Logical upgrade path for the Evo IX
I am wondering what the logical uprade path for IX is. I have seen with the WRX you want to get an ECU and DP, TP for a good boost in hp. They never recomend a MBC. What should be done with the IX to extend power?

For an EVO 9, I'd just do a reflash of the ECU and leave it at that. Nothing like gaining almost 100hp for so little....
For exhaust, from what I've seen, the DP iand cat are bigger restrictions than the catback. On my Evo 8, I only plan on doing the DP, going to a bigger cat and leaving the stock muffler and inter. pipe.

IX upgrade path - TBE, MBC, Boost Gauge, Drop-in filter, Flash. That should get you near 330 whp on a Dynojet.

I don't want the car to be any louder than stock.

Get rid of the stock cat. It's extremely restrictive as I found out the hard way.
Good way to start if you want to stay quiet with as much stock parts as possible with power gains are: MBC, filter, boost gauge, flash, and test pipe.
