Evo Exhaust - Best Exhaust For Evo X

Pants kicking power, that won't kick you in the rear.
So you've been sporting your new Evo X around and decided it needs a new kick in the pants. Where to start? Well, for tuners the most rewarding place is the exhaust system. Why? Simply put - it nets the buyer a decent increase in horsepower and almost always draws more attention to your already sweet ride. The new Mitsubishi Evo X is definitely a breed of its own. Enough has already been said about specs of the car so let's move right into expelling some facts about the Evo exhaust upgrade.
First place to start is at the top of the exhaust system. If you've got some serious green to lay down on this project you might want to consider starting with the turbo. Although the factory turbo puts out a nice 18lbs. of boost off the assembly line, in this case, bigger would be better. ATP is currently up for grabs at a price that won't boost your expenses. The kit includes a variety of 5 different Garret setups to allow the driver/owner to put the right power to their particular application. However, in the case of the boosting your boost, you're going to need a better place for all that expelled gas to go.
There many brands out there but research is key, and having been around for so many years nets you the experience to give proven results. This is exactly what GReddy does best. R&D is the name of the game here, and GReddy is a champion. TIG-welded, full stainless steel with a burnt titanium tip gives this system the design and look you're after for your Evo exhaust. The Ti-C system gives the ride 9.1+HP and 5.9+TQ increase according to Import tuner. Not a bad setup...except for the price. When it comes to exhaust systems there's no getting around spending dough and at $665 bucks for the cat Ti-C system, you're shelling a "bit" of cash (in contrast to for-mentioned turbo kit). But upgrading the exhaust is vital to improving turbo performance. By allowing the gases to expel faster, the turbo(s) can spin more freely, and also improving the waste gate actuation. Additionally you could add the GReddy downpipe for only another $175 tacking on another 3.4+HP and 2.1+TQ. Power gains like these certainly outweigh their costs and give you the look, sound, and performance your Evo X craves.
