looks like there's a lot of silver at that meet so far...I'm going to try and make it, but I might get stuck with a final around then.

Haha yea there sure is...just let us know closer to that date sometime then

I'll definitely be able to make it but my car might be in for a rebuild then...it'll be close! It might be a good thing if mine isn't there though cause I'll be able to shoot video and pics out of Garcia's window or something if we go for a ride...nah...nevermind, she's gotta be there...

I started off with a Buschur catback and then build from there and installed the parts as I got them.

Yeah AMS is 3-bolt - forgot about that, they had to be different........unless you go buschur or another 2 bolt style flange your stuck.

Actually i think the AMS is a 3 bolt design. At least the DP is. So no it won't bolt up unless you do some modifications.

I think the 3 bolt is way better. Its a ***** to get the two bolt to not flex and make a gap.

Actually slip fit is the way to go. Good thing i have a magnaflow Ti. FTW. I actually want to make the rest of my exhaust slip fit also. Someday!

Thank you guys for giving recommending Baierl Mitsubishi. It was the best service experience I've ever had, hands down. Mike (the tech) was extremely knowledgeable and a real nice guy. I'll recommend them to every mitsu owner I meet.

Thanks again.

April 11 Meet

I should be able to make the 4-11 meet. I will have to get off work but it is far enough in advance it shouldn't be a problem. Count me in, if it changes I'll post.

My Car: 2005 Yellow Evo

I just got my exhaust manifold back after being coated at Jet Hot. I then painted a few other things under the hood to match. Let me know what you guys think. (The header gets to about the exact same color as the paint when not totally cold.)
