sports, it skips the cat. saves you a spot that can leak, and you get the whole thing done in 1 shot. we sell them for 255 shipped, let me know man!!

 

if you use a CEL FIX your CEL light won't come on. When i installed my test pipe at first i forgot to do that and got the check engine light but then i put it on reset the code and nothings happened since.

 

thanx alot guys another possibility was to jus sell my catback and jus purchase the turboback idk though
