local Pittsburgh Meet
it would be the same as a regular down pipe, you cant really tell a difference in sound until your at least 10psi into boost maybe a little more.. the more your on the throttle the louder it gets if your cruising at 80 and barly on the throttle its not going to be loud. i can take you for a ride next meet or when ever if you want.
sabe, it didnt have an engine in it, i was up there when he first got that car in.... said he'd never seen a more beat up engine in his life (which says a lot), so i think the owner scrapped it or sold it to dan and now they are trying to get rid of it
buuuut, im sure you could get a good deal on a build if you bought the shell

on the surface it looks pretty clean. it's got a decent list of mods, but it's a private seller. if it runs strong you might be able to bargain him down a bit?

I would certainly hope so. haha. If I had won the lottery, that's where I'd start for a track car. Considering the condition mine's in, I'm hesitant to race it too much.

im not really up to date with used evo prices, as i havent been in the market for another car in a while. However, if that seller is legit id jump all over purchasing that
last christmas i went to baierl to see about trading in my IX on an X, they offered me just shy of $20,000 for it with about 30k on the odo.
if this car is as pristine as it looks, and with low miles, i wouldn't be too upset about 16,500 = 17,000 for it.
Used VIII's and used IX's are totally different markets. VIII's are trading at low prices. Low teens. Much to the chagrin of their owners. IX's seem to at least be staying around 20.
Fwiw, just to clear up rumors and hersay about 03's from the EVO guru's out there. I did some math.
In the last 3 years I have launched the car off the 6000 rpm two step, right around 400 times. All in compitition situations. About 50 of those were on a stock clutch and the rest on an excedy twin. Needless to say she is still going strong. Now I did install a front LSD ( which you really need) but other then that bone stock. Then factor in all the high rpm downshift and the countless hours beating the **** out of the car on track. Now I don't believe I have a super car and I'm sure that some EVO's have had problems. But, to think that the 03's are somehow not ad strong is rediculous.
Now that I just cursed myself talking about it I'm sure I'm doomed. I've been waiting.

Not sure I would agree - I have an 06 and I have 63k miles on mine.....just turned 3 years old in August. So if mine were an 03 I would have anywhere from 115k to 130k I'd imagine? I do a lot of traveling and driving to and from my hometown, job sites, vacation etc.
Also prior to my 06 I had an 04 for not even a year and put 20k miles on it....when I bought it it had 8.5k when I traded it in I was at 28.5k - this car was purchased in Oct. 05 and traded Aug of 06.
So projecting if I still had that car I would be at about 100k miles with a year newer than 2003 so tack on another 20-23k miles. So I would say that car is on par with someone who travels a lot - if one thing I know its how to put miles on a car

lol i feel you trav on knowing how to put miles on a car. I have an '06 and have more miles than you and the previous 68k mentioned.
