IX Downpipe Question
3" DP fitment on the 6 speeds can be a bit touchy. Our standard exhaust option is getting reworked now for proper fitment without having to resort to smaller pipe diameter. Should have been ready a couple of weeks ago but you know how things go...

Did you have to shimmy the front tie bar to make it fit on the EVO 9 MR?

DC Sport DP
I have the DC Sport downpipe on my 2005 MR and it clears the ACD. I am not sure if it will clear the lower arm bar because my MR came without it (Still trying to get the dealer to give me one).
I do have an issue where my O2 sensor is rubbing againts the bottom of the car. I am not sure if its because of the downpipe or the catback. My initial assesment is that is the catback (authority 3") has the O2 port angled too high.

Do you have any pixs? I would think the rubbing would have to do with the CB exhaust system instead of the DC Sport DP......cuz the O2 bung is located on the TB exhaust system and would have no effect on the O2 bung location
