Christ Kracka, you have another baller on your hands. I can't imagine why anybody would spend that kind of money on an exhaust.

Re: Greetings MitsuStyles! Kracka recruits yet another one!
 

Because it's nice. That's why. haha

Re: Greetings MitsuStyles! Kracka recruits yet another one!
 

It is a nice exhaust! Hopefully yours doesn't rub the driveshaft; I would recommend getting rear diff and driveshaft bushings ASAP though.

Re: Greetings MitsuStyles! Kracka recruits yet another one!
 

I think that dude has 'special' luck. The same sort that I've had with many other things. I looked at mine last weekend and there hasn't been any rubbing.

Re: Greetings MitsuStyles! Kracka recruits yet another one!
 

How long have you had your SX exhaust? Do you have the full TBE (I'm assuming yes from the picture above)? I only went with the catback as Kracka got me a deal on a Megan testpipe.

Re: Greetings MitsuStyles! Kracka recruits yet another one!
 

It's been on there for 11months/8k miles or so. I went with a TBE w/hfc and switched to a tp during my build.

If I were doing it again I'd get a MAP dp/Rexpeed tp/Buschur crossflow cbe. There were a lot fewer options a year ago.

Re: Greetings MitsuStyles! Kracka recruits yet another one!
 

Uhh, aren't you from Texas? Man up son!

Re: Greetings MitsuStyles! Kracka recruits yet another one!
 

Yes I am, but it's never been THIS hot in Texas before (at least not for X number of days in a row). It takes a little adjusting when you get a whole new level of "hot" down here.

I mean, for the MOD event we had last month, I actually got sunburned. I never get sunburned and I don't even wear sunblock!

Re: Greetings MitsuStyles! Kracka recruits yet another one!
 

If you were going to go with a Rexpeed tp, why not get their dp as well since it's cheaper and lifetime warranty is offered?

Re: Greetings MitsuStyles! Kracka recruits yet another one!
 

The design looks sketchy to me. They didn't do a widemouth and they didn't keep the gases separated long enough for a recirc to work right...they did half of each.

Re: Greetings MitsuStyles! Kracka recruits yet another one!
 

At half the price...perfect! LOL

After seeing Scheides' I'm really leaning towards a coated MAP. I do like the divorced design, the bellmouth design used by AMS is just asking for excessive turbulence. I really wish they would have just cast a divider into it.

Re: Greetings MitsuStyles! Kracka recruits yet another one!
 

Update:

So I actually got my car jacked up on Tuesday and only managed to remove my muffler before having to get dinner. I was going to remove the tow hook yesterday and also remove the midpipe, but it started F-ing pouring when I got off work so that killed me working on the car (we don't have a garage so the car is in the backyard in open view of the sky). Hopefully it will dry up a bit by tomorrow afternoon so I can get under the car again and continue.

Also ordered Torque Solution Drive Shaft bushings and Beatrush Rear Differential bushings from MAP today (with major help from Kracka, thanks again bro!). Did some interwebz searching and both seem pretty easy to swap. From the reviews I read, the drive shaft bushings make a big difference that you can feel. Look forward to changing these out. :)

Re: Greetings MitsuStyles! Kracka recruits yet another one!
 

I did the rear diff bushings in my car in about 10 minutes flat from the time I put the jack under the car to the time I lowered the car back down. The drive shaft bushings were a little more of a pain in the ass because of the bolts being at different heights and the bushings moving around, but I don't really know how it goes on a car with the stock driveshaft as I have an aftermarket one.

Re: Greetings MitsuStyles! Kracka recruits yet another one!
 

There's one that is obstructed by the exhaust but still no big deal.

Re: Greetings MitsuStyles! Kracka recruits yet another one!
 

I'm just going to wait until the bushings come in before I put the SX exhaust on as the car is already up in the air and the entire catback will be off. So that'll just be more room to work with.

Re: Greetings MitsuStyles! Kracka recruits yet another one!
 

I wanted to set the car on fire when I had to get to that one when replacing my drive shaft in the dead of winter on a cold, wet garage floor.

Re: Greetings MitsuStyles! Kracka recruits yet another one!
 

Set it on fire? To warm your hands of course right ;)

Re: Greetings MitsuStyles! Kracka recruits yet another one!
 

Something like that.

Re: Greetings MitsuStyles! Kracka recruits yet another one!
 

Do we need to link back to the UICP fight between you and goodhart that left one of you banned?

Re: Greetings MitsuStyles! Kracka recruits yet another one!
 

Negative, that was murlo. lol

Re: Greetings MitsuStyles! Kracka recruits yet another one!
 

One of us was banned? Was that when I first got banned? :)

Honestly, I don't even remember what was said...but i stand by what I said...i am always in the right.

Re: Greetings MitsuStyles! Kracka recruits yet another one!
 

Me too, funny how that works LOL

Re: Greetings MitsuStyles! Kracka recruits yet another one!
 

Decided to put on the Specialty X Exhaust since I had nothing better to do.

Re: Greetings MitsuStyles! Kracka recruits yet another one!
 

Sounds great! I really like the S-X catback. Did you get your drivetrain bushings installed already too?

Re: Greetings MitsuStyles! Kracka recruits yet another one!
 

No not yet. The drivetrain and rear diff bushings should be here Wednesday and Thursday. MAP drop shipped one of them (I forget which ones). I was going to wait until the bushings arrived before putting the SX on, but I didn't have much else to do yesterday so I went ahead and did part of the work required (remove driver side rear tow hook and trim the cat heat shield). That's all I was going to do, but then I had more time to do nothing so I went ahead and installed it. I know I'll have to remove it to do both sets of bushings, but I'm ok with that.

Re: Greetings MitsuStyles! Kracka recruits yet another one!
 

Sounds good!

Re: Greetings MitsuStyles! Kracka recruits yet another one!
 

Rexpeed CF Gurney Flap (Yes I bought it purely for looks and making my Evo more unique :))

Whoa, that's big!

TWSS...to me ;)

Re: Greetings MitsuStyles! Kracka recruits yet another one!
 

Ricer! ;)

Re: Greetings MitsuStyles! Kracka recruits yet another one!
 

Lol! I knew I can count on you guys to make me feel better during this massive allergy attack. ;)

Re: Greetings MitsuStyles! Kracka recruits yet another one!
 

Beer helps!

Re: Greetings MitsuStyles! Kracka recruits yet another one!
 

liking your jacks mondo :)

Re: Greetings MitsuStyles! Kracka recruits yet another one!
 

That's how we Mexican's roll! Actually my dad is using the jack stands on his truck so I had to improvise with what was laying around. :banana:

Re: Greetings MitsuStyles! Kracka recruits yet another one!
 

Finally have both sets of my bushings! Hopefully if the weather permits, I'll install these bad boys this weekend.

Re: Greetings MitsuStyles! Kracka recruits yet another one!
 

You're going to really enjoy the tighter drivetrain! Are we doing your cluch pill during the modding day in 2 weeks?

Re: Greetings MitsuStyles! Kracka recruits yet another one!
 

Haven't done the rear diff but the driveshaft bushings would be worth the price if they were made of gold.

Re: Greetings MitsuStyles! Kracka recruits yet another one!
 

I decided not to do the pill. Reason being that I'm really used to how my car is now. I'm not sure how I would like the clutch with the pill out. Keep in mind that this is the first manual car I've ever owned and driven. Sure it's been 2 years that I've been driving it, but I don't know any better. Besides, I don't rip on my car like Jose does so I think the way I drive, my clutch will last me quite a bit even with the pill in. I've got ~29k miles on it and I haven't noticed the clutch change one bit so I think I'm ok. :)
