looks cool. i sure hope you have more than duct tape holdin that together what's the trigger mechanism?

 

Final update...

Was out and about in the evo today

16psi on WG pressure felt great

some pump/e85/Q16 tuning coming very soon...

PS: any locals interested in an Innovative LC1 wideband kit with gauge let me know.

 

Another thought.

The oil and chipped roads might not be everywhere you go.

The RS has no sound deadening. None. Zero. Zilch. You will hear every little pebble that the tires kick up and hit the underside of your car I am used to the noise and don't even notice because I always have the radio on but it is constant, aided by my sticky street sweeper tires. You may also notice a similar noise in the rain or on wet roads.

 

potato gun launches went awesome today! ill upload some video of the gun powder one that made all the car alarms go off mine decided to shoot out the valve stem.

the trigger mechanism is a irrigation sprinkler valve that i modified and used a air gun to release the valve open.

haha yeah im used to it already. the droning titanium exhaust keeps the road noise down.

 

As soon as I bought my car they tar and chipped pretty much every road leading into work. Those advans were bad when it came to zinging rocks, I can only imagine what the RE01Rs are like!!

On a positive note I had to take my Azenis off since they were about to show cords so now with these cheap all seasons I put back on I can hit any road without hearing rocks I can't wait till these things wear out, if they ever do

 

Out of curiousity, How did you get a Magnaflow TI exhaust for the 9? I'm assuming this was used, and was originally for an 8? I didn't kno they actually fit the 9. These have been dissconitnued for quite awhile now. I kno because i was selling them. lol

 

thats a good question. the exhaust is a bushur downpipe to a custom 3inch test pipe to the magnaflow TI. I had no idea they didnt make it for the 9. The owner before me bought it new for the car. So i believe that the test pipe was made so it would fit the 9. I can snap some pics for you...the exhaust is truely nice and up to par with the other titanium systems

haha i hear ya, im running Khumo all seasons and they just wont freaking wear down! I do alot of backroad spirited driving and with little camber and zero toe they just dont seem to wear down.

 

An evo VIII exhaust will work on a IX, the only thing that wont work is 03-04 downpipes on 05-06 evo's due to the ACD.

So as long as you run the correct dp the rest will fit the same....

 

This evo looks like it will never find a home..

I thought the rear bumper was alittle different. I kne the DP was different.

Yes it is a great exhaust, i have one myself. It was actually made bye someone in Japan. Probably JIC. Magnaflow just outsourced these exhaust with there name on them. They only sold TI exhaust for 5 cars. They probably made less then 100 for the evo. Magnaflow still just dosn't have the name in the Sport compact market thats the only reason i can figure that these exhaust didn't sell well for them.

 

USDM VIII and IX rear bumper are the same.....unless your mad jdm yo.

 

reason(s) why?

not stock looking
wheels
gauges
vinyl on doors
price way to high
also has listed as 06 at bottom of page

 

little turbo whistle i found , and i wanted to share with everyone...



car is a little quieter than the video. Put an cat back on later in the day...
cant wait to finally get tuned! no more issues!

 

HAHAHAHA Nice Eric

Oh and thanks for lettin me get in a little 1st thru 4th rip today. First time I drove an Evo in a good minute.

I tell ya it wanted to scoot a good bit , even on just a B.S. base tune. 16psi . That Bastard is LOUD!!! haha. Looks like everything is working on it real well. I am very anxious to see the end results.

 

glad you enjoyed it. now get finished so we can roll out to some events/meets finally driving evo's again lol
