I definitely will... I'll eventually post up a video of a driveby but that might not be for a while.

Hey thanks for the compliments

I would love to take a pic for you but I just got back to school and forgot to take my camera.

If the evo7 bumper is shorter than the evo 8 bumper (Which my guess is that it is shorter, then you might get a little bit of stick out. But as it is right now this exhaust does NOT stick out of the evo8 bumper. Its sunken in about 1 inch.

Hope that helps, sorry I cant post up pics... If I eventually get my camera I will definitely do it.



I just drove ~300 miles btw on this exhaust. Mostly freeway miles with above 3,000 RPM. I chose not to put the silencer in just to see how it would be. It wasn't horrible but about half way I was definitely wishing I had put the silencer in. The higher the rpm's the louder it gets and it was pretty drony around 3,000. Oh well thats what the silencer is for

i have the same setup on my car, except i paid 400 shipped and i got an ebay o2 housing with mine. i love the sound and the fit was great. preforms like it should, i got alot of compliments about it at the dynoflash meet a couple weeks back. im also using the cat-delete with o2 fix. i find that inside with the windows up its not that loud, nothing you have to yell over to talk to passengers, but you can tell its not stock.

Hey mate no worries. If it sits in about an inch on your bumper I would say its about right on the evo7 jdm bumper.

Hey guys. Just got mine installed last night. LOVE it so far. I did have to hammer the DP to clear the acd, not really too much, its no big deal. But fitment was awesome. Installation was a breeze. It sounds nice, pretty loud, but i like it.

What a difference it made tho, car holds boost so much better now, i was actually suprised how much of a difference it made with that. Definetly the best money i've spent. I'll post up some pics & some vids later on when i get home from work.

If anybody is thinking about getting this exhaust, don't hesitate, you'll be pleasantly surprised how nice of a system this thing is.

Is it me or does the exhaust look like its a little too far in from the bumper? It looks like the tip is a few inches away from the end of the bumper?

This might be hard to do since you guys already have the exhausts installed, but could you post pics of the area you had to hammer? I'd like to see how much of an indention is needed. Maybe you took pics of it before you put it back on.

I didn't take any pics of that unfortunately. Best thing to do is to get the stock exhaust off, take the down pipe, fit it up under the car how it would be, and see where its hitting the acd, and then take a marker and mark it, then get out and hammer it. Its not much of an indention tho.
