Hey guys just wanted to show you guys my Evo2 install with Helix testpipes installed. The process took the shop like 3 hours to do since the downpipes were so snugged in the headers. Each Cat took about an hour to do and I felt sorry for the guy who did it which made him so tired and weak! But it turned out great. I had the EGT sensor put in on the downpipe since I didnt have it put on my headers when I did my turbo install. Here are some pics of it!

had to relocate the evap:

My friend's HKS TI exhaust:


any of you Evo2 guys noticed a rattle coming from the back? I have to get the rattle checked out again. Anyways, the sound of the exhuast and downpipe sounds great. No raspy sound with the downpipe. I have yet to dyno it, maybe sometime next week. I will post dyno results of the before and after exhaust installed, as well as soundclips of the Evo2 and a sound

 

in your first "downpipe" photo, it looks as if the exhaust comes to a "Y" after the test pipes. i could have sworn, before i saw the greddy evo2 having more or less a "dual-y" looking configuration, with both sides coming into what looked like a dual in/dual out muffler, before going back to the rear of the car. anyhoo, i like the looks of it, and as always, any dyno information/clips are always applauded! looks nice!

 

No rasp at all with the test pipes? Damn I think I know what exhaust im buying next Any chance you can post some sound clips as well? Thanks!

 

hes got no rasp b/c he is TT... the turbos mute the rasp

 

Is it loud?

 

not loud at all. It is deep and dont sound like them Hondas and Acuras. I will post sound clips and dynocharts later for you guys!

 

You are talking about this right? I am wondering the same thing!

 

nice Z

 

thank you!

 

sup tim this is steven.........nice setup.....it was hella cold that day when they install the test pipe and the evo2 exhaust........we need to do a sound clip.......ttyl at work...peace

Nice.

 

exactly- here is a shot of what i thought was the production version:

ahhh, now thats the original version Evo. It does not come fully stainless steel pipes. Now the Evo2 comes with the X-pipe. So I guess I got the right setup. Sup Steven!

 

Not loud with test pipes? You sure? That is rare. Can you post a clip? I was thinking of this combo but i'm looking for something loud

 

the reason why it is not loud is because of the turbos. They drown out the rasp and the loudness. I am dynoing my car tomorrow and will post soundclips too. I will keep you guys posted.

 

the test pipes looks like it doesn't have resonator... if it doesn't ahve resonator, it will most likely be raspy, at least for N.A. application.

 

As I said up above, I am turboed so it is not raspy or loud!
