The Evo is a money pit for sure. I had a 2003 (first year over here) and she was so much fun to mod that I forgot that I had other bills to pay. Besides, the differential and transmission were very finicky. I changed my tranny fluid every 5,000 miles just to keep it shifting smoothly. Man, I miss her so much. Nothing like an awd launch on the strip. 12.8 was my best with a subpar 1.8 60 foot time. "You pay to play" and I was paying WAY TOO MUCH for my car.

 

man if I could get my hands on one...but they are WAY over priced and like you said, you were paying too much

sorry for thread jacking...on with the topic

I say wait for the Synapse exhaust and then just get a 3" cutout...Synapse makes excellect products

 

when will that be?

 

not sure...you'd have to ask Adrenalin9150

 

the catback for my buddys sti (not sure which one ill have to ask him) has an angled tip becuase it goes under the axle and stright out back and to make that as stright as possible it is slanted a bit and if you look it makes it that much more stright.. and same on my buddys gsx.. he has the apexi n-1 i belive it actually makes the exhust stright as possible.. as for evos ive seen them literally stright all the way except for a minor bend in the down pipe.. ****** crazy

 

Im not sure when syn's cat back is coming out ill try to find out for you guys, how i found out in the first place, was , when i called morgan ot order my DP i asked how much he wanted for an extra 3 bolt flange so i could make my own cat back cause im not crazy about any on the market, and i dont like waiting and thats when he told me about it. IT IS DEF WORTH WAITING FOR THOUGH!!!

 

Right now i have the synapse DP and a hahn 3 in with no muffler... this **** is loud! Way to loud to be daily driven, lots of drone and what not. I just took the muffler section off, but the Hahn exhaust and the Dp i think is the perfect combo of loud when you want it to be and quiet when you dont. And the hahn exhaust is already available.. no need to wait for one

 

that defenitley seems to be the best combination for stuff that you can get right now as far as exhaust goes

 

cut off the muffler today and am very impressed. sounds really good, and can hear the turbo better.

 

oh gawd here we go.

 

lol, yes, do a cutout, do it! just don't lose the plate like I did. LOL.
