    Downpipes don't have O2 simulators. You normally have to buy them separate.

    Luckily, there are a few options:

    1) Buy a $50 get-rid-of-your-CEL box
    2) Buy some anti-foul bung things and hope they work
    3) DIY: http://www.vfaq.com/mods/O2bypass.html

    Old knowledge is good.

    Works products are extreemly well made, if you can afford it, get it.
    If not the Apexi 3" GT is a really nice option. It's a perfect fit, and it comes with an insulation wrap.

    I've just got my Fujitsubo DP about 1K miles ago, I love it =)

    My goals are modest as far as power, I'll be sticking with the OE turbo till it fails, then just get whatever upgrade is avail for the stocker. I thought I'd try the 2.7" diameter. The welds are beautiful with a light gold hue, the rear flange is invesment cast (heat resistance, durability, better seal to the cat) and the front is a smooth, well shaped exhaust "horn". My Evo is stock otherwise (I know I'm doing this backwards too =). The car takes off a little easier from a stop (always nice for smooth and gentle street starts with a full Starbucks), I hear a little more turbo goodness, the torque comes on a little earlier, totally fits with no rubs anywhere, under the stock tie bars with nice clearance, things are a bit more punchy everywhere, nothing major, but just "supportive". I'm happy with a part with no downsides (noise, rattles, leaks, fitment issues, poor quality, etc).

    Downpipes not fitting 05's ?

    RMR fits great on 05 just put one but you have to put a spacer to the 2nd tie bar like 1/2 inch to clear the dp (back) and the cross brace (RMR) you have to put a spacer too same 1/2 inch to clear the dp but i think thats the best fit for 05

    Downpipes not fitting 05's ?

    hmmm, does anyone know if Tanabe DP fits 05 MR? and What about JIC DP?

    anyone run with the works downpipe?

    i *ran* with it. I replaced my previous aftermarket downpipe with a WORKS downpipe and saw an immediate spool up difference. It has no rubbing issues and doesn't need spacers for the lower tie bars to clear it.

    anyone run with the works downpipe?

    no probs with mine...no fitment issues...as mentioned...able to use both tie bars w/o any clearance issues...

    minimal bends...relatively light...clean welds at the flanges...
    definitely a DP you should consider...

    anyone run with the works downpipe?

    from what I've seen on someone's MR, the works dp works pretty good and seems to be a quality piece.

    Re: anyone run with the works downpipe?

    Love my WORKS DP. Looks really great, especially with the ceramic coating! I had the DP and IP installed at the same time, and the car felt like it spooled faster afterward.

    Re: anyone run with the works downpipe?

    I'm getting my 76mm ceramic coated downpipe installed by RRE right now. From what I can tell, it was a very clean piece. But it better be more than that to justify its price...I'll let you know once I get it installed.

    Re: anyone run with the works downpipe?

    I did mine in 2 stages. First I installed the HFC + cat back, ran out of time for the DP until a week later. I felt a big difference with just the cat back. I then felt the difference with the DP installed. It made the car so responsive to the throttle, less noticeable was quicker spool. I felt it justified the asking price. I also switched from the K&N to the WORKS filter and noticed better response at freeway speeds and slight increase (~2mpg) in fuel economy. I love the sound of my Evo, that was very important to me, almost as much as the performance increase.

    Re: anyone run with the works downpipe?

    I don't have anything but stock to compare to, but I just got the WORKS 76mm dp, rally cat, and Greddy Ti installed. Hella loud but hella faster than stock. I sure didn't expect the exhaust swap to make that noticeable a difference in the spool and the kick in the pants it gives you once full boost hits. Wow. Can't wait to see what camshafts and some bigger injectors will do.

    Re: anyone run with the works downpipe?

    I went with the WORKS Exhale DP 70mm Exhaust (Downpipe), HF filter and the Stealth muffler. The sound is also stock and the performance was worth the money. I'm loving it.

    Re: downpipe needs to go!!

    This has been talked about a lot, but...

    1. Works
    2. TXS
    3. HKS
    4. etc.

    before getting rid of the downpipe now, have you tried plaing with it a little? Maybe Kartboy Hangers will do the trick.
