What about that Hallman Boost Controller you got on your car ah.... works good doesn't it... ah....

HALLMAN IS IN CANTON OH!!!!

You gonna go take it off now.

 

lol yeah, thanks for the link. here's a nice excerpt from this blog:

would describe a bunch of people on this site, quick to bash japanese stuff as 'expensive' and always insert ___ as a cheaper alternative. hilarious

 

depends on the product, of course. you gave me hks... is that it? if so, lol that's some research. what about mine's? amuse? arc? whatever the case, the evo is a jdm car and i really don't care to go over this 100 times with people. even the 'american' tuner i went to agrees that japanese parts are of higher quality. if you think otherwise, you're simply lying to yourself.

i ordered the amuse catback and i guarantee it's of higher quality than anything made on these shores. same goes for the arc. take it or leave it.

and to the chap who brought up my hallman mbc, hey... i never said ALL american products are crap. let's not force words

 

Just because two people agree on something doesn't make it a fact.

 

I guess that because I am trying to say not to paint all U.S. Evo products as being bad I am anti JDM...Jeesh, Looks like I gotta take off my voltex kit, Volks etc... Anyone want a really cheap widebody?

 

never named you, take a chill pill. so many tense folks, i'm simply having fun with this debate

 

You guys need JDM4EVER bumper stickers for your Evo's.

Its fine to have a preference to Japanese made parts, but bashing American made parts without any proof is pointless.

 

i'll agree to disagree then. when someone on this shore tops the work of say... JUN?

 

It's guys riding high horses like you that give JDM a bad rep. Quality is quality and some folks see it differently then others. I completely agree that the Amuse and ARC exhausts are beautiful, No doubt...Does everyone need to pay turbo kit prices for their exhaust...No. Will a BR/AMS/ETS exhaust make around the same if not more power, I'd be willing to bet so. If power is what your looking for and not beauty you'd be sill to pay thousands for a cat back. Different strokes for different folks.

The pics the OP posted looks like the exhaust is hanging lower than the pics in the link I posted. I would suggest he contacts JRod and let him know.

 

I'm sorry but North America (besides PR) puts out the fastest imports in the world. We also make the best parts including shops like, but not limited or in any order, BUSCHUR, AMS, FULL RACE, AFI, ETS, Forced Performance etc... JDM companies do make nice products, that fit very well, but to sit here and speak of them as kind is kind of foolish.

-Most JDM exhausts are NOT full 3" or do NOT have 3" mufflers
-The HKS Hi Power exhaust for example is MILD STEEL and rusts
-Jdm evo turbo kits are nothing to make a big deal about. The best JDM kits wouldnt hold a candle to the FP red, which is a stock FRAME turbo!!!!
-Intercooler kits??? Tube and fin??? put that up against Buschur's race core and see what happened
-Cams??? JUN is the only company to speak of, what about GSC, Buschur, Cosworth (from Europe but still NOT JDM)
-Computers??? not necessarily USDM, but Motec and Hydra are 2 of the best. AEM is obviously a USDM company. Show me some 1000+hp evos on power FC or HKS F con.

Japanese companies are more about how things look then perform. All the body kits and rims and stuff like that comes from there. Dont get me wrong, the cyber evo was R&D'd heavily for its hood and so on, BUT I bet it still couldnt compete with AMS's TA1 car. I bet if AMS was More into circuit racing, they could develop body parts that would be far more superior then whats available now

3" lift kit should remedy this problem easily.

 

I would agree it does depend on the product. HKS I'm sure is not the only one but it's the first one I could think of off hand without looking into it further that I knew for sure had fitment issues on other JDM cars and I also stated that you should further research the American exhaust products before you completely bash them all as crap since clearly you had mis-information about many of them.

I wouldn't debat that the Amuse is higher quality than the other catbacks mentioned...at least in appearance...but I'd be highly suprised if it could best the American catbacks in the performance department. The Amuse exhaust looks great for sure and the quality is top knotch.

I just don't like seeing people bash on products that they really know nothing about because that gives off the wrong portrayal to those that come into the situation having zero knowledge about which exhausts to chose and if they read a thread stating all the American catbacks are trash and JDM is the only way to go they might make a hasty decision without weighing all of the viable options availabe to the consumer and might end up regretting their decision.

BACK ON TOPIC,

Man that exhaust looks like it sits a little low for sure, I guess it's just the nature of the speed bumps that is giving you troubles, the car is sort of "high centering" on the lower sectin of the muffler on those wide speed bumps. I would presume that if you hit them at an angle you shouldn't have any more clearance issues even with people in the back seat if you're going slow enough.

 

Let's just say we're workin' on that

 

don't feed the troll. he's just trying to bait you...
