will the HKS CARBON TI CATBACK EXHAUST fit the ix mr w/out problem?
Need help guys. I really wanted this HKS CARBON TI CATBACK, for my ix mr, but i heard that it's gonna rub on the tranny, i don't know if this is true or not. when i searched the exhaust it just said that for the ix's an O2 bung cover is needed and the brackets or hooks needs to be changed or something, need your opinion guys, any info is very much appreciated. thanx again

I have the same system on my 8 with no clearance or fitment issues. HKS provides all the brackets and mounting hardware to avoid issues. I'm not sure of any differences between the 8/9 in terms of exhaust fitment.

THANX GUYS. I also heard that since the evo ix mr has 6spd, extra gear, unlike the 8's and the non-mr's, it will rub to the gear where it connects to the transmission when you reverse. how true is this?

The only thing is you have to make sure they come with the hanger brackets adapters. HKS hangers for some reason need brackets to work on stock hangers. DO a search on this.
I bought mine used at the time and did not know, and the seller did not include them. You will have no way to hook up the hangers on the carbon TI with the stock rubber hangers without these brackets that comes with the exhaust new.
I have a IX MR and it clears everything. I had a o2 bung welded on the catback just after where they cat would be because my downpipe and testpipe does not have one anymore.
