HKS hi-power dual exhaust ordered!

[benyuan5]

Thanks, that was one on the list of options for my X, but couldn't resist the hks in the end. The tomei sounds nice as well. but again these were choices for my X, not sure if there's a huge difference for the ix

everyone is selling used catbacks but I just wanna find a full turboback. no luck so far

just get a catback you like and put a testpipe.

basically what Macky said.

non-resonated and resonated test pipes won't cost that much.

[Alex@EDO]

looks mighty clean. I thought about the hks hi power for my IX but I'm leaning towards buschur. anyone out there with suggestions? feel free!

if you have the funds or you can find a used Tomei Expreme for the EVO IX that is probably your best buy!

I do like the buschur ones my self, huge fan of the espelir exhaust.

another option you can do and stay stealthy is run a E-Cut out or 3" straight pipe "resonated or non" with a Varex muffler attached. Varex muffler are Electronic as well. when close they direct airflow through the chambers to keep the car quiet, and when open it becomes a full straight pipe.

I'll need a downpipe also! most test pipes and downpipes for sale are Megan facing. I don't really like their products

the buschur confuses me...apparently there are magnaflow mufflers attached to them. tomei is so expensive and I can't find a used. why are they good?

catback = engine/turbo > oem downpipe > cat > aftermarket exhaust
turboback = engine/turbo > aftermarket downpipe > testpipe/straight pipe > aftermarket exhaust

catbacks start at the cat (catalytic converter). turbobacks include the downpipe and cat (in the form of a test pipe or HFC)

my favorite brand for downpipes are the MAP downpipes.. great build quality!



also yes Buschur uses Magnaflow mufflers, same as RRE they use magnaflow as well.

I like the Tomei Expreme because it's insanely loud with a full exhaust set up.. haha and it looks really nice and build quality is top notch.

catback= from the "cat" back
turboback= from the "turbo" back (downpipe)

[jiGGypiGGy]

catback= from the "cat" back
turboback= from the "turbo" back (downpipe)

just for completeness there is a axel back as well.

That was my plan as well

[benyuan5]

do having only a catback as a bolt on mess with the response and feel of your car? I'm not gonna tune until I get full piping

on the 8/9 it actually improves things, but it is always best to get the car tuned to maximize the potential of the catback.
