Looking for a downpipe that fits '05 and reuses the stock donut gasket/bolts, etc.

It's been difficult to determine which ones actually fit '05's...to many varying opinions.

I will be bolting up to 3" high-flow cat.

Thanks.

 

I have a RSR downpipe on my 05 gsr but it has a built in cat delete so I don't think it is what you are looking for.

I'm also in the market for something like this but everyone (vendors) just say "I've sold a bunch with no complaints". Really I would like a true answer on this as well.

I have an AMS turbo back and it fit perfectly on my 05.

 

No problem with a 3" Ivida DP. Had to space out the underbody strut braces though. Later on bought a RMR 5 point underbody brace

 

If an Invidia works on an 05 model. I have one for sale. Check my signature for the price. I also made custom aluminum lower tie bars so you dont have to use spacers. I am giving these away free with the downpipe.

The turboXS downpipe fits the MR 100% guaranteed


Edit: (but it uses its own donut gakset and bolts(included with kit)

Our downpipe fits the '05 perfectly and uses the stock donut, springs, and bolts. We spend extra money having a custom flange made to fit exactly like the stock one does. Why change a very good design that has lots of time and money into R&D with something someone whipped up in their shop in a day? I've seen some really hokey Evo downpipes in the past year.

 

I have the Tanabe 70mm downpipe on my MR and it fits perfect, it doesn't rub on anything and clears the stock under braces just fine.

 

Good stuff! I'll need one for my 05 at some point too. So far there's AMS, Tanabe, TXS confirmed... Anyone else? I'd like to eliminate those with flex sections too if possible.

Does the AMS bolt onto the stock cat, btw? TXS?

 

Helix Confirmed: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=156118

 

Damn!!! I sold my Helix to a friend without trying it because others and vendors told me it wouldn't fit....Hmmmm, need to get it back yes? ;-)

 

Why in the hell would you like the stock donut gasket? As far as I am concerned the Works Downpipe not only fits the 05 well but it also comes with a huge donut wich is a good 20% bigger than the stock.

Basicly what I am trying to say is that if you resuse the stock donut you would not unleash all the flow that a 3" downpipe could produce due to the restriction you are imposing on the stock donut diameter, You know what I mean?

 

FromWRXtoEVO? Just wondering are you running the stock cat with that setup?
