Anyone know a good place to get a new race pipe made that's not going to be ridiculously priced??

Also something that concerns me. Trying to get the pipe to line back up is harder than I would think. Because there is no hanger in the middle area to hold the exhaust it seems to put an unnecessary strain on these welded flange areas (which would explain why they cracked the way that they did). No matter how tight I tried to bolts these parts in the very bottom of the flange was exposed causing a huge exhaust leak through the gasket. Not sure how to remedy that one.

 

Hate to say but maybe another brand exhaust that fits better.

 

Where did you get the wheels powdercoated? I want mine done too, just have no idea where to do it.

 

SRT, just grad one from Ultimate Racing. Their 3" test pipe is only $75 per their website. You are still stock flanged on both ends right? That's what theirs is. It has a mechanical o2 fix too, so no non-foulers or sim's necessary.

 

Word, thanks Bob I'll check it out. I'm going to be getting the pipe rewelded tomorrow just to work in the mean time.

I may also just take Ben's advice and get a better fitting exhaust. I really liked my Buschur TBE that I had on my first Evo, so I might go that route again. Sounded way better than the ricer sound I'm greeted with now!

 

Turns out the race pipe is titanium. Couldn't be rewelded!

 

You have luck like me. Time for a Buschur TBE

 

Buschur TBE FTW... have been running the same one for almost 6 years with zero issues...

 

I'm not new to the area, just my EVO!! Just wanted to say whats up to everyone. Are there an meets in the area or track nights? Let me know the deal. See you all on the street!

 

Which Evo is yours??

 

I drive a AS 03 EVO 8... Pretty stock on the outside except its lowered 1". I have the new style NY plates.. there an ugly blue and yellow!!! Im sure this doesnt narrow it down to much, just driving around today i saw 2 other AS evos!

 

Yeah man the AS 8's are freaking everywhere here. Stupid affordable Evo's now!!!

I think I'm the only BBY in town. So if you see that then that's me. Black wheels, Rex wing and JDM 9 Rear bumper.

 

^^^^^^^^do you still need that BOV sir?

 

I actually got them done at a place in Myrtle Beach, SC when I lived down there...They have been powder coated for 3 yrs now...

 

What's the name and how much did they run you? I was just at Myrtle yesterday too. Will have to wait until I get back from deployment but I definitely want it done.
