thanks dante.

i lucked out with the lighting that day. it was cloudy about half the time which was giving me a real ncie diffuse light for some of the up close pictures i got, but then it would clear up and give me some nice bright direct light for the other pics.

i am gonna read up tonight on how to adjust my shutter speed and see if i can accomplish the effect with the water i want.

If any of you have the old style TTP downpipe(AKA megan racing) for the 05-06 EVO's/ It has a flex section. Take a look at your transfer case. I just had mine swapped out(thanks Mike) this morning and here is what it looked like. It was replaced with the new megan downpipe, no flex section which fits perfect.

If it isn't clear what you see is how the DP did not fit and rubbed away 1/16 of an inch into the t case. The spot is about the size of half a quarter.





The DP will fit the 03-04 cars fine so if anyone wants this one they can have it for pretty much nothing. Even has a bung welded in for the wideband. I hate the idea of just throwing it out.

I also had a powerflex front motor mount installed.

I really like it and would recommend it.

Ok this might be a dumb question but are you saying TTP is the owner and creator of Megan Racing? TTP being Track and Tarmac Performance? Or did he just buy the rights? Or what?

I really don't know the business end of things. I just know that generally if you bought a "TTP" part it could be mistaken for a megan racing part with the little "megan" tag removed.

Chances are if you bought one of these 05-06 DP's with a flex section, regardless of who "made" it you probably got the same part and should give your T-case a good hard look for what I pictured above. Some, like Buschur make their own stuff. Most don't.
