yea it was cheaper before when i first was going to get it in feb when i had an ebay manifold but i didnt get it cause i went for the speedcorps one wish i didnt cause i be boosting already cause the manifold was all i need but i got one now i just got to wait till next week to buy it

 

Alright I sent them an email for their availability of it and some specs, I wanna know the thickness of the flange to compare to RRM's

 

My current ram horn manifold is using the BMC Race 4G9x flange. I will definitely be buying another for my new manifold next summer.

 

Good enough for me as long as I know there not crappy and will hold up fine then thats what I will do. Man I cant wait I wish I could just buy the remaining stuff right now!!! Patience young padawon lol.

 

Ok so this question has probably been answered before but can I just a take a whole 3" aftermarket evo exhaust and mount it up? I will have my turbo setup to accept a evo dp so will the rest fit? I think were pretty much the same length right? Maybe the hangers might just need adjusted or something?

 

The Evo exhaust takes a different path compared to the Lancer. The Evo exhaust stays in the center of the vehicle all the way to the rear diff and does a soft angled bend to the muffer. The Lancer exhaust has a different rear suspension and the exhaust bends before the rear suspension and goes over the passenger side rear lower control arm. If you used an Evo exhaust it would be angled downward from the cat to clear underneath the rear suspension and would most definitely scrape every bump on the road. Then you would need to weld all new hangers to locate to the Lancer exhaust hanger bushings.

 

i used an aftermarket evo exhaust and i just had meineki change the part where it goes over the rear right control arm. 160 to do it! but now i have a full 3 inch magnaflow

 

Ok, there is a dude selling a 3" megan evo exhaust for $200 obo looks brand new on CL near me debating it...

 

Is it really a full 3in. all the way back or does it go down to a smaller size around that control arm? When my exhaust guy did my exhaust, I put 2 1/2in. all the way back to ready it for turbo and he told me I wouldnt be able to get anything else through there without clearance issues, especially if I lower as the control arm would be in a different position. I was just going to do a 3in. back to the control arms and run a dual 2in. back through both sides of the car. Maybe. If I could get an aftermarket fiberglass bumper and do some fabbing to make it work. My exhaust guy said that 2 1/2 was as big as I can go.

 

Ok so still debating on the exhaust, however I am not sure on this. I am thinking I am gonna get just a 3 pod a pillar with Wideband, boost and ???? What would be the best gauge you guys? EGT, Fuel pressure, oil pressure. Basically in your experience which of these would be the most problamatic that I should keep an eye on it?

 

egt or oil pressure. egt will help in tuning more and help warn you of potential problems long before they happen.

 

Not the prettiest thing in the world, but it'll get the job done.







Still need to dremel out the runners to match better, and get a drill press to get those holes through. But ya, thats it.

 

mines full 3 inch, half stainless, half regular where it was modified

 

Why is everyone going the route of welding their manifolds that way? Ive seen two people now that have done that. When we talk about modifying the manifolds, dont you hack off the evo flange from an evo turbo header then weld on a lancer flange? I thought that was the way you were supposed to do it. Maybe Ive just been confused this entire time.

 

Sadly, both ways are just bad. Piggyback welding the flange is actually the better of the two. If you cut of the 4G63 flange and weld on the 4G94 flange, you have to pull the outer runners in to match up. This puts added strain on the existing welds and leads to inevitable cracking/breaking. Welding the 4G94 flange right onto the 4G63 flange does create issues as well (added welds, added strain to exhaust studs, turbo located even closer to radiator), but as I said it's technically the lesser of two evils. People don't want to pay up for a quality manifold so this is the result.
