Relocating the throtle cable is another thing on my to-do list. It takes all of 5 minutes, I just need to do it already. And I have been reading the wire tuck thread. Doesn't seem too complicated, just time consuming. My buddy did a wire tuck on both of this Evo's, he was gonna assist me so we get it done faster. To answer your question the UICP doesn't rub on anything including the ACD pump, but I will say it's pretty damn close. My biggest fear was it not fitting under the Perrin MAF bracket. But once everything is in and bolted up there's about a inch of gap.

What does 02 dump do exactly? I just installed Muse Upper & Lower Inter Cooler Piping, I'm not looking to spend more money but from what I read online, up to 30whp?? Is that for real?

When the wastegate opens it will dump the exhaust straight out of that short pipe instead of exiting with the exhaust gases through the catback. It will be extremely loud by the way and there are performance benefits having an open dump.

Do you ever roll out to the pavs in Scottsdale on Saturday nights?!

I am running the Nisei LICP and it fits fine.. My Muse stock route UICP definitely as fitment issues with my Nisei Intercooler

In regards to performance and gains there is a increase in hp and tq due to the decrease in back pressure on the turbine wheel. Yes it is louder than a recirculated 02 housing, but that's only under WOT. Daily driving it's barely louder.

It is hands down my favorite mod I've ever done. I highly recommend it, and for the price it's hard to beat. Muse 02 Dump FTW!

Ordered this from Tiago and VRSF last week. Once again great communication and fast shipping. Gonna swap out my current Niesi LICP for this stainless steel Muse LICP. Thanks again Tiago, VRSF, and Muse.
