I have a question? please help
I need to know if the 8 and 9 factory exhaust are the same or not. I have a down pipe and cat for a 9 and want to know if a 8 catback will fit the 9 down pipe and cat.

Now are you talking about hooking the 9 DP+cat to a Evo 8 aftermarket catback? I'm assuming that is what you are reffering to. If you are yes it will fit however you need to weld or plug up the O2 sensor bung on the Evo 8 catback. Evo 9 have the O2 sensor on the Cat and does not have enought slack to reach the secondary outlet. I haven't seen an aftermarket evo cat for a 9 so check to make sure there is a bung there. If not then go to the dealer buy an O2 sensor for an 8 because they have a longer lead and reaplce that

Whistling, there are no exhausts made specifically for the IX, but most fit fine.
