| also, im interested in doing over my exhaust, what are the differences between brand name systems (HKS etc) and making one here locally in a shop and just welding on the HKS barrel/tip after. other than price. |

Row, i think the manufacturers of these aftermarket parts do their homework...
1. there products are "supposed" to maximize freeflow,
2. its stainless steel/titanium (lifetime business)
3. as a result of (2) above, its lightweight in comparison to the material used locally....felt one recently Apexi...thing is unbelievable light. (think its for sale). |

Honestly, there is not much you can do. I remember using a gear oil from bel ray once and it was the best I ever used... however I can't say if it were GL4 or GL5.
Right now I'm using AMSoil 75-w90 and it works good... still is a little notchy till it gets up to speed. The little things you can do to help is
- make sure the bushings in the shifter lever are good. Accent bushings can be used.
- Adjust your clutch pedal...
- make sure allmounts are in good condition especially the lower ones.
- of course make sure your clutch and pressure plate isn't worn.
Those basic things help improve it, but it'll never really go away.

Well for one thng it won't rust... usually it's stainless steel. Another benefit is that you can bolt on with relative ease... try doing that at your muffler shop.... most times they weld everything so that getting it off may be a hassle.
It might be expensive, but at the end of the day it's worth it in the long run. |

Why don't you browse the mitsubishi lancer register foruma and see?
You may find places recommended to buy CD/E 9A systems... |

How much will it cost in total for the exhaust including shipping.
Like i said, I did mine locally and the difference. The guy i went to has a lot of experience in what he is doing. To each his own eh but i think the locally will be much more feasable. I have heard on many occasions on the 321 and LR forums of guys buying ready made kits and having to still modify them in some small way of the other to make it fit perfect without touching. I would not like to spend 5000TTD on a ready made brand name system only to have it cut in some places to make it work. |

Well if it costs 650 sterling which is $6825.00 TT (which i find is crazy)
Then you have to factor the 30% duty in this case $2047.50
Then you have to add VAT 15% to that which is say $1330.88
Then usually a package like that is about 20kgs which would be about $ 840.00
So your looking at total $11043.38
Which is honestly ridiculous as in the first place, UK prices MUCH more then US...
But that would be the WORST CASE scenario as someimes depending on the box size & on the good graces of the officer dealing with your package, the prices could be less... |

Too many uncertainties. Like I said, 4k giving you a really well finished exhaust from a man with 25 yrs experience. |

not disagreeing with you at all... agreed on the fact that it is a good option, but i'm just working on the basis of longevity and ease of install (and removal) for cases such as removal of your gas tank...
Personally if i could do it all over again with 9630 or the day i decide to buy an AWD gas tank, I would go with the bolt on item.
I am sure that the prices can be found cheaper... |
