IX Turbo Elbow & Downpipe

Hi,

I've searched...but cannot find a specific answer

What are the internal diameter sizing of the Helix Turbo Elbow and Downpipe and the Megan Racing Turbo Elbow and Downpipe for the Evo IX?

Any advantages/disadvantages over the Helix and Megan Racing ie size and best fit?

Please answer and No lectures on searching please...blah blah

Thanks!

ID of those DPs is the same = 3"
ID of those O2 HOUSINGS = 2.5" at the outlet

Neither of the above bits of info is important in regards to performance. They also are identical parts.

The stainless steel O2 housing available on Ebay and sold under the brand name of Stainless Steel Auto Chrome has been dyno proven to increase WHP by about 10-15.

Can you confirm that these parts can be mix and matched, ie Helix downpipe mating Megan Turbo elbow?

Thanks!

Just for reference...

Megan O2 housing = 2.5" id
Helix O2 housing = 2.5" id

Megan downpipe = 2.95" id
Helix downpipe = 2.75" id

NB Megan downpipe for Evo 8. Guess the Evo 9 should be the same id...

FYI

The Helix DP is full 3" ID however, its flange at the top is around 2.5-2.75 that makes a snug fit for the 02 housing.

Stock:
O2 housing 58mm (2.28")id

The details are from Megan and Helix direct. (I asked this months ago and finally they got back to me.)

From my experience, most downpipe flanges are true 3" but the piping is 2.75". Not many places have the equipment to bend true 3" but often bend 2.75" and add 3" flanges. Measurements should be taken inside the pipe and not at the flanges.

FYI

I urge you to cease spreading your misinfo.
